===Additional Differences===
*The Western version has a partial English dub; while majority of the voice lines (particularly in regards to ingame grunts and FMV cutscenes) have been dubbed, many of the game's voiced dialogue had been simply removed altogether.
*Item Codes had been re-generated in the Western version.
*The Japanese version of Phantasy Star Portable 2 had various collaborations with real-life brands and certain anime. While SEGA of America was able to license many of the collaborations present in the game, certain items were unable to be licensed for the Western version. The fate of these items were as follows:
**Gravure Japan Bikini Models: Replaced with a Western exclusive poster.
**Famitsu/Dengeki Weapons: Rebranded.
**Pizza Hut Weapons and Outfit: Rebranded to Pizza Shack.
**Pizza Hut Room Item: Removed from the Western version.
**Fanta Room Furniture: Rebranded to Juice.
**Mobage Town Weapons: Rebranded to Real Handgun G.
**Moyashimon World Aura: Removed from the Western version.

*Despite the option being present ingame, the Western version would never receive any of the Japanese DLC missions localized. As a result, the distribution of certain items had been altered to make them still obtainable without these missions.
