Sega's Phantasy Star Portable series is now finger-lickin' good.

Today at the Tokyo Game Show, Sega revealed that the Col. will be a recruitable character for upcoming title Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity. You can go on missions with Colonel Sanders!

The Colonel will even have his own attacks. Pictured is his in-game render. This year marks the 40th anniversary of Kentucky Fried Chicken in Japan ? hence the cross promotion.

Phantasy Star Portable is no stranger to food promotions. Phantasy Star Portable 2 featured Pizza Hut.

Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity will be out this winter in Japan.

Well I guess that's interesting but exactly is Col Sanders useful? Actually how was Pizza Hut useful? I never played the game but can't think of a way this makes sense.

Another thread about this a few hours ago, but its colonel Sanders, I'm sure they've thought of a way for him to be useful.

What? Throw Fried Chicken at people? Threaten to cook them in frying oil until they give him money? I'm at a loss.

Also sorry, didn't see a thread about this before.

He's only going to be useful in battles of attrition. He's going to reduce your opponent's attack speed and eventually give it a heart attack after about an hour dealing damage equal to 100% of it's health.

I have nothing constructive to post, I just thought it would be appropriate with my avatar.

You will have a subquest during which you must discover the lost sacred 11 spices of succulence.

His weapon will be his southern gentleman cane, for magic he will summon double down sandwiches which will max allies health/strength but cause slow health degradation as the battle progresses.

Also, he will make delicious biscuits.

You think this kind of thing is what Bobby Kotick was talking about? This is worse than the Burger King games since the BK games at least had (albiet middling in quality) games set around the ideas.

I...wha...that's...

...you know what. Fuck it.
Colonel Sanders in a video game isn't worth losing another point of SAN over.
