This article pertains to an item, mission or other feature available exclusively in Phantasy Star Portable.

Titles are earned by reaching certain goals in the game, such as defeating a required number of enemies or completing particular missions On occasion, unique rewards are given after earning a title.

The way to PS Perfect

While most titles might seem really straight-forward to obtain, a select few are still harder.

Whereas for the Japanese version both Kog Nadd and Zasharogan could not be found without 2+/3+ players before they appeared in download missions, this might complicate things for US players without multiple PSPs/copies (or local friends who play it), a PS3 or an Xlink Kai-compatible PC. Either way, considering that Neudaiz free mission Cost of Research cannot be cleared without a second player either, other titles such as (Neudaiz Tourist) and (Not the Only Hero) are unobtainable without other people as well.

As a general note on obtaining 80% in all weapon types, all non-Kubara non-Crea A-rank weapons should be obtainable from their respective manufacturers' shops, while all non-Kubara 1~7* weapons plus B-/A-rank Kubara copies should be obtainable from the Colony weapons shop. Shop inventory changes every ten minutes (based on the PSP's internal clock), so a good way to get more low-end weapons is to try the shops every ten minutes -- however, it has also been shown to be possible to change the internal clock to guarantee they'll sell certain items. For information on how to obtain other items, please check their respective articles, or, in case that fails, try the 'What links here' link at the bottom of the sidebar. Please note that with the removal of download content from the US version, information on how to obtain previously DLC-exclusive rares might not be updated yet (please help update the info or post it[1][2] if possible).

Others have noted it actually becomes increasingly harder[3] to obtain certain area drops once the player has obtained a higher drop rate through the title system. As for weapons this would primarily influence Creas, Papillon Ciel and the 10* Kubara copies (unlike the B/A Kubara copies that are still sold in shops anyway). Weapons aside, Me / Quick, Sweet Line, some clothing items and PA disks are also affected. Believers have advised people to collect these area drops[4] before increasing their drop rate by too much (or even at all), even though it is not actually the case these drops become unavailable at a higher drop rate.
