Phantasy Star Zero rises in NA, Europe

Coming soon ! i cant wait !! I played so much on the Dreamcast they seem to have taken away the futuristic blades but it looks cool anyway

I would like to see sega go back to their roots and make a 2D Shining Force Game and 2D Phantasy Star game for the Nintendo Ds. Save the multiplayer and supped up graphics for consoles or PC. Zero doesnt impress me because there is no way it will be able to compare to PSoBlue or PSU. Sega should have dropped the 3D environments and just made a simple, strong storied action game. Now with the release of PSP:2 I feel we are getting further and further away from actual PS and its becoming way more flashy and "final fantasy esque". Please get back to your roots Sega, these nonsense new titles just don't do it for your fans. But I will be buying PSZero.

@cit lolll clearly you ain't a true PSO fan. Anyone still playing BlueBurst and AOTI these days know PS0 is gonna be the best version. I suggest you do a bit of reading before even posting anything...

im kind of skeptic the ds can handle more than a few players on screen at the same time, this will not be an mmorpg but a multiplayer one , with up to 8 players probably

@cit So what if new player enjoy it more than old players? I understand that the myriad of old Phantasy Star players might be disappointed, but is it wrong that new players can enjoy it also? It seems like that's what you're saying.

Why does the characters have to be kids? Not everyone that owns a DS is under 15 years, sigh. And what about the fans of the original games, when are they going to be treated with a new _real_ Phantasy Star game? Or at least a English remake of I, II and IV. Especially IV. Feels like this franchise is walking the same road as Sonic and Megaman. And the sad thing is that Sega gets away with it, because people who have never played PS before will probably buy and enjoy this game, hence Sega gets $ and the game will be considered a success. However, the fans that loved the original Series will get nothing except a big finger from SEGA. The same thing happened to the Fallout franchise. It's sad really.

Can't wait to get this, it' going to rock.

GAHHHH!!!!!! Where is Phantasy Star V

Never played a Phantasy Star before, but I do have to say I am very interested in this one. With this and the new Dragon Quest IX coming to the DS I might not have time to play the consoles. Well I might make some time for Madworld... and House of the Dead.... and maybe the Conduit.... um Klonoa too... yea and Deadly Creatures... and the new Pikmin... and probably Rune Frontier... FF Crystal Chronicles.... a lil' time for Wii Sports Resort too... Ghostbusters... and hopefully Fragile... but that's it... well and Kid Icarus if that turns out to be the Factor 5 secret project.

All i care about is to see a remake for Phantasy Star 2 or 4 on either PS3,XBOX360,or PC,and i very much prefer the PC.

I heard Winter 2009 myself, my response to that? A whole year?!!! Christ Sega, what the hell makes it so difficult to bring a DS game to the US? There wasn't even this much time difference in bringing the original PSO to the US. And whose to say that you won't cancel this US release on us like you did with the Phantasy Star remakes? Bastards. I'm buying Monster Hunter 3 for the Wii on day 1. And if online play for PSZ isn't free, then I may not buy it at all.

sweet

This is really good news for English fans. Hopefully, Zoawird-roz (Not sure of the spelling but it's the awesomely gorgeous Wizard of Oz DS game) will get the same treatment soon!

Sounds good, how about an rts of Shinging Force now, and make ti good Sega quit dropping the ball.

Awesome :D

Well that's cool! I love Phantasy Star! I hope it will be better than Universe... But isn't there supposed to be one also on PSP?

Seriously... Although phantasy star online will never be as great or personally influential as the original four - phantasy star online consumed hours upon hours of my time. C.A.R.D. revolution was lame, Universe sucked and i don't have great hope for this... Here's for hoping Sega doesn't run yet another classic franchise into the ground through "reinvention" - IE nights/golden axe/the altered beast that was so bad it couldn't even be released in NA/etc.

now lets see a remake of Phantasy star IV.

It doesn't matter what I say. I live in Europe and we get the ass end of games. In America, you guys immediately get the games. People here in Ireland have to wait for several months just to get over here. I'm still waiting for Crono Trigger and the DS version of an old Final Fantasy game (the one with the Dragoons) finally came here about 2 months ago.

This will be the first Phantasy Star game I ever get.

sweet i was hoping this would come to na but fall is a while to wait

.

good but im looking for some new Wii games right now.

nintendoboy16 Phantasy Star Online that was the good start

Never played a Phantasy Star, I think this is a good start.

Great game. I'm playing the japanese version on my DS right now. The graphics are way better than they look in screenshots n'stuff. It's more like chibi PSO than PSU.

is that like a mmo on the ds

yes thank you!

I loved PSO:Episodes 1 and 2. I played that game more than any other game(beat it on the hardest difficulty in both episodes). Hopefully Sega makes it a great game.

Yes bring it on.

Seemingly has the same setup as Phantasy Star Online did, so I have a feeling it's going to be a decent game. I couldn't dare touch PSO again on any other console, however i'd certainly give it a go on the DS. Too bad the graphics are going to be so horrid.

Sounds great, but every "hunter" or "guardian" knows that if the wifi is free there's a good chance this one is more likely to be overrun by kids and pre-teen adolesents. Seriously though, after the crap on PSO and PSU, do parents really just enter in their credit card number to any pay2play mmo their kid wants and not care about it?

Phantasy Star Zero: Monster Hunter for the DS Best news since ....Monster Hunter thri for Wii

Please tell me this wont suck like Phantasy Star Universe...

phantasy star for ds and wifi hell ya, hopefully it will be better then PSU

Sounds cool.

Awesome! I'm glad they are Releasing it in NA. Fall isn't as bad as I expected so I'm cool with that. They need some more JPN games released here!!!
