Phantasy Star Zero is a new entry in the Phantasy Star universe for the Nintendo DS. Phantasy Star Zero expands on the adventure gameplay mechanics of Phantasy Star Online and Phantasy Star Universe with a complex offline/online multiplayer mode as well as a general story mode. One of the coolest new features for the multiplayer mode is visual chat. Players have access to a scratch pad on the bottom screen, which they can fill with doodles and send to fellow players. The drawings appear in bubbles above the characters inside the game.
Sega’s marquee RPG franchise is coming soon to the DS. Watch the first Phantasy Star Zero trailer:
