description
Phantasy Star Zero is a highlighted production by Sega, the fruit of the combined efforts between the anime producer Kobooka Toshiyuki and the mystery novelists Shiwasu Tooru and Arai Teru. It inherits the exciting gameplay and adopts a completely new storyline.

Three races are present in this installment, the Humans, the androids Casts and Newmans, a new type of beings that descended from the moon. Depending on what strengths you value and what weaknesses you can afford have, decide your player character's race and profession.

The game takes place two centuries after a great war which destroys everything. To rebuild civilization, the humans, the only race left on the crumbling world did all they could and constructed cities. Within the city everything remains peaceful, but once they step out, the people are accosted by enemies.

To keep their cities safe, the humans formed the hunters organizations and joined forces Casts to combat the enemies' aggression. However, there is another race which humans have forgotten for they have disappeared even from the history books. When the Newmans descend from the moon, new opportunities for adventures and conflicts opened.

I've heard rumors that there's a way to get at least a partial English translation off the Japanese cartridge. There any truth to this?

As of now there is no translation, not even partial. If you have played Phantasy Star Online it isn't too hard to figure out what to do. Once you figure out the main hub, and get into your first dungeon/mission, its pretty easy. The picto-chat is cool too, but you can only use pre-set ones in random games with strangers. You can however use them in games with friends (FC).
Graphics are amazing for the DS, and the game is pretty fun. Brings back memories of PSO, and it doesn't have a monthly fee! :thumbup:

PSO on DC never had a monthly fee, at least not in UK.

Anyway this is a great game, i'd recommend it, the controls feel a bit awkward for a while but you get used to them. Can't wait for an English release.
