I was surprised to hear during our podcast that Phantasy Star Zero is coming out this coming week. I had no idea the release snuck up on us like that! I really do want to get a copy, and I hope some of you guys go for one as well. While Japan wanted nothing to do with the game, I think it could be quite a hit here.

Copypasta's from wiki:

Featured in the game is "Visual Chat", a take on PictoChat where players communicate by drawing on the DS touchscreen. According to the February issue of Nintendo Power (Vol.238, page 38), "Up to 20 messages may be saved to shortcuts so they're accessible at any time via a quick tap of the touch screen". However, communication among unfamiliar users is limited to keyboard chat and premade images. The game contains three online modes: Free Mode, in which the player is randomly paired up with a party; Friend Mode, where the player can invite friends into a private room (and vice versa); and Single Mode, where the player can play online by onesself to level up (similar to Phantasy Star Online's offline mode). Also, there is a full offline story mode as mentioned above.

The game contains over 350 weapons[1], debuting two new weapon classes, Shields and Gunslashes. Shields are blunt weapons that can be used to block an enemy attack at the cost of PP, and Gunslashes are hybrid mixes between guns and swords, allowing for long range and short range interchangeability. [2]

I just hope it doesn't bomb. Because while I was originally getting it next week, I changed my plans and won't get it until Christmas time. I'd like to be able to find one then.

Wait, what? It pushed over 200,000 units in Japan. It's no Dragon Quest IX, but those are good numbers.

Whoops, sorry. I was being lazy. Basically it's an action rpg, that you can play with up to three other friends, and you can use your DS's touchscreen to communicate. That's all I have seen from gameplays on youtube.
