Phantasy
Star Zero takes place on an alternate Earth 200 years after the
“Great Blank,” a massive war that has reduced the once-prosperous
civilization to almost nothing. The sole surviving Humans have worked
hard to exist peacefully and have built thriving Cities. The Humans
that adventure past the outskirts of these Cities, called Hunters,
explore the vast wilderness and hunt dangerous monsters to keep Cities
safe. Players will take up the role of Hunters and select from three
types of races and different classes, as well as gender for a total of
14 customizable character types. Each character type will play very
differently and give players access to a great
range of items, armor
and weapons. Featuring over 350 unique weapons, gamers will venture out
on “Earth”, combat dangerous monsters to gain experience and meet new
major characters. As players explore further, they will unravel the
mystery of the “Great Blank” and discover a dangerous new force that
must be stopped.
Featuring both wireless and full Wi-Fi multiplayer options, Phantasy
Star Zero takes advantage of the touch screen capabilities of Nintendo DS
with the new Visual Chat feature. Gamers can now design their own
Visual Chat commands that can be used in multiplayer modes. These
Visual Chat commands will be displayed as “text bubbles” above the
user’s character, enabling easy and fun communication when adventuring
with friends.
