Phantasy Star Nova demo coming next week

Well, that’s if you live in Japan – or can be bothered to sort out a Japanese PSN account. Available to download on the 12th of August, the Phantasy Star Nova demo will allow you and three other players to team up and take down one of the game’s giant bosses – although this will be ad-hoc rather than via online play.

There will be four playable classes n the demo – the traditional trio of Hunter, Ranger and Force (Swords! Guns! Magic!) and the new ‘Buster’ class – which is being touted as the ‘all-rounder’ of the group.

As usual, there’s phuck all word from Sega as to whether we’ll see this making its way West-ward. The full Japanese release on Vita will be on the 27th of November.

Check out some new Phantasy Star Nova screenshots courtesy of Famitsu. Looks nice – I’m actually pretty curious to see how Tri-Ace fare with this – I’ve always enjoyed the Star Ocean series…

I love Japanese games

I run the 'I Love Japanese Games' facebook page - unsurprisingly, I love Japanese Games, which is how I ended up contributing to Rice Digital. I love doujin games, but expect me to write about all aspects of the Japanese games industry - from JRPGs, to Visual Novels, shooters - anything that interests me, basically. I've been told to tell you that my 'views are not necessarily those held by Rice Digital or it's partners'.
