I got the japanese version of the game and lemme tell ya mateys, this game is AWESOME AND ADDICTIVE. Im playing as a beast hunter atm, made a cast ranger n got bored cuz theres no lockon function for firearms.
P.S: this game does require some knowledge of jap if u wanna play it

No need to twist my arm Andy.
I've been a Phantasy Star fan since the first (yes I had a sega master system) and the current game in my psp is Phantasy Star 4 (on the Genesis Collection).
I will learn Japanese for Phantasy Star.

I can't start the game. After I create new character demo starts over and brings me to first screen. It's impossible to start actual game. Any ideas? I tried to launch it on PSP Slim.
Alien @ Jul 11th 2008 12:04PM
Wow ... big demo :o 300mb . But it worths it :D Downloading it right away :D
Neuromancer @ Jul 11th 2008 12:48PM
I'll take a big pass on this one.
saito ps3 @ Jul 11th 2008 12:28PM
just finished playing it, and i got to say it is awsome! the fighting mechanics are really easy to pick up, i thought the controls were gonna be a bit wierd since i play ps2 version of it, but the controls were excellent, graphics are great, i really hope they make a english version of the game. us americans and people from europe have not had a game to look forward to on psp since final fantasy 7 crisis core and god of war. the japanese have had alot of great games thats been in thier region only. this game will be great, but please english? note to people who just start the game: just press o through all the text, there is no wrong thing to do

Sweet, sweet demo. The game has been ported almost flawlessly to the PSP, and the customization options are great. The only 'complaint' I have is that the camera pans too far away from the character on missions... it looks tiny, and you can't appreciate the nice character model you make. Apart from that, everything's nice.
Hope to hear from a western release soon!

Hey great! thanks for the heads up. Say arent the makers of this game the ones who made the first Radiant Mythology game? I wonder if there next game Radiant Mythology 2 will take a few cues from what they learned making Phantasy Start Portable.

I don't speak a lick of Japanese, and therefore that demo was impossible to figure out. I understand that you have to use the O key to accept, but it was still very difficult to figure out what to do and where to go. I never could get into combat.
Omen_20 @ Jul 11th 2008 8:01PM
Me neither. I felt like there was no where to go after creating my character. I did a lot of talking, then I had two options, go into that room and click on some stuff that pulled up conversations or go out and look at the place from space where I could pull up a menu that said NEW but wouldnt let me doing anything when I clicked through. Theres like nothing else to do, the Start menu doesnt get me anywhere either.
Where do we go for actually playing the game everybody?
c_judicator @ Jul 11th 2008 8:51PM
You have to navigate the start menu, and invite the two chars to your party. Just like in PSU. Once you have them in your party (you'll see their names and life bars above yours), you can actually do the mission that was once faded out.

I downloaded the demo, and the only thing I can say is; it has nice graphics. I don't read (or speak) Japanese, so I just had to guess at everything. I didn't even get to any combat, i just got to more menus. :\
So warning, unless you can read Japanese, don't bother with the demo.

There is one thing I dislike about this demo...
I can't really understand it because it's in Japanese. :o}
I understand "hai" (Yes), "iie" (No), and some other words defined through hiragana and some katakana, but I couldn't really put them together. I got a bit confused with the menu, but I think I have the hang of it now.
This demo is absolutely phenomenal and this game is a must-buy for me. And the most shocking thing is, I hated Phantasy Star Online and even Universe! This game is perfect on the PSP. Thanks again Andrew!!
CornBreadtm @ Jul 12th 2008 12:40AM
Wow this is like a full game instead of a demo since after your done story mode you can solo multiplayer. Plus you can go to the shops.
Shawn @ Jul 17th 2008 7:52AM
The learning curve for the Japanese required for not only Phantasy Star Portable, but for Phantasy Star Universe is not hard at all. The only thing you need to actually know is the menus. The weapon and item names are written in katakana, which with a trusty little chart available via Wikipedia is not hard to translate at all. Granted, it'll be a little different. For instance, the Japanese version of the Mugunruk (11* spear) is something like (broken into syllables) Mu Gu N Ru Ku. It's hard to take an educated guess there. Just apply yourself and in no time at all, you'll know the katakana like the back of your hand.
Mr.Resourceful @ Jul 25th 2008 12:59PM
remember that in japan most demos switch O for X so press O most of the time, hope that clarifies some tihngs.
BTW. Demo rocks, right now i'm level 18 beast ^_^
assante @ Aug 15th 2008 7:20AM
Guys, I downloaded this demo to my PSP, but when I want to start it on PSP- it says corrupted DATA . What am I doing wrong? I am new in this PSP , so please inform me what I have to do to play demos on my PSP. I have PSP slim 3.80
Ulicies @ Sep 12th 2008 11:16PM
You probably have to download it again, it probably just screwed up, as that has happened to me with some music I downloaded.
twistedbee @ Sep 13th 2008 2:38PM
Thanks in advance for the demo! I loved this game on XBOX360 but because I travel I was never home to play. Hoping for a US release soon!
