Here we see a number of clips from the in-game animated sequences done by Gonzo. Notably, they've also created segments for the Lunar series. Most recently, they have been known as the studio behind Afro Samurai. Later on in the trailer, they mix in some more footage of the game itself.

This video can also be viewed on the official website located here. Discussion of this video has already started in our forums.

EDIT: If you are having problems viewing the movie, you can download it here.

According to a recent homepage update, Sega will be releasing Phantasy Star Zero to Japan on December 25th of this year.  That's only three months away! Compared with PSP, the announcement and ship dates for this title are quite close.

Unlike Phantasy Star Portable, there exists an English strategy guide for Phantasy Star Zero.  The BradyGames guide is shipping this week (a week prior to the game itself) and retails for $17.99. There are, of course, retailers offering it for less.

Usually, there is no more merchandising for Phantasy Star in the west beyond the games, so this book definitely deserves a mention.  Just as a reminder, we will have expanded information on the game ourselves in the near future. Until then, 144 full-color pages may have to sate the current desire for (organized) English reference material.

If you've went ahead and obtained the guide, please post your thoughts in the comments section below or in this forum thread.
