There are some details about the game out now, I'll add more information later if more detailed reports show up. It's confirmed that the game has a single player story mode, as well as ad-hoc multiplayer support. So this is NOT an online game. Furthermore it says that they're trying to offer a new sort of Phantasy Star experience based on tri-Ace's unique style. So hopefully this means even though it follows the PSP "formula" on the surface, it'll play like a tri-Ace game?

There's also mention that the game will take advantage of tri-Ace's speciality in soft lighting. I think this means it's going to make good use of tri-Ace's engine which is pushing Physically Based Rendering? I dunno. The core development staff for the game consists of over 70 people, while the total production involves over 200 people. Pretty large scale project. tri-Ace lives!

A side note more people are working on this than Titan fall. This is no small undertaking. If this is what they have in store for the US then PSO2 can be a bad memory

Sega announced Phantasy Star Nova for Vita at Sony's Tokyo Game Show press conference, developed by Tri-Ace. It's set in the same world as Phantasy Star Online 2, but can be played both offline or online ad-hoc, with up to four players. It's due to be released in 2014.

Sega also revealed sales of PSO2 are now up to 650,000, with 500,000 of those coming from downloads. The MMO reached 500,000 sales in the summer.

People will wake up to some good new tommrow. :)

I'm always amazed that they have the time to make a vita version, an android version, have updates every other week, fuck shit up, fix it, announce another version, for japan a month later, and yet they can't be bothered to make an English version. Hm....
