Here’s a cool looking trailer for Phantasy Star Portable, the game is building up nicely for its July 31st Japanese release, we will see if it can make waves like Monster Hunter then. Sega also mentioned in a flyer to retailers that there will be a UMD demo to give away to gamers just before the launch. Let’s hope it will be available for download as well, I’m still on the fence for this.

To celebrate the game’s release, Sega plans to release a special quest for Phantasy Star Universe: Ambition of the Illuminus (PS2/PC), the game which Phantasy Star Portable is based on. There appear to be some kind of interaction between the two games as well. Other features include new original story, multiple endings, new characters, more than 1,500 new items, new bosses, illustration gallery and downloadable missions.
