By now the recently released Phantasy Star Nova “Battle Demo” has spent a decent amount of time in the Vita’s of curious players. Thus far much of the promotion for Phantasy Star Nova has come in the form of cinematic trailers and screenshots, so the glimpse that the demo offers into tri-Ace’s progress is important. This NeoGAF thread contains some discussion of the demo, along with some in-game screenshots and a nice 18-minute video recorded by GAFfer twentytwo22. The video walks through a variety of the in-game menus and showcases a generous amount of gameplay. It also features voiced commentary to add context and comparison to the gameplay. Several users seem to have found the demo enjoyable (though it is noted that it’s quite easy to get KO’d!) but framerate issues seem to be a recurring grievance.
Sega is taking feedback on the demo through this survey, but it may be difficult to navigate the survey for those who aren’t already familiar with Japanese. Still, it’s important outreach from Sega and hopefully the feedback serves the developers well.
Hit the break to watch the video!
