Japanese Phantasy Star demo coming later this month

Phantasy Star Portable is a title that will be out in Japan at month's end. Gamers that want to try PSP out earlier than that can probably do so as it looks like a demo is on the way. Said to come two weeks earlier than the July 31 release date, a Japanese demo will allow players to tinker with the Story Mode and co-op ad hoc with Multi Mode. One last interesting bit involves the ability to transfer your character data from the demo to the full game, if you so choose to purchase the full game. There's still no word of a release outside Japan.

Create a Japanese account to download it. It isn't hard.

Maybe it will include a special item, like in the Papaton demo, seeing as you can save it.

Only thing I can think of is hoping for an US release. PSP seems to be doing nicely in Japan, but we've been pretty much left to starve over here...

If this comes to the U.S. I will love SEGA again. Then Again, I will definitely get the Japanese version 1st if I really like the demo.
