According to the boys at PSPFanboy, the Phantasy Star Portable official website was updated today with some decent information. The free demo, scheduled to release in Japan on July 14, is going to be a bit hefty. At a whopping 301 MB, it will provide players early access to both the Story Mode and online play. The demo will be available to download off of the Japanese PSN store, or at your local Japanese videogame vender.
Also, there is apparently some utterances of character profiles and downloadable content to be listed on the website soon. For those of us that can’t speak Japanese, checking out the website may be a bit of an issue. Don’t worry about that quite yet, though, because Sega hasn’t announced if the game is going to be localized.
There is still hope that the game will hop the pond. The reception of Phantasy Star titles hasn’t been that terrible in the states. Personally, my level of excitement is at critical mass. If Phantasy Star Portable hits stateside, I’ll be one of the first Americans to visit, presumably, one of the bulbous lobbies full of people tossing out emoticons every two seconds. Hopefully Sega is keeping the floating armchair ability for the lobbies. There’s nothing like scooting around people in circles while riding a pink chair.

that would take us to the dreamcast era
I know very little about this game. Does it have a subscription cost or something?
Looks fun, but monthy cost would make it a no go for me.
It's more of an offline version of PSU. There won't be any subscription fees.
If Sega actually just implement what made PSO into the PSU series, maybe PSU wouldn't suck so much.
Seriously...I want them to make a revamped PSO and lose the PSU nonsense. All they needed to do was make PSU like PSO, new weps, maybe new classes, more customization, new awesome soundtracks, new monsters, old PSO Ep I and II stages, and we'd be fine.
Mainman, thanx for the heads up.
Learn from Squeenix - port the older games to newer systems with a modicum of effort.
