Phantasy Star Zero screens show off janky typeface.

If you’re unsure what I’m complaining about with these screenshots, it’s the font that squishes W’s and M’s, with lowercase m’s looking more like n’s with a bloated stem. It’s a minor complaint, but presumably an avoidable one if the studio modifies the fontset or the game to better display these letters (with character display limitations kept in mind, of course).

Other DS games with this problem: Retro Game Challenge (in the magazines and manuals), Suikoden Tierkreis, The Dark Spire, and Avalon Code.

You can see more English screenshots of the game, which I’m still very interested in buying, in this set.
