Yujin’s Phantasy Star Zero gashapon figures. Did you remember that this game comes out in the States next week? No? I don’t blame you; other than a community event Sega held at its San Francisco HQ last week, I’ve hardly seen press for the cooperative action RPG.

I know JC has an import copy of Phantasy Star Zero, and I plan to pick it up, too (players from different regions can play with each other) — maybe if you buy the game, you’ll run into one of us online.

BradyGames published a Phantasy Star Zero strategy guide for the U.S., and it lists codes to access unique items (spear/shield from Valkyrie Chronicles’ Selvaria, Puyo Puyo soul) from an in-game vending machine. Apparently, there are several items missing that were in the Japanese version, like Hatsune Miku’s Leek, the Warp Pipe bazooka, and Samus’ arm cannon. This doesn’t mean they aren’t in the game, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Sega cut them during the localization process.

You can also use a code to grab a Nintendo Power item, which I presume replaced the Dengeki item.

Preorder: Phantasy Star Zero ($33.99)

Phantasy Star III’s main theme, performed by SEGAROCK, the (semi?)-official Sega tribute band. Last week’s Virtual Console release of Phantasy Star inspired me to listen to some music from the series, but of course I had to complicate things by highlighting music from a game other than the one just released — and a cover version at that.

And now to complicate things even further: I wanted to embed the SEGAROCK version of Phantasy Star II’s “The Place of Death,” but I couldn’t find it, so here’s the original version, which is also pretty great. In fact, all the music from Phantasy Star II is amazing.

The same song from the Phantasy Star Generation 2 remake on PS2, which isn’t as good, but here it is anyway:
