Phantasy Star 0 (ファンタシースターZERO) is an RPG developed by Sega CS3 and published by Sega for the Nintendo DS. It is the only Phantasy Star game on the DS, and is based on the mechanics of Phantasy Star Online. The game is considered as a prequel in the series and has online play both with strangers and with Friend Codes. The game's chat system is similar to PictoChat.
Like the first Phantasy Star Online game, it is limited to only level 100.

Story
Phantasy Star 0 takes place on an alternate Earth 200 years after the Great Blank, a massive war that has reduced the once-prosperous civilization to almost nothing. The sole surviving Humans have worked hard to exist peacefully and have built thriving Cities. The Humans that adventure past the outskirts of these Cities, called Hunters, explore the vast wilderness and hunt dangerous monsters to keep Cities safe.
There are three different Storylines depending on the player character's Race. That said, each storyline is interconnected and leads to a similar conclusion.
