Phantasy Star Zero

We had a chance to talk to long time Phantasy Star developer Satoshi Sakai, producer on Phantasy Star Zero, about the Nintendo DS title. Why was the choice made for the art style and what previous game in the series does it resemble? And perhaps most interestingly Sakai spoke of the possibility of returning the franchise to stationary consoles in time for the ten year anniversary of Phantasy Star Online next year.
