Probably if you didn't use the maps. I had to level of considerably if memory serves. That was like... ugh...30 years ago, though.ryu wrote:Phew. Just beat it (PSII). The final bosses were surprisingly easy.
Totally concur. Speaking as someone that shat his pants playing the first one in 1987 (and played it through many, many times) it was probably one of the games most influential to me. Never to be topped. I did look forward to II & III, and enjoyed them quite a bit. The $100 price tag of EotM (and the fact that I was in college w/ no genesis) meant I didn't play that for a few years... and didn't really develop any love for it.As a coherent game I prefer the first one. This one had some nice story twists though.

I find it funny how Amy's name was originally Anne in the JP version and Anna's name was originally Amia.ryu wrote:Was it? The game took me weeks to finish.Blinge wrote:Holy shit Ryu that was a quick turnaround.

Rolf, Rudo, Amy, Anna. Always sticked with the first two, and chose Anna because she seemed to be a(which is not true of course...).Spoiler

That's the team I used as well. If I played again I'd ditch Amy, though. Maybe pick up Kain. Most of Amy's time in my party was spent healing herself and doing no good to the other three.ryu wrote:Was it? The game took me weeks to finish.

Heh, such innocence. That's a combination of experience, increased ROM size, and the desire to have one big send off for the franchise.ryu wrote:PSIV is great. Seems like they must have increased the dev team by a tenfold at least.

I put in loads of hours into PSO and PSO2 (really... loads). Not sure if checking out PSO at this point is really worth it. When it came out, it was magik. DC & GC version both had great communities and were a lot of fun. It wasn't Phantasy Star but it was at least something. PSO2, shockingly enough, is quite a great successor. I wish I had the life where I could put in the time that it requires. I don't though, so don't bother.ryu wrote: I'll probably give PSIII a run much later, and then at least check out PSO on Dreamcast for the heck of it. Apparently there's still servers up, is anyone in the loop on this?

I remember reading that it was originally planned to be on Sega CD with dungeons similar to those in PS1. Too bad they ditched the PS1 style dungeons.ryu wrote:Just beat The End of the Millenium. Rushed it because I've been itching to replay Lufia II, but now I'm totally burned out on RPGs. Great characters and some awesome concepts in the setting, but I didn't like that the story went the ancient evil route near the end. In some ways it looks like the devs decided on another plot more than midway through development, with the thing behind Dark Falz wanting to reach Ryukros - only to have that not really matter a few minutes later.
I believe there's even an image of it somewhere at phantasy-star.net. Too bad the guys hit counter stopped working. Anyone should check that page out for the simple fact that it has had only one redesign ever I believe (and that was probably 20 years ago).BrianC wrote: I remember reading that it was originally planned to be on Sega CD with dungeons similar to those in PS1.

Dark Force's scheme to beat your team to Rykros was presumably an effort to stop them from aquiring the Rings. Of course that doesn't happen, and random encounters with the 魔物 horde is the only real sign of their presence (aside from the brief scene where the tower guardian KOs a couple of them). (It's not clear how the 魔物 manage to travel between planets or if they can just teleport.)In some ways it looks like the devs decided on another plot more than midway through development, with the thing behind Dark Falz wanting to reach Ryukros - only to have that not really matter a few minutes later.
I'm not expecting to get much gameplay and enjoyment value out of it, just want to give it a spin to satisfy my curiosity.Not sure if checking out PSO at this point is really worth it.
When I played it a few years ago it was a good game to just pickup whenever and just play a mission or two. If I hadn't switched to Linux I might still be playing today.PSO2, shockingly enough, is quite a great successor. I wish I had the life where I could put in the time that it requires. I don't though, so don't bother.
They originally introduced Rykors as a place of all knowledge. Then it was just a place where someone tells people about the Algol system and PD. I expected much more! Before the exposition scene on Ryukros after clearing the towers it appeared to me like PD aimed to gain control over spacetime, and that Dark Falz appears every thousand years in the Algol system because it's vaguely tracing the orbit of Ryukros.Dark Force's scheme to beat your team to Rykros was presumably an effort to stop them from aquiring the Rings.
I found it was something that had to be paid strict attention to, w/ the emergency quests and whatnot. Don't get me wrong, it was fun as balls, and there was tons of stuff "to do". But, I admittedly have an addictive personality. I can't just enjoy things - I have to immerse myself (maybe even make a website dedicated to itryu wrote:When I played it a few years ago it was a good game to just pickup whenever and just play a mission or two.

), so w/ games like this I get sucked in. A friend in japan kinda twisted my arm to join and we had a blast playing together, bitching about life on the phone as we played. Fun times. I simply don't have that time now. Doing better focusing on more fruitful side projects.Qantas airlines is pronounced "Cuntus" in Japanese."Dark Phallus". No idea where they were going with this thing if this is the intended reading lol
