Phantasy star 4

I Beat it and its pretty fun, cant beat the classics.

Play Phantasy Star II and Phantasy Star III.
These are classics, but the fourth was the best in the series.

Yeah, number four is definitely the best in the series. It's not a grind fest like II or a rushed product like III. A lot of game companies should take a hint about how to make a good game from Phantasy Star IV.

Yes, that's the one. It was a great idea, but Sega didn't give the dev team time to fully implement it. In III, one plays through three generations of a family, with each generation being different depending on which woman the main character of the previous generation marries.

The rushed factor comes in the third generations: all four are basically the same. They have different beginnings and endings, but almost everything between those are identical. You go through the same dungeons, fight the same battles, hunt down the same items. Some characters are even shared between the branches. There are even interviews and such from Sega folks commenting on how the game was rushed toward the end of development.

The second generation branches, in contrast, were completely different from each other. Different dungeons, characters items, and so on. The second generation is where the game really shines.

Yeah, III is the one that would benefit most from a remake. Strangely, when Sega did the PlayStation 2 remakes for the first two games, they were planning to skip III and go straight to IV. IV really didn't need a remake, but they were overlooking the one game that is ripe for remake potential.

Smiling throughout?

Including when ?

You sir, are a monster!

Haha, true, that was kinda funny.

What got me was afterwards... When I went back into Chaz' hometown and everyone was asking "Oh hi there Chaz, isn't Alys with you?"
