it was a 24Mb cart that launched for $100 so probably the majority of it.

they added quality of life changes to it

The mapper was nice.

apparently it was initially developed for the sega cd? do you think switching to genesis was the right move?

If it was 8 bucks for 1-4, it would be fine, but whoop-de-fucking-doo, you get a MINIMAP
That surely justifies paying 8 bucks for it, instead of emulating it

my parents refused to buy me a $100 game so i had to repeatedly rent it from the store

If they ever remake the game I hope they get the original artist back for it. They had a lot of fun with the characters even if the game isn't regarded that highly by most.

Attached: page109.jpg (509x756, 102K)

It is, on the Sega Genesis Classics.

I understand the translation was part of why 3 came off as a bit shallow. At least in the narrative. Like in the English version Lena was your ex fiance you dumped like an asshole for blue haired poon. So getting with her at the end seems less out of the blue.

Though this really wouldn't help the games other flaws. Good god that overworld theme is boring and everything is so empty and drab. 2 was colorful. Why wasn't 3 colorful.

PS IV blew my mind back then. Anime scenes, battles being fast but still good looking, soundtrack is really damn great. There were more than 5 different boss themes IIRC.

Get Sega Genesis classics, the other 3 games are on there as well as Beyond Oasis, and Shining Force.

It's weird they went that direction too since it has a lot of colorful concept art too. It was a rushed job with lots of good idea and concepts in it and it's a shame that it still hasn't been considered to be remade when it needs it the most.

i didn't think the encounter rate was that bad. one thing i miss about cartridge jrpgs was that there wasn't any loading for ever random battle like on playstation.

Like all the art books scan really paint a very different picture of the game and I would love to see that realized.

Yeah, we complain but compared to PS1 games and later they came and went pretty quickly.

Attached: gall-ps3-going-to-healer.jpg (576x276, 34K)

I have some cash leftover on the e-shop, is this worth picking up or should I just emulate it?

Encounter rate was a common problem back then, but battles are so fast, it doesn't tire you as much in this game.
Did you guys use the fusion spells? I was surprised to see that mechanic in an old game.

If 3 got the same remakes as 1 and 2 did with their generation versions honestly, it'd be a fantastic game and probably better than 2, although still not as good as 4.
>imagining the 4 remake in the same vein

Attached: ezgif-2390267215.gif (450x332, 904K)

depends on how important portability is to you

Give me your jacket cunt, right now. Thanks buddy.

I didn't think the remakes were all that good frankly. 1 was alrightish but they both felt kind of cheap. And 2's remake art was horrific,

sometimes the fustion spells wouldn't work despite having it on macro and meeting the TP/SP requirements.

Oh yeah, some of the earlier ones wreck shit, like Foi/Wat/Tsu, and you can set up auto battle macros in game to streamline fights and have fusions ready to go.

>And 2's remake art was horrific
those ears, man

Hey pal. Oh, where'd you get all this Dark Magic? There's like two fucking wizards on the entire planet. We killed one and the others over there shooting firebolts out of his eyes...

Not even just that. Nei went from cool sci fi body to suit to..some weird bib.

Yeah, but ps encounter rates in particular were some real cancer when you were just trying to get places. You notice it more when trying to run through places for gear that are higher than you, and running away from battles gets you fucked half the time.

It's order dependent no? It works most of the time if you set you macro actions in order of slowest to fastest members.

I thought the art was fine honestly. Sure, it doesn't look as good as it could do, but when all it has to do is be an improvement over how 2 looked it's not very difficult. Battles being more like 4 art wise is a big improvement honestly, for such a little thing all the games before 4 really feel worse because you don't see your characters most of the time in a fight

Attached: download.jpg (1280x720, 93K)

I'd argue a severe lack of character customization as well, I replayed it only a few years back without the nostalgia goggles and was kind of disappointed at how little choice there is in how you can build your party. Other games made around the same time were FAR ahead in that respect.

I hate how everytime there’s an old jrpg remake they always use that ugly as fuck, mobile looking art. They always look the same.

>I thought the art was fine honestly

Even in your own example that shit is hideous. Everything is flat and boring. And the animations are actually worse than the genesis version.

remember the first time playing this thinking the manga panels were a one time gimmick

fucking coolest shit ever in a pre gen 5 game
also reminder PS5 never ever

>I'd argue a severe lack of character customization as well,

Welcome to console JRPGs.

as apposed to PC JRPGs? I dont remember any porn games having deep character building

Raise your hand if you fucking hate how blind Chaz is.

Uhh, I dunno user. None of the first 4 phantasy star games had any character customization whatsoever, they were never designed to have that, you got party members that were written and designed, it's not like you could recruit custom created npcs for your party or some shit. There was no leveling system or upgrade paths.
Sure you could see it as a flaw, but it's a bit unfair to include things as flaws that they didn't intend to do just because some other games done it, it simply wasn't that kind of rpg.

It's colourful and vibrant, what are you on about? It looks 1000x better than the genesis version. And lol, the genesis version definitely did not have better animations, animations were garbage right up till ps4 in all the games frankly.

Hell no brother. PSO and whatnot were enjoyable, but it's a travesty that's what the series and universe has devolved into compared to continuing on in the same vein as ps4

It looks like someone left a colorform book out in the sun.

I was referring more in terms of gear, you literally just equip the best stat stick and that's it.

You need to get yourself some Kamidori Alchemy Meister.

>offline
heh

>waaaaaah its too hard

PS IV was designed with each character representing a class and sticking to it, like most JRPGs of the time. Customization was not common back then, but yeah it did exist.
I don't see a problem when a game sticks to that. The core team of Chaz/Rika/Wren/Rune are all good at what each of them do in-battle.

Underrated bait

That's not hard, that's just not fun. Hard is overcoming a tough obstacle and feeling satisfied in victory, but Phantasy Star 2 doesn't have that payoff because it's so dull, and what little dripfeeds of notable story there is gets sandwiched by bad design.

There are three (3) bosses in the game and two are fought one after another. You can equip two shields on everyone and use equipment for infinite healing so you will never die to random encounters and never run out of resources. It is not difficult, it is just a chore to play through.

But what about Rune?

I wish I'd played PS2. I've always heard that Nei's death hit a lot of people harder than any other.
The game is such a grind though. I could play through it now, but I'd have to use some 4x XP patch or something.

I've got the PS2 Phantasy Star Collection on my PS3, and just played 1-3. The collection has "easy" and "very easy" modes, which increases the money and experience you get from fights, as well as an option to boost walk speed. The game was only released in Japan, but it's got both Japanese and English versions of all games. Pretty much the optimal way to play through the games today.

>This week I beat Phantasy Star 1 ( after playing it like 20 years ago ) , Phantasy Star Gen 1 and PS 4 the first time in this week too.

>Playing pic related because I read that Alis appears.

>Liking the game even when is a grindfest and the menus are similar to Final Fantasy 1, at least the town them is nice.

Still I see why Sega didn't want to put this game in the west.

I don't think the game gear had a huge presence at the time

I'll never get how they messed up this badly with PSII's remake, even PSI`s remake art is more acceptable.
As much as I dislike the direction the went in after Tony became the main artist, I think Shining Tears is alright and agree that Ryuuna is 100% waifu material , I want to buy one of her figs one day.

The Tears X Wind anime was the best kind of awful.

Anyone play refrain? It looks awful but maybe hilariously so.

I mean an M2 treatment

Back than as a kid i loved how in PS2 every weapon had a unique effect, like different guns shooting differently or a different swords\slicers leaving unique trace effect, also monsters having animated even their alternative effects

>Tears X Wind anime
Oh man I almost forgot, I tried watching it as it came out but ended up dropping it pretty quickly. Same with the Shining Hearts anime, but maybe it's time to revisit them just for fun.
I've also played some of Refrain and even though I bought it to support the series in the west again, gameplay wise it plays like a clunky Tales of game. I want to get back to it though since at best people say it's a nice time waster.

If I can't get a remake, then this is literally the second best option I'll take.

Remakes are shit. Why would anyone want to have the same game but worse? For the sake of prettier graphics? That's dumb. Better to just get the game out there.

Together with lonely kittens and that melancholic music in the laconia mines, arrival to Dezoris wasn't very uplifting.
Well, mines, everything on Dezo was melancholic
I forgot why were ancient weapons called by the Nei's name?

It goes full retard. But yeah, I almost bought refrand on the golden week sale. Just ended up..not.

I would personally want a remake since there's lots of ideas they weren't able to properly expand due to limitations at the time. It's also nice to see characters built upon and get more fleshed out explanations on things instead of it just being that way because it is, though I get where you're coming from.

I can't really think of a lot of stuff that needs extra explanation. I suppose they could give more time to focus on the extend cast but honestly I think that even with their limited focus they all still had very strong character and personality. PSIV may be a short game compared to a lot of JRPGS but it's hardly without meat. It just skips a lot of bullshit. It's succinct.

A remake might look pretty but it would just be a DLC vehicle.

>That quality
>"I'll use both."
Sure looks like it. It'll probably go on a good sale again in the future though so you could always get it another time if you ever feel up to it.

Characters having actual character instead of just their introduction line would be nice.

PS2 characters had personal VNs to flesh them out, not sure how would one even jam them into the main game considering that they happen before main plot.

>T didn't use the talk command

They had plenty of character. They just didn't beat you over the head with obnoxious personality quirks. They have actual character, a remake would just devolve them to Persona esque stock jocks who repeat a premise 50 times a conversation. You can say more with less.

We meet Han as he's fussing back and forth and gets taken for a ride but still sticks it through

Gryz works towards his revenge but ultimately feels like his family is more important

Raja is a constant jokester who takes in thing stride

Kyra is brash and tends to rush head long into things while others around her fret.

That's character. Not 30 extra hours of HAHAHHAHAH trope.

Depends on where you live. Its crazy but in big cities commodities cost more than an hour down the road.

The manual only explained triblast and said to find the rest on your own! Don't you pull that jive!

Alys has the weirdest sleeping problems.

Yeah. So do that.

I liked that about PS2 since it did give more context and interesting tidbits about Algo on top of more info on party members. I think I'd be satisfied with something like that for PS4 since the info about Alys and Rune's connected past together as well Zio having been potentially a rejected candidate for Lutz seem perfect for how the text adventures were.

I like it better not knowing. Not every mystery needs an answer and no amount of official word is gonna come close to what you can fill in your heads.

Don't forget dating segments that enable a stat boost or special attack!

Git gud.

Almost all of Phantasy Star game share this feature which is great, I mean it was very limited for customisation but these were simpler times.
>Daggers can be equipped one in each hand for two attacks, compared to swords which are are two handed only
>Slicers/Boomerangs attack all targets, and you can also equip on in each hand
>Guns aren't stricltly defined, but some act as single target high damage, some multitarget lighter damage
>Staves/Wands have terrible damage but can be used as items for special effects (HP restore, dispel, sleep, etc)
>Even fucking shields can be equipped in each hand

Also PS4 is literally the only game which has decent instant-kill abilities, almost every character gets a "Skill" which is single use and only recharged when you rest at an inn. However everytime they level up they gain +1 use out of every skill, so you can feel free cut lose on trash mobs without blowing through your TP (MP) when in dungeons.

Wtf? How did i miss all of that?
Is that in the original or just the remake?

There is no remake. You're just dumb.

I was like 7 years old when i first played it...

Okay? You still chose to talk as if you knew what you were on about now. Not knowing is fine but shut up. "Better to be thought a fool than open your mouth and prove you are"

When's Phantasy Star 5?

I suppose so, but to each their own.

1997 hasn't been "new" in a long time, gramps.

PSIV always struck me as something special because there's really not a single unlikable party member in it. Not one. None that I can really think of anyway. Even Raja wasn't really that annoying and was more lovable than grating.

When I was younger I used to think Hahn was a bit lame. Until we found out he had a hot fiance and seeing him show up at the end for no reason other than just because? Well I'd call that manning up.

Who are you quoting?

That was Lincoln.

Plus some of his late game skills were really good. He learned an instant death move at some point as I recall. He really buckled down and became a badass.

To be honest, if 3 was remade (and not just a shitty cheap cash-in remake) it could stand to be ok if the ENTIRE GAME was overhauled.

The main problem is the fucking game was never finished, they original wanted to make it for the Sega CD with advanced combat graphics/animations. Problem is they just couldn't make it work and had to rush to make it work with the Mega Drive instead, hence all the shitty and straight up weird battle animations.

They'd need to strip out that godawful combat system though, that fucking combat menu never made any damn sense and I never used that weird technique distribution system (I think I only ever played until the second generation).

I still can’t believe they straight up left the placeholders enemies like that in the game.

Yeah, I was not a 'reader' when I was a kid as well.

IIRC it was one of if not the first example of party member permadeath in the industry.

It came out in 1989 right? I feel like that's a pretty bold claim but I can't really be assed to think up an earlier example, at least in regards to console JRPGs. Im sure they didn't make it a habit of killing the cute heroine on the box though.

I wonder what the people will see in the final days?

What the fuck was evil Nei’s problem?

The realest human bean.

She was an abomination of science that was deemed a failure and tossed away by the very people who brought her into this world in the first place

8 bucks is literally nothing for you, you retarded amerilard, just don't eat your god damn burgers twice and you can buy yourself a good game
people in shithole countries have to pay 4 to 5 times as much relative to what they earn

Are you sure you aren't making that up?
Iirc 4 was the one being made for CD originally and having first person dungeons
3 was just developed by some unrelated team unbeknownst to main PS devs because of faggot higher ups

You fail to understand. I can buy much better games, or much more games, for $8.

Cool. I hope you feel better about yourself for paying for shit from 30 years ago when anyone with a brain can download up a ROM. If I was gonna spend $8 on it I might as well spend the $15 and get the actual cartridge.

How come Motavians weren't a playable race in PSO. I know it's not really set in Algo but they still had numans running around so that ain't an excuse. PSU added beasts I guess but where's the hairy ewok birds who hit shit hammers.

Classic SMT was fun, especially in SMT II when if you buffed too much it fucking overflowed and your stats went to absolute garbage. I swear it only took like three or four Tarukajas for that shit to occur, too.

>ACTUAL QUOTE FROM THE PHANTASY STAR COMPENDIUM
>Seed, the supervising computer at the Bioplant, foresaw the harsh conditions Motabia and the people living there would undergo in the generations to come. Seed's assignment in Algol's environment maintenance system was to balance the ecosystem with the birth of a lifeform suited to the environmental changes. To this end, Seed began study on how to preserve the human race by improving it. Data on the "Neitype", studied for a similar purpose before the Great Collapse, became the basis for this lifeform. Fal was born under these circumstances, but not just as a new type of human. She was also expected to mix her bloodline with that of a human to perpetuate the new race of humans. The term Numan, then, means to say "the lifeform that will give birth to and become the matriarch of a new human race."

Because this series doesn't have lootboxes and jannies and mods do it for free, so they can't have that

it's not tho?
