Finally can start IV

I’ve finally beaten every game in the classic series before end of millennium! It’s been a journey and a little sad it’s ending soon. I’m restarting IV soon on OG hardware. Can’t wait. For clarification I started IV previously on switch online. Got maybe a third of the way through. I want to use the combo techs now that I know about them as soon as I can.

New to this sub

Not sure why I only found this sub now, but despite my current profile picture, Phantasy Star games have always been my favorites! The original PS was the first RPG video game I played and one of the first video games I had in general. Blew my mind!

Finding this sub motivated me to dig up my old games! Sadly I lost the old map book I made for PS1 with my brother. We mapped every level of every dungeon on graph paper and marked all the traps, treasures, bosses, everything!

Which box art style do you prefer?

For me, while growing up with the US box art (in the UK), I mostly prefer the JP box art for the series.

The exception being for Phantasy Star 3. The US art just speaks to me more than the JP

Just finished PS1 a few weeks ago, and I figured I'd draw the idiots in their spaceship:)

Tried to capture a "5AM multi-hour bus trip but in space" kinda vibe lol. Also sorry for not drawing the cat. Animals are hard.

Phantasy star portable 1 is my introduction to this series and it’s lit.

A game where the gameplay is so good, I don’t even skip the underwhelming story. It holds up pretty well, I think, even now. I’m having more fun with this game than I did with some of the super popular action RPGs on ps4. I can’t believe the game had such mediocre ratings from the western journalists. I didn’t finish it, but personally I would give it a score between 8.5 and a 9. This is mostly due to the satisfying action rpg mechanics. It sits at a 64 from critics and 75 from users. Now I’m starting to realize why so many games and sequels didn’t receive a western localization anymore. This is a real solid game, what were the journos critics were thinking?

Phantasy Star 2 camera centering...

Is there a mod of PS2 that changes nothing except centering the camera properly on the player? Because having to walk two steps before the camera moves in order to orientate myself after a battle often means ending up in another battle. This is why I've never got very far with this game.

Any thoughts or advice?
