Now don't get me wrong I'm enjoying the game but the encounter rate is SO HIGH and the dungeon design is atrocious, with dead ends and endless teleporters and worthless chests (30 mesetas, antidotes: YAY) and the Blaster enemy is just plain malevolent. Otherwise, I'm invested in the characters, world and story and determined to play through until the end.

What did you NOT like about the game?

Took a looooong time as I tried my best to avoid using any outside help. I did end up using *a bit* (e.g. I thought I'd covered everywhere in Palma so I looked at a map to piece it all together... that's how I found out where to get the gas shield) but majority was covered by me, with badly drawn maps and my notes with all the info I got from NPCs, so I'm rather chuffed with myself :P.

I do need to completely some other RPGs properly but this is definitely the best 8-bit game I've played so far. There's a few obscure bits but aside from the soft ice on Dezoris, there was noticeable little 8-bit jank. Really felt like the game rewards you for properly listening to everyone and it was so satisfying to see all the notes on the different required items come together to see the dark castle appear over Baya Malay with the music change.

Visually the game was amazing, loved the sci-fi setting, felt really varied across the 3 different planets. What lacked in gameplay in battles (which, tbf, I find is just a general symptom of games in that era) was made up with general exploration I felt. Part of me wishes there was a modern remaster to flesh out the story because it would be cool to see characters like Alis and Odin have full character arcs but in the context of a late 80's game, I was really impressed by this.

Gonna get started on Phantasy Star 2 soon, plan is to go all the way to 4 (which I know is generally considered the best, so simultaneously excited and agonised that I still need to go through 2 and 3 to get there). My only complaint is there's not much to explore again in the game (the only item I missed was the magic key since I vibed through Baya Malay) but I suppose the assortment of fan art and writing will have to do for my post game indulging :P

Edit: okay, forgot to mention, I should admit I used a lot of save states (not too fussed about that, since saving was available everywhere in game so I was just saving a little time) and A LOT of speed up (will admit that was moreso cheating - goodness the encounter rate could be awful)

Instead of having ' Roboman ', I am installing some, Wren's Android siblings as ennemies.

Wren.489 is one of the ' Wren Type ' model, that I did put.

Wren.489 Stats

HP 489

ATK 288

DEF 540

SPD 255

XP 9999

MST 9999

I cannot give more than 9999 XP, many monsters.

For example, Gardians, SHOULD give, in my patch, 36000 XP each. BUT, as compensation, I give AS MUCH mesetas, as you have XP with many monsters.

That's why, Robomans, give 9999 Mst, or Guardians give 9999 Mst, instead of 1 meseta.

More money for more curative items. Moon Dews, Sol Dews and Star Dews will be avaliable, at some point of the game.

Moon Dew = Res Lv 255, ?

Sol Dew = Rever Lv 255, 65535 mst

Star Dew = Gires Lv 255, 65535 mst

Guardian

XP Value: 9690

I am giving names to some NPCs.

Rhy's Father Name, is Kain.I find that King really cold, so, I did give to him, the Japnese Translation, of the name ' Rhys '.

The KING is cold like Kain, and his son, Abel (Rhys), Is a Really Kind Gentlemen. Abel suits him better.

The Queen, you'll see her name, if you use the Escapeipe ... XD It is not anymore ' Queen nobody ', and ' Cold King '.

Abel is the friend of his loyal soildier ... for a Royal, it is uncommon, REALLY, to be friend with peasants.

I hope that I'll have the energy and the drive, to be able to change a lot of Scripts.

I listen to someone that did give to me, translated names.

King Kain, Prince Abel (Rhys), Miyu (Mieu), Rain (Nial), Ein (Ayn), are some of the translated names

One of Abel's Guards's nam,e is Rolf [...]

I am missing 4 monsters. Tentacle is in the lava field before the tower and refuses to pop for me. Horseman is somewhere on Dezo, after the white dragon cave. Still haven't found them yet. Elephant is on an island with Abion and Loar. This one also refuses to pop up.

If there are better place to hunt those 3, LMK please

Green dragon is another one I need but I have no idea where to find it. I'm told it's in a dungeon but which dungeon?

This time ... I couldn't see the damage numbers, into a combat. Too much numbers, I did so ... I still kept all my data and ... I'll add text. Techniques are Not magic techniques. Flaeli is magic, Foi is Physic.

The House of Laya or, The House of Orakio will be, without knowing it, demon worshippers. Some knows how tu use their Life Force, in order to influence the Physical World. Atoms of Oxygen will be transmuted, into 🔥 Foi. Techniques themselves, never been magical. If Phantasy Star did change route, I won't. Using hand sings, channeling the Energy of your Spirit, in order to use Oxygen, to transmuted it into 🔥 ⚡ 🌊, to influence Gravity (Gra).

That's " Naruto-like ", but, a Ninjutsu, is supernatural, most of the time, not a technique, Never. 😁

Also, the game will use a language that I will have to explain, in the game. Like using the term Ba'al, not associated with paganism, But, it's Original meaning: Master.

Bosses are "Ba'al", some human have too much power. Without being a god, Elon Musk, as an example, is A Powerful One: an Elohim. Power is indeed, not necessarily physical or supernatural ; money is an example, a source of power.

Ba'al and Elohim have their roots into paleo-hebrew, terms as old as the myths.

I keep also the really good idea of you: to change some names, to get some that are better translations, instead of interpretations ; the meaning of words themselves, not some felling-interpratation ; things are what they are (reality).

Hello all! I am trying to track down a copy of Phantasy Star for my SMS collection. If anyone knows where or is interested in selling it for a reasonable price. I have been dying to find this game. I’ve tried many different places local that and none of them have it. Though I think 200 for it is a steep price… though if anyone can help out would be appreciated! Cheers!

I'm not talking only about online, but because exist a translation of Phantasy star portable 2 infinity, I never played these game but I want to know if it is kinda like PSO ver. 1 and then PSO episode 1+2 plus, both are the same game, but the later includes more and more content, but I don't lose anything for no playing the OG

Is PSP2i like that? If I play this version I don't need context of PSP2 or something? With the story mode and stuff

But if you think there is a reason to play PSP2 OG before infinity I would like to know!
