March Retro Community Playthrough - Phantasy Star

[techwizard]

finished Baya Malay tower, onto Lassic's Castle...first time i've had to look up maps, i'm not sure if i took a wrong turn or what but i somehow managed to get back to the first floor and leave the building when i thought i was making progress.

[techwizard]

beat it! wooo!

loved this game, it wasn't anywhere on my radar as one i was interested in playing but i'm so happy i did. i have Phantasy Star Online (Ver. 2) for Dreamcast, makes me want to play other games in the series.

If I had a nickel...

Glad you enjoyed it, Tech! Hope you get to try some of the Genesis games. I HIGHLY recommend PSII.

Sega Genesis Collection on 360/PS3 should net you most if not all of them, I think.

seems most of the participants reached the ending...nice! will catch up in maybe 5 hours of gaming. I am looking forward to check out my PS4 copy for Genesis, too. Maybe the PStar 2 will be played before... But in April it is first "Stick of Truth/ 360" time in my game room.

@ericeskapade - Keep it up! If you're going to play some Genesis games, I'd go with Phantasy Star II first, as it's a chronological sequel.   

@ All - It's possible to kill the Sacubus when you take a nap at the Governor's Mansion when you first get to Motavia. It could've been a nice achievement, but I forgot to mention it at the start. I've never done it and I think it would take 10-20 hours of grinding.

i had considered making that an achievement but i wasn't sure if it was possible! that's really cool. in the end i didn't feel like this was the sort of game that really needed achievements, just beating it was enough.

I'm boned, beat the guy in the palace and no magic for fly no transfers left and I saved after I got out ... Booo

I've done this before. It is a letdown, as there is no reward and it doesn't change the story at all. Wining or losing gets you to the same place.

feed Myau the nuts again, he'll fly you back down...i really hope you see this before giving up and going back to a previous save.

Mayu is dead. I my last other save was before I got the Armor and shield, so I have about 6 hours to get to the end, so I guess I will try and beat it before the 1st.

oh wow, that really sucks man. i'd suggest next time saving at a point where you know you have enough magic/items to completely escape from the dungeon, and then don't save again until you're safely back in a town on the ground.

[singlebanana]

Yeah, these old games are brutal. I ran about 4 different save accounts up near the end.

[techwizard]

oh right i forgot to mention that when i beat the game everyone was at level 27, and that felt like the appropriate level. the difficulty wasn't too high or too low.
