Short, furry, and have beaks? Are you blind dude? They're clearly some kind of Rodent people

That's a rat nose with buck teeth sticking out underneath

Phantasy Star Online or bust thug. Thanks for the vid

My brother still plays PSO! Like daily. Sometimes I can play. Never die!

It's a really close tie between 2 and 3 for me, but Phantasy Star 2 just because of Nei. Nei is my favorite character.

.... it is weird

That always bugged me since Nei died, why couldn't we just recline her again like we always done when she died.

There’s a few theories. One is that nei and nei first were symbiotic so one can’t survive without the other. Another theory is that the clone lab realizes she’s not human and won’t clone her after the truth has been exposed

@@GTV-Japan I've always liked the 1st theory the most but found the 2nd to hold a lot of water as well. I know fans have been asking that question for years.

@@buckroger6456 yeah I guess there is no real answer and it’s left up to each fan to decide. But in the remake she can come back and fight to the end and be part of the ending!

Awesome! I used to call them too and they had one guy who know PS1 inside out and if he was busy Sega actually called you back!

All dope games…. 👌🏿

Same here. The way they hid that last door was kinda bullshit frankly, from a gameplay perspective they should have at least dropped a clue about it, then at least the player would know to look for it.

The last door was murder

$70 bucks for Phantasy Star at Toys R US

That is true!

shir had to steal it from...someplace in paseo town...how do i even remember this 30 years later

It’s the central tower in the capital. It’s a random chance but it normally takes place within 20 attempts.

Me too the plan was to have cutscenes on Sega CD. Would have been an awesome movie

With all the steam Final Fantasy versions you’d think we’d get at least an updated phantasy star at some point

Thanks! PS would give FF a run for it's money if done right for today's consoles! Sega I feel did do that back then with this....

Even if they weren’t great remakes it would keep the series relevant and running.

But the PS Vita isn’t sold outside Japan anymore right? If that’s the case, no chance. I wish there was something even a modern reset. Make it anything and just call it Phantasy Star.

Is there any prequel for Phantasy Star ? Any form will be great. Comic or fan made novel or look alike :D

Yea and I still get comments from people who just learned that

Lots of people have said they love 2 the most! It was really good. The music was my fav part of the game

MadFugu Pretty bad ass, huh?

Strange as it may seem, I ended up growig bored with PS 2's soundtrack. PS 3, however... The title theme is my 2d favorite video game music of all time. The overworld map sounds incredible as well. Overall, PS3 has the best soundrack in my ear's opinion.

MadFugu oh yea. I love that opening too

3 was my favorite. Then 1 followed by 2 then 4

Thanks. I hope you finish someday

If they can do Shenmue 1-2 anything is possible!!

Sega’s failure to make use of so many of their established IPs is definitely one of the biggest ‘WTF?’s hanging over the Saturn’s failure.

There was an error in the translation ;) in the original in Japanese, PS3 happens 1000 years after PS2

Yea. Which makes no sense because somehow the oral Ian war happened just after take off if that’s true. Which it aint

@@GTV-Japan no that would be perfect sense, maybe the Layans rioted a couple of months or years after the departure because polítical or social diferences and that took to almost the destruction of the station by the war and the ensuing battle with Darkfalz, the destruction of all the stations could had taked a very long period until the last two remaining ships were attacked, and thats why Rhys onwards didn't know about the true nature of their world. Is stated that Orakio is the ancestor of Rhys but is not stated the time span between them, so 1000 years isn't that extrange to think.

Thanks for watching! I feel the same PS4 was just that great !

A nice feature

I loved Sword of Vermillion too! Thanks for watching

Was a huge fan on Sword of Vermilion, beating it a number of times. Wish they would revive both series.

Thanks for sharing your memories 💫

Thanks I’m glad you liked it

Once I get the English version of Cosmic Fantasy 3 out, sure!!

Please for both

Phantasy Star 5...I'd go nuts lol

Yes!!!!! If only

That would be lovely but can't. The profound darkness was defeated and Dark Falz with it. Dark Falz was merely a puppet or a shared being but was still a part of the greater whole.

I respect that! Those things are hard

And now you don't need to do those! PSO2 global is lit

How’s business after Chuck?

Thanks for watching! I feel the same as you

Gaijillionaire do you know any way of getting ps1 or 4 on iPhone?

PS4 is coming soon to Sega Forever!

Now that would be cool!!

That would be good.

I know. It’s so sad there will never be another one.but good point that 4 still holds up!! 💫

No problem! More ps on the way too 💫

I’m finding many people love 2 the most! Yea I’m very sad ps5 will never be

I feel you. Honestly I would love an anime about the classic ones. Unfortunately they only invest on the Online 2, which is very bland and boring to me. Imagine if a cel shading anime adaptation existed. A man can dream...

Saddest part for me is that if it was made, I'm sure it would be "modernized" to the point of being unrecognizable.

That’s very possible

@@wyatt8740 This. I guess that Jojo was one of the last adaptations that kept loyal to it's style, if not the last. Highly doubt SEGA would give it so much love and attention.

I’m glad you liked it! I had the idea planned for a while. But I’m surprised no one else did it so I’m glad it’s all there for everyone. I grew up with all 4 games and I hope my kids will be able to play them with me someday. A lot of people have left comments about their dad, uncle or brother so I’m happy you can relive some of that now. Cheers!

Awesome! Thanks for sharing

I think rpgs are a great way for parents and kids to play together. My kids will someday learn to read from rpgs for sure. Ps generation 1 and 2 are in English made by fans but that cancellation of ps4 was such a gut punch I’m still not over it

That’s a common complaint! Thanks for watching 💫💫

I loved it and to borrow a line from Depeche Mode, they got the balance right

Great story!! Don’t let go of your copies of ya can

thanks!

Tiem!

Awesome send a link I want to hear it

@@GTV-Japan Here is the latest one we worked on - it's the music from the towers in the game. One of my all time PS favorite tunes!! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aJqcnLVi2t-Rm2Q.html oh and here's some classic PSII music: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o99niremza-pdWQ.html

Yeah. My daily prayer! Thanks for watching 💫

Great! It is silly though ahah thanks for watching

One can only dream 💫

Thanks! I wish they were connected more than just in name. I wish they’d just do PS 5! Who says just a theory? I’m not familiar with that phrase

MatPat, aka "Game Theory"... it's his video end phrase. O.o that's, kind of impressive if you didn't know about him. But, yeah...i'd love to see a return to the original series and Algo...but it's pretty clear Sega/Sonic Team/PS Team(???) will stay only to the Online series...and that in itself is a gut punch because PSO2 is a damn fine game. *sigh*

Oh sorry. Never heard of it! Actually I don’t interact with many other channels. But I’ve opened up more recently

Yea I think it’s a shame we won’t see Algol again and soon enough the staff that made 1-4 will be retired and gone too

As a PSO player, I firmly believe they ARE connected in more than the name. It definitively is the same universe, but they also connect in lore. The story of PSO is about a very technologically advanced civilization that went into space exploration in search for an habitable planet after their home worlds (let me make an emphasis on that s) approached their destruction. They finally found a seemingly beautiful planet that they named Ragol. They never mention what are these home worlds they come from, but I believe they were the Algol system, considering the very similar way they named the newfound world. In a way, the PSO is the sequel of the original PS games, at least in lore. Dark Falz is also the final boss of Phantasy Star Online Episode I. Spoilers, yeah, but they discover that Ragol hid a terrible secret. Deep beneath its surface, there was this gigantic spaceship were an unknown ancient civilization sealed away a cosmic terror, destroyer of worlds, known as Dark Falz (interesting how the mistranslated name stuck up as a cool fantasy-like name). It's also discovered that Dark Falz is a bodyless conscience and it seeks to posses the best possible creature to take a temporary physical form. It indeed took over the body of a hero which transformed into an abomination, which you have to fight against. There are more references there. There are also numans/newmans with the pointy ears and everything.

Thanks for watching 💫

Thanks! No need to spoil things because I know not everyone has played these.

Well you still have 9 more, typically. Thanks for liking it so much!

Didn’t know that!

Hey great thanks! I loooove the original PS series. I made a video on ps2 and 3 so go check it when you have time. Thanks for watching 💫

You’re a man of culture!

Do you think that they managed to do what they needed to do? (i don't want to give spoilers for other people that may have not played or ended the game, but you understand me.)

Yeah. Very underrated!

More people are saying they love 2 more than anything else

I’m glad you liked this video. Lots of other people are saying the same thing.

I would love a turn based phantasy star 5. I have been waiting so many years.

Great! Ive seen patches like that which is how the game should be anyway! I like the FM sound, but grown guys up without it, sounds strange now, but it is really really good! Thanks for watching

@@GTV-Japan The percussion sounds a little flat, the "snare" feels a little grating after awhile. Fortunately on a modern system you can EQ it to be a little quieter and … that makes all the difference actually.

Thanks for a great comment! I do want a 5 just so I can play it but 4 wrapped up everything nicely so at least it was a great way to say goodbye. You can tell that team LOVED their creation. There are some untranslated books still out there too that fill the story even more especially the space between part 1 and 2 with even more detail. Thanks for watching !!

Thanks for watching! 💫

Keith Thomas get complete collection for ps2/ps3. There’s language music and difficulty options the others won’t have. Plus hidden games too

Glad you liked it and I know of no bigger RPG fan than you!

Me too! I play 4 more than 1 though as the pace is faster and its easier to get back into if I get too busy to play and forget where I was. I play them now in the PlayStation 2 collection, they have “easy” setting so you can level up fast and not have to grind, just play. Thanks for watching!

Give 3 a chance, its not toooooo bad!

ohh yeah, I'll make sure to mention that someday

Thank you!! The last commenter said he hated it! But can you believe ps1 actually half way had a commercial??! I swear I remember another that was for Sega “game of the month” but can’t find a copy of it. So maybe I’m just imagining things. Thanks for watching! :)

Thanks! Hope I didn't spoil anything if you didn't finish them all yet

Gajillionaire I'm actually about in the middle of playing through Phantasy Star II for the first time ever lol. But I've already had most of it spoiled by reading random things about it through the years. But it's such a good game that even spoilers don't spoil it. 😊 Great video to close out the year man. Cheers!

yea thats what I thought, but still I don't like spoiling for others. I hope you get thru it soon and onto 3 and 4

You're welcome!

It’s ok. I did too. We all did. And shed a tear at the fact that the series was over too

😭 I'm not crying, you're crying.

It’s just rain ☔️

It’s mine too. Thanks for watching 💫

I know. So many of us would love that. Let’s keep hoping 💫

Yea me too, and I made it! Thanks for watching all the way to the end!

um no final fantasy and dragon quest are light years a series better then phantasy star

@@roseforyoubabe well you are entitled to your opinion, i did very much enjoy the first dragon quest on the nes, but i couldnt get into final fantasy. All the way around phantasy star is an awesome game, and i liked it much better than final fantasy.

I’m glad you liked it! I think we agree on every point you said here. Alys dying was like ohh noooooooo! It can’t be! By the time I played FFVII aeris death didn’t even phase me! I like the us music better too. Probably because I heard it all my life, even though the FM sound was top quality. It’s funny because I starting doing videos of this type to release on the 30th anniversary and I thought at least one big channel would too but they just know about it or care to make it I guess!

Thanks! I love all the music but especially PS4 and made sure my fav tracks went in

Thanks glad you enjoyed it! Almost everyone who comment here said the same thing. I guess PS2 > FF1!

And I got 51 other videos so check out some and comment on the ones you like

I wonder how far you could go legally with the game and make it Phantasy Star without Sega shutting it down

Gaijillionaire I’d love to see the sale of IP’s... I mean, If a software company doesn’t have plans of continuing the production of a game... why not sell it to someone who will, or at least license it.

@@PabstOban they kinda did that with Streets of rage 4

I’m all for that! Even just port Nova!

Jeff Thurman pso2 has a story but everyone says it’s crap. Asked my weeb cousin about the anime he said don’t watch it it sucks

@@uhhh_adam I can confirm, even for one who stopped watching cartoon well before middle school, the pso2 story is terrible.

Fuck that console with horrible controller.

@@GTV-Japan If that game would be a reboot of PSO episode 1&2 (4 would be a nice addition), I would pick it up in a heart beat, even though I would never get to use my lv 112 ranger from the gamecube version.

Thanks! I didn’t plan it out but it’s a nice feature. I always try to make the videos end in zero where I can. Thanks for watching 💫

Thanks! I hope all the way to the end you won’t be disappointed 💫

I’m glad you liked it! I did a couple of other 30th anniversary videos you might like so go check em out!

Gaijillionaire oh I'm gonna take a look at ALL of your videos! Glad I just discovered you! (Shame that I didn't sooner...)

Philippe oh that’s fine. Being undiscovered is part of being new on KZfaq. I don’t know if anyone has ever seen all 50 videos but go for it!!! I try to do 90/10 games/ others stuff and then mix between japan and USA so there’s a lot of variety. If you can share with anybody who’d like it that’d be cool and that’s how I’ll be able to reach more on KZfaq and put more videos out overtime. Comment on anything you like. I always read everything!! Cheers 🍻

Is at the same level of Mass effect and Dune to me. Just make some chronology arrangements wich connect the older games with the modern ones and thats it.

Thank you GameHorder! I appreciate the endorsement!!

Cool! Thanks for sharing your opinion!

Thanks Jasmo! I love IV it was great. It was the finale and it was in many ways the genesis/Mega Drive finale. I do fully intend to do separate videos for 2 3 and 4 in the future and 2 is coming in a few weeks

@@GTV-Japan When?! That was about a month ago.. I am looking forward to the next video .. Bwahaha I'm kidding.. Take all the time you need .. Your videos will be divine based off what I have seen.....

I’m still writing it but it will be ready by or before March 21!

Thanks ! Pass it on if you can!

I know what you mean. I have a soft spot for 3. First there weren’t many RPGs anyway then so we played it! If it had any other title I don’t think it’d get much criticism. Best I can say is that the center of Phantasy Star has always been about the Palmanian people so when the ships evacuated which was the end of 2, it would make sense to see what became of their race.

Awesome! For me I could not afford it then but got it for 25 in 1996. Glad yo see you truly earned it! Thanks for watching 💫

@@GTV-Japan No, thank you! This is a great retrospective of an underappreciated RPG series.

I’ll eventually revisit 1 and end the whole things with a massive ps4 video. All in due time

Great avatar by the way!

PHANTASY STAR V - DARK FORCES. Because there is always some dumbass to ressurect evil again, clone it in the name of good science and put an end to the "End of Millenium".

Yes you did. The exchange in Japanese goes something like. Hey just let me put it back here for a minute. No that doesn’t go there

Huh.

It’s pretty bad I mean

Lol well I have a new fetish

Probably the most sfw rule 34 there is

Yes this is true! It’s not the same. Just remake all 4 in a prettier ps4 style, it’ll be a good start

The closest to Phantasy Star V I've played is Skies of Arcadia (which is my favorite RPG of all time, BTW) Sega should have done PS V (& for that matter, Skies II) but from what I've heard they still have major issues with their business leadership

Yeah it’s sad..

@@seanmcgrath3826 That and they're not gonna be foolish enough to drop thier money making machine

I felt the same, but PS3 was the most popular or most played I felt as by then many had a Genesis and it was new game at the peak

@@GTV-Japan Yeah most people played 3 first. And they generally had no problem with it. Whereas the existing fan base think it didn't feel like a PS game. And that's understandable. It was my least favorite of the original 4 but I liked it. 4 is my favorite. 1&2 pretty much tied.

Let'sAllLove Lain I am going to do a video all about PS 3 in April next year and part of the script goes on about this point. You had to play 2 and remember the ending and then play 3 all the way to the near end to get the connection and if Algol is almost destroyed it makes senses to follow the Palma people.

@@GTV-Japan Looking forward to it. Also that cutscene toward the beginning of 4 did a great job of explaining how 3 fit into the series/timeline. The information you get from talking to the sages of New Mota in 3 helps too. All together it should eliminate any confusion or doubts people have about 3 fitting into the universe.

Let'sAllLove Lain yea but the only issue is who actually made it that far to know? In the meantime I did a video on ps2. Do watch it if you didn’t yet!

That’s great to hear. The recent switch version was made a lot easier!

@@GTV-Japan yes.. I remember trying to draw dungeons maps on graph paper as a kid... Some of them are still confusing even with a map on screen..

Yeah it looks cool but really it was a bad idea

It STILL hurts. Maybe on PlayStation 5 someday?

Gaijillionaire I would gladly pay for that I hope so! Im a 15 year old boy but this game means a lot to me! Im just 7 years old since I played this game. And yep on the start I dont know what to do later on im now liking the story and it touches My heart until now I really wish they do That i Will cry because of these memories of the past.

ItsNeekoKDM well I can tell you I was excited for the generations games back then. Hurt they never came out in English and crushed when 4 was cancelled. Generation 1 was the first game I bought in japan. First I finished in Japanese. It was greattttttttt

Nah, there are some really good rpgs on the Génesis starting with PS2, 3 and 4, Shining series, Soleil, Story of Thor/Beyond Oasis, Landstalker, Rent a hero (this one is amazing), Der Langrisser, Star Cruiser (to me the grampa of Mass effect haha!), Light crusader, Sword of Vermilion and lately Piersolar. Nah, Génesis has nothing to envy to the Snes in RPG material.

cheers

Great to hear. It was dragon warrior at the time, now quest.

Yes!

It was a lot of grinding and totally worth it!

You’re welcome! 💫

Now you are!

I strongly agree. PSO was definitely when Sega started getting greedy.

Thanks for the comment! Great to hear. I’ll use it in my phantasy star4 video,even though that’s 5 years from now

I don’t know what ps5 would be like but I think by this point the original staff is long gone and who knows what it would be. But yeah what will motivate them????

@@GTV-Japan $! If we can get popularity for a remake of part 1 ut could happen. Kickstarter? If I ever hit it big I guarantee you a ton of my money is going to go towards a remake petition.

Sure. Money makes everything work!

I agree. 1 is really hard with tough leveling up and slow movement. The dungeons look cool but are sooooo confusing. 2 is fine but the movement and battles are so slow! 3 if it was a separate game would be good. You must play! Graphics and music are the best! The movement on screen is fast and the level grinding is fun as far as level grinding goes. Get on it! I’m playing 4 all over again myself this weekend

I used to be a big phantasy star fan and I fully agree with you. phantasy star 4 hasn't aged well and its the best game in the entire series.

Phantasy Star 4 hasn't aged well?! Well, it aged better then most other rpg from the time, i'll tell you that. PS4 is a well made game that pretty acessible.

problem with the game is that most of the heroes dont have unique kits.most battles you just spam the same abilities over and over again.

Which game are you playing? Sure, some characters share the same techniques, but a far as I know, most of the characters have their own unique weapons and specific abilities. Chaz can unitize sword techniques unique to him. Rika utilizes claws and have agility based abilities unique to her. Allis uses boomerang slashers that can attack all the enemies at once. And the cyborg characters can only utilize unique techniques based on the parts the party finds. I'm not going to say all the characters are perfectly unique. After all, Chaz, Hahn and Seth can all use knives, and two characters utilize slashers (despite the fact that one gets killed off before the second one joins), but saying they don't have any unique kits make me question what you are referring to. Also, If you don't want to keep spamming attacks, there is a option to combine techniques provided if you know the right combinations. And Story wise, they are all their own unique characters.

Good question. Simply the FM sound card was developed after the SMS came out in US/EU. So it’s impossible. I have seen videos where someone hacks a US master system adds the sound card and it works though

Glad you liked it!

hypersphere I’m torn between 2 and 4. But for the time, when it was new , 2 was the best rpg available hands down
