For those curious about one of the grandparents of the JRPG genre, and one that still has unique quirks and its own special style and setting that stands out even decades later, this is the place to start. Jason Graves is covering the sequels all throughout August, too! :SickoRune:
Little bit of game trivia here: the protagonist of Phantasy Star is one of the first mainline seriously presented female protagonists in video game RPG history, and she's still a decent character all things considered.
This has been on my back burner since the mid 2000s. The fourth game looks really sick, as a mainly SNES/PS1 rpg enjoyer.
I almost typed up a post today asking if anyone would suggest playing PSO on Ephinea/something else because I've never played it and it seems like a good time.
I put a bit of time into PSP2 on the PSP (and recently downloaded the PSP2:I English patch) so if you have thoughts/input on that as well please let me know.
Edit: whoops wrong game in the series jumped the gun
