UlyssesT I swear you read my mind sometimes because I got back into Phantasy Star just before you started posting about it lmao.
I only played the Master System one as a kid so now I'm going back the play 2 and 4 (probably will skip 3 because I hear its meh)
So far 2, while enjoyable, has been SUCH. A . GRIND. I am so glad I'm playing on an emulator because my impatient adult ass would not be bothered to grind this much without save states and a fast forward lmao.
Like, imagine a giant stone golem face floating in the air... and it attacks you by wiggling its ears
Hahaha oh, that's unfortunate. One of the coolest things about Phantasy Star was that the enemies had animated sprites, even SNES Final Fantasy didn't have that.
I'm guessing they would have animated it more but the stupid competitiveness of that era means Sega forced games to be SUPER rushed, like "make this in 6 months" kind of rushed.
