Sega Ages Phantasy Star Generation 1 - Battle against Medusa

[Resvrgam]

Wow, that character re-design for Medusa looks like complete crap. I could have drawn a better character with MS Paint. :(

Actually, there are quite a few art direction decisions in the Phantasy Star re-makes that tell me the dev team never bothered playing the originals.

Part of me is really sad that these games never made it stateside but another part is glad they never had a chance to sully such a brilliant series in the west.

Fans have made a retranslation patch for this game that replaces the ugly original font with a much better and more readable VWF in English text (no more all caps mode) as well as longer names for almost every spell/item. The best part of the patch is that you can switch between the 'original' crappy English music and the far-superior FM-sound from the Japanese version.

If I'm not wrong, if you get the Odin's Mirror Shield, Medusa can not transform anyone into stone.

[zoidburg111]

@zoidburg111 gamebaz.com - I ordered a copy off there. Sure - it's Japanese, but well-worth it. Bought a Japanese PS2 along with it, a bit pricey, but as a fan, it's not too much. Ordered Gen. 2 and P.S. Complete Collection as well. Great buys, really. =)

it's interesting to see that in your videos of this game, they the characters actually have conversations amongst each other and with others. that that quick one with Medusa right there. in the original game you just walk into the room and she tries to kill you. There is no lead in.

[Resvrgam]

The character design looked a LOT better in the original. It's a shame that, upon updating the graphics, they changed a LOT of what made the originals look so damn cool.

[metaldave08096]

we need this in the USA. Japan gets these awesome remakes and we get JACK SHIT

[jesusarzeno]

The question is were I can get this game for Play station 2 for america did exist or not

[nekomimi84]

It was never released outside of Japan.

[Greefus]

did you get a laconian axe at the end?

[DerRudymeister]

This could have been made on the original PS1 lol

[Shuda87]

Sure, it's possible, but it would look much worse if it were for the PS1.

[Sideburns1986]

And the load times would be fucking SLOW.

[nekomimi84]

That and these were meant to be budget games, sold for only 2,500 yen in Japan. They weren't meant to be masterpieces. ;)

[jackassofhell9999]

you know what,when you have a good game and you make it a budget game..........that's crap man

[Ander01SE]

@DerRudymeister

No shit, it's a remake of an 8-bit game. If you disregard the bigger color palette it actually looks worse than the 8-bit version as well. O_o

[millgiass]

Looks like the fight is harder than it use to be.

[nekomimi84]

Yeah, if you don't keep on top of some of the status effects it can be a bit of a pain!

[ArcticSlicer]

@nekomimi84 Good thing she only needed one more hit at the end.
