  • @816bitRemake Yo I hear you man, for me it's the same with FF8.

    It's hands down my favorite game and the most influential aspect in my life (sadly) I played it when I was like 8? maybe alittle younger, got it again 5 years ago, but towards the end I just stopped. Like I really don't want to see the end, I'm now 20 and I still can't find it in me to let go.

  • OH GAWD!

    METRIOD ICON!

    Wait... this is phantasy star.

    No seriously, this boss is named MOMBRAIN.

    >

    It has 2450 HP, 110 HP less than DARKFRCE

    Her adress is 025fda.

    Lolz, I love PS waaaay too much

  • I really liked this game it was fun and interesting

  • I loved this game unconditionally. The music, the graphics, the gameplay, the story. rock on.

  • lol a spaceship of bricks(look ar background before fight

  • What is that tune from 0:00-0:08?

  • @Arzgebargscher

    jim hensons the story teller

  • They really need to remake the PS series, especially for the PC but also for Playstation 3 for those who are console people. But with some changes:

    1.A PS2 alternate version that follows the original Lutz plot unlocked after winning PS2

    2. A fourth planet with no plot relevance is introduced and gets blown up in Parma's place.

    3.Added levels and plot debth, with levels on Parma in II and IV.

    4. Lutz is still frozen and wakes up in IV, it was weak that he was dead in IV.

  • @jaymthegenius They kind of already did a couple remakes. Phantasy Star Generation 1 & 2 (which were remakes of PS1 & PS2) which were released in Japan on the Playstation 2. Never came to Europe or North America due to Sony cancelling those plans and not allowing Sega to publish them outside Japan.

  • @streeTkiDwannaBe I'm aware of those, if nothing else it was cool of them to some sidequests to be able to revive Nei and the crystal system in 1 and limit breaks in 2. I don't like the slower pace judging from the videos and the new death place music isn't as good. Two's remake of Rise or Fall, however, is awesome.

  • I feel so stupid now cause I only just realised Mother Brain is also from Metroid... How did Sega get around using that name from Nintendo, especially at the time?

  • nostalgia nostalgia thanks so much Artificialraven for uploading this video

  • Is not GameBoy Advance?

    

  • I like how every Artificialraven video inevitably has someone saying "What's that music at the beginning of the video? It's so familiar...".

  • Phantasy Star whomps ass over Final Fantasy. The games are much harder, so the rewards are sweeter.

  • What levels are your party members at?

  • Comment removed

  • Best game ever...

  • This is the single hardest game I have ever played.

  • what's the music in the beginning? sounds so familiar...

  • @joeraysp

    Geno Forest Remix from Mario RPG?

  • @PokeKoopa good ear, thanks a bunch =)

  • keep staring at the color changing lady her head is shrinking and growing!

  • Best game ever.

  • Phantasy star 2 is the best in the series IMO...

  • i honestly think dark force is a bitch in this game compared to mother brain and what sucks is there one right after another. and ive never seen someone use amy bro :P thats balls. I ususually take kain and Anna

  • Where's Samus when you need her :<

  • wie alt Oo

  • Phantasy Star Online was my first foray into online gaming. I loved that game and actually still do. It was simple as hell, and there was only 4 areas to go to, but i had a great time. If they remade it for another console, id pick it up.

  • Why the hell does mother brain look like mother trinity from PS0?

  • @kinghorus :{ your right but ps0 is after ps4

  • I beat it on the 360. It was pretty fun, plus, you know, well, achievements too :)

  • a whole 200 :P

  • I want to make a hack of this game... i think it might be easy to give the appearence of fighting with slicers. Since Anna's attack sprite when she uses slicers is the same as her spell casting sprite. I should be able to make any of the characters look like they weild slicers... but i don't know how to hack...

  • I made the mistake of using the hint book that came with the game way back in 1989-1990.

    Blasted through the game in 3 weeks...

    There was no sense of accomplishment with it. :(

  • Wow, haven't seen this in a long time.

    It took me forever to level up my team to smash Mama Brain

  • For GBA? IM BUYING IT!

  • It's also in a collection on the PSP and PS2.

  • lol it looks like there killing the boss by giving her the finger

  • hahahahahahahahahahaahha

  • Holy crap. I'm having a seizure just watching this. You, sir, are a brave man. This must be the reason that so few people here had the bravery to complete this game.

  • Anyone who didn't complete it is a damn fool because its an excellent game.

  • Since just about everyone keeps saying that, that's why I am now playing it (on the Sega Mega Drive Collection). If I really am the RPG fan I say I am, I have to.

  • Never had the determination to play thru these games except for 4. but they were all pretty different

  • i got to lvl 40 off basic monsters cause i never found the girl in the plant lol i still havent beat the game... i skipped 2 and whent str8 to 3

  • In December 12th 2012 Mother Brain will take over the world and 4 people will have to collect the Nei items and be transported by Stephen Hawking to an spaceship to defeat her.

  • LOL, what the fuck?! Hahaha!!!

  • @Deokishisu yeah.wmv

  • @Deokishisu Ooo... can i be Hugh?

  • omg that PS is too low

  • this game is hard as dick.

  • Wuss.

  • vaja! you are a worthless faggot!

  • lol,you are abit overlvlved did same thing more lowre than you about 7 years ago

  • I could listen to this music all day....

  • Can someone tell me why PS III is so much overlooked even today? It got me more interested in classical music no less (I think it's got the best music from PS to PSIII). Plus, its "seriously-dealt" themes of love and familial continuation are not too common in games. It's also ambitious, even realistic in its graphical style. it's got a variety of choices plus 7 different planets.

    Is it that there were less spells in the game, or that it was not as "cartoony" as the other parts?

  • No, it's because the game was a buggy lazy mess that, despite having many promising features, it just totally failed to deliver on in a spectatular way, ranging from lazy enemy animations, to badly designed maps and scenarios, a difficulty curve that made no sense and bad writing, and was only tangenially related to PS 1-2 in one specific ending.

    It was a lot of 'could have beens' that all failed to be, and that is why it's generally hated.

  • I only read about "the boots bug" on the internet. To me, the atmosphere was quite deep in the game, it was more "mature drama" than lighthearted humor. And the music fit the ambience.

    The enemies are generally well designed and I think could not have been much improved in animation considering their detail and variation. The storyline varied greatly which was unique at the time I think. And the game was not too short, you really had to take some time off to collect some money.

  • All that might had been true had the previous 2 games not done it a lot better; proving that it was possible. And 'hours of grinding' is hardly an acceptable gameplay 'feature' (and in fact is a shortcoming of the second game as well)

    Nobody is saying you can't/shouldn't like the game. I in fact actually enjoyed it. But I can very well see why it is considered to be crap compared to the rest of the series. If rereleased and totally redone, it could be good, but that's never goint to happen.

  • I liked it a lot, especially with the variety of characters. However I think people hated it because it was different. Hence PStar4 being so much like PStar2. I liked the new approach, but there were some lazy animations like Zavion said, and some enemies, as well as some of the battle music, made no sense at all. It tied in a few aspects of the other games, even PSO to a different extent. I found it the easiest one though, and not too much levelling was ever needed for money or exp

  • I agree, and I didn't really find the stories all that "in depth" in PS III, either. The multi-generational plot should have been in depth, but it wasn't. It was more "walk, walk, someone joins your party, walk, mini boss, marry a girl" for the first two generations. No matter who you were in the third generation you basically did the same thing. They didn't develop the characters enough. I like it well enough and play it through every few years, but it's ultimately disappointing.

  • Thanks for uploading; this brings back fond memories. I can't believe you changed Rolf's name to "Bob," though. :-P

  • Im 14 years old and I have to say that this is the best RPG I ever played. I am now replaying it. I am currently at Piata in Mota trying to buy weapons and armor to go to Uzo Island to get some leaves to go underwater.

  • why do people mention their age in the comments? and the when you check their channel, it says different age there

  • pedo stalking youtubes hahah

  • Still the best RPG I ever played, and yes as much as I love PS4 and Final Fantasy 6, I think this games' overlooked narrative is rich with some of the ballsiest story moves ever seen now and especially for its time.

    From Nei dying(b4 tht bitch from ff7) to your whole entire party dying at the end and taking a whole lots with them. imagine if Sega did this the RIGHT way today, The ps2 remake is great but so much more could be done.

  • PS2, what a great game, and about the xbox arcade game.., I am working on that right now!! the only thing i forgot about the game is how long it takes shir to steal... But the star mist and moon dews... defiantly worth the wait!

  • God..where's Captain N when you need him...

  • i have played and beat all 4 phantasy star games and have played all the online ones... although card revolution sucked

  • I personally don't care for the new PS games. I was hoping PSU/O would take place back in the Algo system but it didn't. That really disappointed me, being a longtime fan of the series and all.

  • @Artificialraven Exactly. I saw the trailer for PSU for PS2 (note I said PS2), thought it was good. Bought it, beat it in roughly a week and a half: not only did it not take place on Algo, but the gameplay wasn't very challenging (except for the final stage), the story so-so, and ultimately it was TEDIOUS! Boring as hell! Same missions, same enemies, same routine until your desired level, money, etc.

    Disappointment isn't even the term.

  • It's coming to Xbox live arcade! I never got to here before, I just got to Darkforce then stopped playing. Can't wait to relive the game.

  • wow i forgot mother brain makes you think your on an acid trip but otherwise epic fight!

  • The only thing i didn't like was the fact that you never know how much damage you took when you got hit.

  • omg memories flew back in my head as soon i heard the song!

  • LOL

    1 exp earned

  • I remember this game from a long while back. I was a little kid when I played it. My older brother helped me beat it when I was young (he had beaten it already). This is a great game. I've since then replayed it every time it comes out in a collection (GBA, Playstation 2, and soon Playstation 3)

  • cool game i finished it too, but didn't understand too much of the plot xD i did understand that the humans created motherbrain tho :D

  • I don't get it.

    I played Phantasy Star IV first, and loved it. Then, I tried to go back and play the other 3, and they're just unplayable. Is it me? Is IV just that better that I expect more or something?

  • ps2 had a lot of improvement from ps1 and is quite similar to ps4 just give it more time and im sure youll like it ;)

  • I haven't played 4 yet, but have beat the first 3 many times. They are great games and two has one of the best endings in RPG history (in my opinion). Go back and give them another shot. You may end up enjoying them.

  • wow... ths bringsb back memories...

  • That's a nice evening gown Mother Brain is wearing.  I like the way the Algo Star System is sequined on there; it's kitchy... in cool way.

  • This game was freakin EPIC.

  • That game to be born in 1989 was a masterpice.

  • masterprice*

  • Mother Brain kinda looks like Beryl from Sailor Moon but with 4 arms

  • lol 1 mission point

  • I still have this game packed away with the rest of my old stuff. This game was friggin' awesome as hell. Still is if you ask me.

  • totally

  • ps2 is my fav of the four because of the adventurous atmosphere, melodies, monsters, battle system, sound effects, monsters, story. oh i give up!! everything about this game is wonderful! It will live in my heart forever. (tears rolling down cheeks)

  • I feel exacktly the same :D

    Is better than most of todays J-RPG:S imo

  • tottally awsome, couldnt agree more

  • finished this game twice at least.

    once went through it following the hint booklet exactly, but doing so i missed wasn't strong enough to defeat the last boss.

  • oh they're on the megadrive no wonder why I can't find them anywhere, I started with PSU I want to know what happens :x

  • lol, Bob.

    I AM BOB THE ALMIGHTY!!

    Anyway, great music, and great fight.

  • Nice Job on the boss, Creator. This will give people an illusion. The music also rules.

  • dumb bitch,no one cares about graphics.

  • In 15 years you too will look back on the games you liked and remember them as great fun. This is called nostalgia.

    The reason you don't understand this today is because you're a small child.

  • Yeah i'm tha fucken child....

  • I shouldn't bother myself replying a 7 months old comment, but I just coudn't help myself.

    You next gen freaks = FAIL

  • The dungeons in this game were definitely a total pain in the ass. I remember that it took me forever to beat this game.

  • it was released with a book that had maps of all of the dungeons. they were so complex that some of them were even hard to figure out with a map!

  • wtf Poseidon500, death palace is one of the best boss tunes out there.

  • this game was awesome.i recently bought sega mega drive collection for psp and it have all th phantast stars.the con of this game is that u cant see the damage u re doing... xDD

  • lol nice name bob

  • OMG! Memories! Sweet memories. I played the sh!t out of this game! Took me like a year to beat it. And this is the best in the series for sure. 1, 2, and 4. 3 was ok, but not up to true phantasy star standard, but the fact that you could have children and play as them was awesome!! Still, 2 rules...

  • Mother Brain..?

    Erm, METROID?

  • I heard Preparation H fixes that problem.

  • i'd say da only point in da where the battle background actually fits the battle lol

  • thank you for doing that video, I finished PS2 long time ago, and I was really happy to see Mother Brain again...

  • One of the RPGs ever, also one of the best finals, and best final bossses.

  • look at ps4's final boss it will top this boss.

  • I like the song !

  • i have this game it's way to long... it's a good game but waaay too lonnggg i mean i've been playing for god only knows how long and i only made it to the secret control tower after nei dies... i quit lol the whole game is made on mob fights and mazes if you wanted to you could sum up the whole game in 1 min lol... Phantasy Star 2 In A Nut Shell lol someone should make that!

  • LOL I so agree.

  • They do go a bit overboard with some of the mazes. What are there like 69 chutes in the one? They can't expect anybody to figure that out without a map. With sheer trial and error that could take a year of your life.

    I like challenging RPG's though. I'm glad the random battles are tough. In most RPG's they're too easy. I think they could have made Neifirst & Mother Brain harder too, while Dark Force is plenty tough as it is.

    A bit too much level/meseta grinding too IMO.

  • lol super mario rpg on the begining the song

  • This is one of the best final battles in video game history in my opinion...gah I still play this game today and I've played it since I was 4 (16 years ago and this game's still not old). Truth is I never had time to get to Mother Brain until about 4 years ago XD

  • Not only is it one of the best final battles but Mother Brain is one of the coolest looking villains ever.

  • Best JRPG evah! =)

  • nice video!! i'm from argentina

  • all are your characters at 50? highest i ever got when i beat this was 40-45

  • i wasted 3thousand hours playing phantasy star online

  • pardon my ignorance, how do you connect the ps2 to the internet?

  • By connecting a network cable? It has (well, the slim version) an ethernet connector so it's just as hooking up your PS3 or 360. =)

  • I've beaten the first for PS games and PSO, (loneliest game I ever played in my life!! ugh!!) I have this game for Genesis and Gameboy. Well done fight I must say, you had an easier time with Mother Brain than the first time I beat the game. Though we had the same party for the most part, I just didn't have Amy with me... The only other difference I noticed with the Genesis and GB versions were statistical changes for the characters

  • Okay, one of my friends recomended this (gba collection) and I got it off of ebay, and it looks like a bootleg cartridge, but it works fine, but I don't have a clue in the world on what to do on any of the 3 games, can anyone help me?

  • Yeah I can help you somewhat. I can't personally give you any info cause my memory is bad but if you go to gamefaqs dot com and search for any one of the 3 PS games, you can find walkthroughs.

  • The faqs are helping sort of but the battle system is whats confusing.

  • You should check for the cluebook on the internet, when I bough the game in 92, I receive the cluebook. It's really important to have it, because the dungeons are very hard. For those who already played, remember the green dam. By the way sorry for my writting, I'm french ;)

  • I remember that. It took me an incredibly long time to figure that out.

  • You get to fight mother brain in Phantasy Star Universe.

  • That's one awesome looking boss.

  • Bob, oh yah thats a good name.

  • if you can only make your charater a name with 4 letters it's nt easy to get a better name. What would you recomend.

  • Well since Bob is my real name, thats why I named the main character that. So piss off all you name haterz (except banana360 :P)

  • Fee is my nickname, short for Felix. Depends on the cahracter though.

  • My nickname is Toad so no problems with there only being four letters

  • I'd always use some body part or really foul swear word . . . but then I'm perverse.

  • foul swear word like fuck or shit or dick

    dick is a real name you know.

  • phantasy star2 and 4 are still 2 of my favorite all time games... i played phantasy star online... what a deception!!

    I wish someone would take sci-fi RPGs and make something good for a change, the only ones recent that come to mind are Fallout series and X-com and both like +10 years old

  • Wow, this game was amazing when it came out. It looks so incredibly dated now! LOL! Still a classic though.

  • Its a turned-based RPG.

  • Wasn't this a Strategy RPG?

  • this game was cool when I first played it XD but NOW I FIND IT LAME...TOO BAD :(

  • TOO BAD.... 4 U MUAHAHAHHAA

  • I got pwned

  • lol 1 exp of doom.

  • wait a minute how does this make sense mother brain sort of created the algo system how can it be the final boss.

  • I would like to know this too.

  • mother brain dint created algo system, she just controled everything on it

    remenber that mother brain dint even existed in ps1

    iirc humans(not parmanians, humans from earth like us) made mother brain as a way to control algo system for a invasion. but im not sure if was really that(sounds weird dont it? :P))

  • thanks the reason i don't know that is i didn't play the first one. I have phantasy star 2,3 and 4 on sega genesis collection. In the 2nd one i'm still i don't know it says i need to get to some biosystems plant but i don't know where that is. In phantasy star 4 i'm at the air castle lashiec keeps pwning me.

  • I personally use the Snow Crown right away, then have Amy use the Storm Gear when she's not healing the rest of the fight. Have her equipped with 2 Lacon Emel's. And I give Anna the Nei Emel in her other hand instead of the AC Slasher because it seems like it almost always misses anyway. To each his own.

  • i beat the game with nei 4 months ago and the ending is the same

  • Ahh! Guys! Can somebody tell me the name of the song that plays for the first 8 seconds? It sounds so familiar... know I've heard it before, just can't put my finger on it.

  • You mean that super mario rpg forest maze song?

  • Its the song of the story teller :) a series of an old dude with a dog telling fairy tales.

  • old yeller and no it is the super mario rpg forest song

  • THIS GAME IS HARD AS FUCK! great game but i'd say phantasy star 4 was a way to apologize to gamers such as myself who would prefer less confusing dungeons and a faster levelling rate (please don't hate me for my preference of RPGs. i just think this PS2 simply takes the title of hardest RPG in certain aspects)

  • You've obviously never played Might & Magic Gates to Another World. It makes this game look like Mario Bros. in terms of difficulty.

  • funnest game ever lol

    how do you keep Nei alive?!?! =/

  • you can't, although you can use a moondew to res her during the fight she dies in

  • or cheat using a game genie

  • look at the comment i made about the game genie code

  • i got this game as pat of sega mega drive collection it's hard i havent even got to the bio-plant yet because i keep dying in this weird place.

  • the hardest RPG of aaaaaallll time!!! each cave takes 6+ hours due to your slow ass characters and the crazy mazes! every 2 steps is a fight! its impossible to level up to where your stronger than the monsters in the area where your at! However, its a part of one of my favorite rpg series, so i give it props!!! Also, it has great music!

  • You remember the dungeon that had like....72 teleporters in it? It was in one of the towns and took me a week to get through. Insanity! This game by far has the most complex dungeons in RPG history.

  • haha, who else did the trick to keep Nei alive? kekekeke

  • how can you keep Nei alive?! do tell.

  • look through the comments for the game genie code i posted

  • For a game made in 1988, it seems to be looking good also.

  • i tried to do this game, its soooo hard :(

  • Funnily enought, I used to take Shir because she's fun even though she's not a good fighter.

    And as a matter of fact, Kain's tech works in the last dungeon. (Don't know why hahaha)

    Anyway, the other chars are also here for the rest of the game. Kain is especialy useful in the second part of it.
