Easily the best 8 bit RPG I ever played

[cowsquid]

classic game that shaped my childhood,

[xxcrysad3000xx]

@DRock7977 Uh they sort of did remake the early FF games for both DS and PSP, at least up to FFV.

[DRock7977]

@CoreyisGoD Phantasy star should be played on Sega only IMO but yes amazing game the praise could never end,.

[DRock7977]

@omffgusernames Yep ive completed it 2 times last year hehe and i managed to do it without cheating in the Baya Mayal second time.

[DRock7977]

Back in the day this game was as good as putting together FF,Skyrim,Fallout New Vegas and Mass effect together.

Thats how much the game was ahead of its time easilyyyy the best game on Sega.

They really should do a remake of the first 4 Phantasy star games for PC and have all the dungeons in it like the first one similar music and maybe some straigth off this game.

They should also make a remake of the early FF Games up to FF7 IMO.

@omffgusernames I never played it before until afew years ago, amazing. Not even boring to play, it's like a fine wine. And I have played older games that are just boring. I started playing this went outside the walls next to the sea then died 1 hit off the seaman monster. And it said your quest has ended about 3 minutes after it started XD.

[omffgusernames]

Revolutionary, a defining RPG. One of the best ever, hands down, that eventually led me to discover Final Fantasy. Built so good, it stands the ultimate test of time, 24 years later I'd still play the hell out of it. (omfg - 24 years ago?!)

how the hell did they fit this game into the cartridge it's so long and epic

[CoreyisGoD]

Not to mention, I own all the original Cartridges from the PS1 Master System cartridge to PS4. =)

This game and every game in the Phantasy Star series are my favorite games, EVER. I grew up with them and own them on almost every system I own. XBOX 360 Sega Collection PS Universe for 360, PS2 Sega Collection (Even bought the Japanese PS2) for the remakes of 1 and 2 and the Phantasy Star collection for it) Hell, I even bought Phantasy Star 2 for my iTouch. Classic, fantastic games. Thank you for posting this!
