Phantasy Star 2

[Jordanv78 20]

The Phantasy Star series (for those of you who don't know) is likely

Sega's greatest and most popular RPG series. Based in a futuristic world

-- the Algo Solar System, the PS games had a history of being large, and

more difficult than your average RPG. This is mostly due to the above

average difficulty of the random encounters, and the ridiculous complexity

of the dungeons. The PS series also had a notoriety of carrying around

some of the biggest price tags in console game history (if I remember right,

PS2 was around $70 when it first came out in 1989). Released in 1989, PS2

was extremely ahead of its time, though the game is only 6 megabits in size,

there are two planets to explore with a multitude of dungeons, items, and

monsters... by far the largest RPG of its time. Though generally more

overlooked than the other "big two" RPG series (i.e Dragon Quest and Final

Fantasy), Phantasy Star remains an extraordinary series that is very

rewarding once you get into it.

 

It is pretty amazing that a game during this time had two huge worlds you could explore. I encourage you to try this game out. You wont regret it. O.O Hope you enjoy the guide!! Feedback is welcome!

The Phantasy star series was definatly influental in the further development of the RPG genre. They were HUGE games for their time. And still some of my favorite games.

Well I know when they tried that MMO crap I was very sad. They need to keep it more like FF so the fans that have followed the game for years will still like it.
