VC Monday Madness: Phantasy Star IV

Finally!
Ok, so now can we have part 1 on the Sega Master System?

You say "um" a lot.

Honestly I'm surprised you recommend this, especially since there are already collections available which contain this game... at least I believe there are, one of which I believe is a GBA game. If not there is the SEGA collection coming out which does contain the first four Phantasy Star games.

I wish you guys would review the WiiWare titles, too. I'd really like to know if the mini golf game this week is worth my money. Thanks!

I just downloaded this game which makes 4 copies that I now own (I'm a game collector and I had to have this game still factory sealed). This is the RPG that made me fall in love with the genre. I HIGHLY recommend this one of all the other PS titles.

And actually this game is not available in any current compilations. The GBA collection only has 1 - 3. There was a Sega Saturn game which had all 4 but finding that will cost you some dough because it's a very sought after collectors item since this is the only compilation of all 4 original games.

I've played 2-4 and PSO for GCN and IV is by far the best in storyline and character development which are the 2 most important aspects, IMO, for an RPG. Each character is unique and displays their own personalities. The game also links and references previous PS games so it feels like one world or universe (something you don't get in FF games). Later the game also allows you to do combo attacks where you can combine different abilities for a larger and more powerful attack (14 in all).

The story line includes twists and turns and even some heartfelt moments *tear*

Anyone that is a fan of the classic turn based style RPG will enjoy this title.
