anybody ever played any of the Phantasy Star games for the genesis? My favorite one was Phantasy Star 4, graphics were actually good compared to the other games.
I played that demo of one that came out on the PSP some time back and it completely turned me off of the series.
The newer games have nothing in common with the classic games beyond common themes.
You shouldn't let the new 3D garbage turn you off until you've tried the old ones.
I would recommend trying out the 3 Genesis ones they're actually very solid games and pretty much the only good sci-fi rpgs available at the time.
Romancing SaGa/Final Fantasy Legend 3 was kinda good and kinda sci fi.
i've always thought that the older games were better than the news one ways. at least the first 4 games that came out had a story line that trends from previous games. the newer ones dont have anything to do with the story line they had going. its just randomness thrown out there

i feel ya man. the sega genesis version was much better. classic in its time!
3 was absolutely amazing! 2 and 4 were good.
Didn't really like 1 because I dislike dungeon crawlers.
Phantasy star online ep 1 and 2 for gamecube was nice

did you have a favorite character in the series? I've always thought Rune was the best.

Nope, not really.

Those games were a ton different than the old ones. o=
Yeah, the Phantasy Star Online games are action-RPGs where as the original series are traditional-RPGs.
I do enjoy the newer ones, still. But I don't consider them Phantasy Star games.
They're nothing the same except for some similar names of skills and items, etc.
