But, this was truly an unbelievable game, and puts every other 8-bit RPG to shame in terms of presentation. It has the story, graphics and sound (if you got the version with FM sound) of a 16-bit RPG, managed to fit on an 8-bit system. Consider me blown away. 
wow I didn't know Frank worked on the translation, either! That's awesome. And yes, I agree. It's by far my favorite 8-bit RPG.lisalover1 wrote:Just beat the retranslated version of Phantasy Star, and I freaked out when I saw Frank Cifaldi's name in the credits for the translation!
You really should take a look at this new version of the game with FM sound and a new translation. I have played a bit through the US Master System official release, and I have to say that this new version is miles better.noiseredux wrote:wow I didn't know Frank worked on the translation, either!

I'm just saying you should take a look at the rom. It would only take a few minutes; just give it a shot!noiseredux wrote:I've got it on GBA and on PS3, so not sure I need another version really.
I'm sorry to have to do this, but...noiseredux wrote:oh oh ...right haha.
the thing about Phantasy Star is if I even think of the game I hear the music in my head. And if I hear the music in my head, it makes me want to start the whole game over again. Gah! It rules!
I listened to that a while ago, actually, but I should really listen to it again.noiseredux wrote:lisalover, now that you've finished the game and everything's fresh in yr head you should listen to the Racket-cast episode that has an interview with that guy that runs the PS Shrine.
