Phantasy Star IV absolutely must be played, regardless what system you play on.Jagosaurus wrote:While I'm all about playing on the original hardware, if you have a PS2 look into the Sega Collection. It has Phantasy Star 2, 3, 4 & Sword of Vermilion. PS3/360 Sonic Collection also added PS1 IIRC.
I'm playing PSIV now on this PS2 disc. I'd much rather the real thing but I found the game for $5 lol. Couldn't resist! Three save state slots are available. Nice to be able to save in dungeons. I'm loving PSIV. I'll buy the Genesis boxed version eventually.
... but there are some games, I just have no patience for outside the original system.
Case in point: Sword of Vermillion. I wouldn't have made it through that one without my Genesis egging me on.
Also, Sword of Vermillion is hard to recommend, but can be quite fun with the right mindset. Still worth a look for a cheap price.
