GBA PS Compilation

[omegapirate2k]

It includes PS 1, 2, and 3, and I'm just wondering if any PSOWers here have it, I'd like to know what you guys think about it, because I'm considering buying it.

So... is it worth a buy?

[HUnewearl_Meira]

Well, it's Phantasy Star 1, 2 and 3 all in one cart. If you want to play Phantasy Star on your Game Boy Advance or on your GameCube, then absolutely. Drop the cash.

[DizzyDi]

are they remakes with enhanced graphics and the like? or just straight up ports?

[HUnewearl_Meira]

They're just ports. To their credit though, they truely are ports-- they're not simply emulated.

[omegapirate2k]

Well, I've heard some good things about it, I suppose it wouldn't hurt to try it out.

It should be noted that there is a bug with the saving in PSI, though, and it will sometimes freeze, so I would save often. On the bright side, you can save just about anywhere in PSI(Including dungeons), so it's not like you have to do backtracking in order to save.

PSI:
Yes, they introduced a saving bug. Apparently, it freezes if you save just as the music is starting to loop, so switch the sound on (unless you're me and actually like the music . Mega-nostalgia) and wait until it's at the middle of a tune and save then.

Also, they changed the bit where they called the Esper a "she". About time.

PSII:
The walking speed isn't really really slow any more, yes!

PSIII:
Still haven't played this!

Edit: Grr, bad wording.

Ooh, I dig fast walking speed ^_^

I heard that there were some grammatical and punctuation tweaks, nothing major, though.

So no PSIV? Sucks, but I still want it, too bad I can't find it... ;_; the stores never stock anything I want... I had a hell of a time finding a copy of PSO ep1&2 for the GCN...
