Well on thursday or so game crazy called telling me it came in (unfortunately my game boy player is still on its way ) I thought I would wait for it to come in and play phantasy star like it should be played, on a nice big t.v. but I couldn't resist So I am using my DS lite instead... the old SP is soo bad in comparison.
After reading all these different reviews about how poorly the game had aged and how it sucked compared modern rpg's I was prepared for the worst. Well I popped it in and was pleasently suprised by the fact that those people must have been on crack. I have only gotten to the bit where you get Myau and have to find Odin, but I am amazed at just how ahead of its time this game was.
The battle system is a bit confusing and I would normally consider it outdated in another title, but here I feel it just compliments the already blazing difficulty. My only problem so far is the serious lack of direction, but thats what the internet is for. The advantage is though, if I don't use a guide, I end up leveling A LOT while I am figuring out what to do next.
Also, I know this was not intended but I think that this is one of the funniest games I have ever played. Ranking right up there with Conker and Disgaea just because so much of it is so poorly translated that I find myself giggling while playing it... is that wrong?
Anyway I can't wait to beat them and then replay numbers 2 and 3 on the Sega genesis collection. I will then get to play PS 4 and finally complete my only goal in life @_@
