Phantasy Star 1 Remake

[HaLLa]

Does anyone have this game or has anyone played it?Its a remake of the very first Phantasy Star game...the one that started this all. The remake is for the Playstation 2...I dont think much is changed except graphics and stuff of that sort

I think your dribbling dude, only cause PSOW seems to get all Phantasy Star info before anywere else.

I could be wrong but.

I have it. Haven't really played too far into it, since I'm waiting for a translation - but from the looks of things, a whole lot has been added in. Dialouges seem much longer and drawn out, and there's even a "Converse" option in your menu where your party member can talk with each to give the player clues on what to do next. Some conversations take place in semi-cutscenes. There's one where Alys takes one last look around her house before leaving on her journey - a scene never found in the original.

I've yet to find the house where Alys's friend lives and lets you rest for free. The church is gone, I think, and replaced with a hospital. I'm pretty sure you also needed to get a dungeon key from in town before you could open the chest to get 2,000 meseta in the town dungeon. Yet, you don't have to get it this time around.. the chest is already unlocked.

It seems like a really good game (and EVERY bit as tough as the original), but until there's a translation ready - it's nothing more than a kill fest with some beautiful Anime cutscenes similar to PS4.

Alas, I believe that Suelo has, for some reason, been taken out of the game. Handy rest stop, that was, though...

As for the church/hospital thing, I can't say that I'm all that surprised. Palmans have struck me, for the most part, as being a bit on the agnostic side... http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif

Err, maybe because "it's got nothing to do with PSO"? *coughbullshitcough*

Oh, and I've been out with a broken foot for the last bit or so, so, noone got rid of anything, hear? http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif

well still it has to do with Phantasy Star...I think they should add the old games to the site...

also I notice a lot of people haveing pictures of old characters in their avs and sigs lately

They replace the Church with a hospital, because in the United States we try not to "promote" any religion in any way, alas. That is what happens with remakes and translations. (best example the Castlevania series, in USA we use boomerangs and in Japan they use Crosses, go figure)

Nice logic, but the problem with that.. is that the game is only going to be released in Japan. Consideration of American culture would had no effect on the design of the Phantasy Star Remake.

It's been gone over before. (http://pso-world.com/viewtopic.php?topic=64871&forum=6&20) >:/

Best not to open up that can of Sandworms again...

The AVs, I believe, are a small token from a fellow longtime Phan (thankee, Guntz!), and not directly connected to anything else here (and the Wren Av is still missing...).

EDIT: Gah, frickin' BBCode... XO

Thanks for clearing that up for me. Yet I believe that the western influence unfortunately is spreading further into the Japanese culture. They may not be considering to release it in the states, but it doesn't mean that they never will (or that it will be not be imported)

About the logic, I will admit it is limited on my part. To fully credit my statement as wholly true, I would have to play all original Japanese game and their Western versions, a daunting task. So just simply put, this is my personal opinion and nothing more.
