    I still rank it as the best RPG on the Super Nintendo, even with its one big flaw. In boss battles you have to micromanage the computer controlled characters to the point that the developers might as well have made the combat turn based. The Playstation version plays a little better in that regard.

    I love this game. Its one of the games that forever assured my love of Shotguns in games, and easily my favorite SNES Run and Gun game. Its in my top three Run and Gun games too. I still don't know what whoever thought only including two playable characters in the Genesis version was acceptable was thinking. I still remember having to deal with my twin Cousins arguing about who got to use Cormano first while babysitting the night they got the Genesis version (We had been regularly playing the SNES version at my house since I got it much earlier and we all agreed Shotguns were the way to go.)

      I won't lie: Phantasy Stars 1-3 were trash in their own ways. They had things that made them interesting, but whether it be glitchy gameplay, laughable enemy sprite animations, ridiculous storylines, a heavy reliance on grinding or whatever else, they were all heavily flawed. But then 4 came along, took the GOOD parts of all of them, polished them up, ramped them up to 11 and tied together all the stories into a damn masterpiece.

    I beat this masterpiece back in 94 , just after it came out a year or two prior.and honestly, it changed me, I was blown away by all the different types of characters you could end up playing as, dependent upon whom you chose for your previous character to marry.whew,what a sentence.lol.anyway it's second only (in my book) to PS 4 which , when developed, was a big big money production,whereas PS 3 , well it was made by a different team than 1+2 so with a tonne going on at Sega at that time, it was medium to low priority and didn't have a lot of cash, or expectations behind it. Anyway I could go on all day, great episode dude, thanks for the memories

      It's a great story and should definitely be played at least once if you're a fan, but it is the worst of the series. The enemy animations are weird, and the battle mechanics are bizarre. The multiple endings means you will be replaying the same thing over and over again. Again, it's ok the first time around, but IMHO, it has no replay value. Unlike the other phantasy star games, which I've replayed hundreds of times.

    II is easily my least favorite of the first four Phantasy Star games. I found the dungeons much more annoying then the first game and felt the process of getting new party members sucked. Also there's a major points in the story I thought made no sense. And the ending was a good setup for a later game I thought but IMO neither III nor IV did a good job tying into it. One of III's endings did a little but I think there should have been a much better explanation of the aftermath, and there were some interesting directions they could have gone from the ending that got ignored (IV takes place a thousand years after this while III takes place a thousand years after IV)

    This is my most favorite game of all time. It's simply incredible! The amount of stuff you can do in this game is mind boggling when you take into account it was released in 1994! How they were able to cram all that content and amazing music into a few MBs is such an achievement. Music is some of the best on the system. I still hum the music from this game by heart. The tunes just grab on to you and never lets go. Though the biggest downside is the graphics. A game of this magnitude back in 1994, there was gonna be some compromises. So it isn't as pretty as other games on the system. So don't judge the game based on it's looks. Judge it by it's content. Sadly this game didn't sell enough in the west to garner offshoots and sequels like in Japan. So it's either get this game on the SNES(Best Version), Genesis, or PC. It was also released on the Virtual Console for the WiiU but since it's closure, it's impossible to grab now legally. I implore you. If you missed out on this fantastic hidden gem on the SNES. Go grab a copy or emulate it and give it a shot. You may just end up loving this game like some of us have.
