    Don't forget to mention the "keytroller" behind you on your dedicated Phantasy Star Online video. Servers are still active, btw. Well, private servers, but it's still awesome. Mostly, PSO v2 for DC/PC, PSO Episode I & II, and PSO: BB are the active versions.

  • @Flared
    @Flared Před 8 lety +2

    Sadly, I don't think Sega could afford the budget to make a proper contemporary Phantasy Star game again, single player or online. They just cant take the risk :(

  • @MurseAndrew
    @MurseAndrew Před 8 lety +1

    So for me, Phantasy Star Online came out while I was a junior in high school. I had played previously 1, 2, 3, and 4 and actually bought the Dreamcast specifically for PSO. On top of that, I was so intrigued by the way it valued names to determine IDs that I actually learned how to use C++ and wrote an array that would take any name I input and tell me what the output ID would be in the game.

    PSO had a huge impact on me when it hit the Dreamcast ,I was 19 at the time , 36 now, I still have friends from the game that I still speak too to this day !
    I think they were always way ahead of their time . I too like so many did not enjoy the card battle game very much but again , They were so far ahead of the game . I think if the card battle game were to be released now , Today , Then it would be a huge hit in my personal opinion .
    I have recently aquired PSO2 for my pc after many years of missing the game and the memories .. I had 11 characters on the DC ! lol
    Not sure if it's just me but i have been humming / whistling the jungle theme for the past 15+ years lol
    Great channel btw . Thanks for making the Phantasy Star videos . I have only just found your channel . Glad I did !

    Impressive collection, Phantasy Star 1 was the very first roll playing game I ever played way back in 1988 and I paid $90 for it! I only ever play 1, 2, 3, and 4. Never any of the other ones.

  • @GameSack
    @GameSack Před 8 lety +21

    Loved the Phantasy Star series proper. But I cannot get interested in any of the Online games. They just don't feel like Phantasy Star and there's nothing there that's even remotely interesting. I played through the first one online and it felt like such an empty, vacant experience. It probably doesn't help that I abhor playing games online. I feel that everything after Phantasy Star 4 should be called something else and not Phantasy Star.

    • @JazGalaxy
      @JazGalaxy Před 8 lety

      +Game Sack It's so weird that they leaned so hard into Phantasy Star Online. I know the first one did pretty well, but did anything else PSO? I feel like it was never quite the *thing* that proper Phantasy Star was

    • @mylifeingaming
      @mylifeingaming Před 8 lety +1

      [Coury] I agree for the most part but ended up loving PSO quite a bit, logging over 250 hours to get to level 100. It was the only time I really got into an online game of that size. It helped that I had a pretty good core of people I played with from the GF_Tavern IRC chat room.
      I own a couple of the post PSO games but haven't spent much time with them beyond booting them up to watch the intro.

    • @JazGalaxy

  • @vvlvmusic
    @vvlvmusic Před 8 lety +1

    I just love Phantasy Star so much.
    The SMS version was my first RPG, and I remember how puzzled I was at first.
    The Dungeons, the towns, the awesome music. It just blew my mind, totally changed how I looked at games.
    Pages upon pages of graph paper with dungeon maps, and I don't know how long it took me to finish this game the first time.
    Especially tricky considering it was my first RPG, English not being my first language, and me being maybe 10 or 11, playing with a dicitionary next to me. Awesome times.

  • @jamesdagel459
    @jamesdagel459 Před 8 lety

    My entire collection could burn to the ground, but I'd save Phantasy Star. This is why you're my hero, Johnny. I remember Phantasy Star kicking off my love of video games. I was one of the few in the neighborhood with a SMS in 1988. All my friends were early NES fanboys. I didn't know anything about Phantasy Star until I saw it in a store and fell in love with the artwork and the breakdown on the back. I was 13 and begged my mom for it. Well, $80 USD wasn't easy for my parents to part with, but a month or so later, she took me to the store to get it. I have lots of great memories that I fondly think back of on my childhood and playing this game covers many of them. Thank you for your all of your videos, especially any relating to this tremendously glorious series! I would so love a remake of #1 or a single player follow up to the series!

  • @johnpaulbacon8320
    @johnpaulbacon8320 Před rokem +1

    Again for the 5th 6th time? Phantasy Star is why I subscribed to HCG. I have about 4 years on you Johnny and like you it was 1988 when I got into the 1st one. Took me til 1989 to beat. I have the original, PS II, PS III, and IV. I also bought PS Collection import for the Saturn. Never tried Online. I just want Sega to remake the originals and possibely continue the original story. Here's to hoping, great episode!

  • @Cleve_Crudgington
    @Cleve_Crudgington Před 8 lety

    I had never even heard of this series until I got the Sega Mega Drive collection for the PSP. I didn't really get into 2 or 3 but I played 4 and thought it was really good. And then I was searching for Phantasy Star stuff on youtube a few years back and that's how I discovered the Happy Console Gamer.

    @Fershizzal Před 8 lety

    After learning of the Gba game, i decided to give them a try on an emulator, let me say, Phantasy Star 1 is pretty hard so far. Definitely a grinding game, but thanks to save states, and my emulators turbo button it makes grinding go 10x faster. Maybe if i beat this, i'll develop a new love for the series and you did so many years ago. Thx for turning me on to the series.

    Great collection! Been waiting on your PSO episode that you keep hinting at. Hopefully PSO2 will hit west some day and you can experience it. For your PSO episode maybe you can incorporate some PSO moments or thoughts into the video from your fellow subs/PSO fans? Hell, I can relate with you a lot on it so far. I spent many long hours and lost sleep over the addiction of it.

    Oh man I have like 20,000 hours on PSU, no joke. The play time capped at 9999 hours on each character and I had 2 characters with 9999 and 1 other with almost 1000. That game was my life for about 6 years, until the servers were shutdown. Before that I played PSOBB, still play it to this day on private servers. Such great games.

  • @Spurgness
    @Spurgness Před 8 lety

    I just finished getting all the Genesis games not too long ago, picked up IV for a decent price from Gamedeals, some one butchered the cardboard box and stuffed it in a clamshell, but was still happy to get it to play through all of them on their original systems

  • @DBahamut
    @DBahamut Před 8 lety +1

    Phantasy Star 1 in portuguese was the first JRPG I ever played and what a great introduction to the genre!
    The problem is I was only able to finish it many years later, since this copy I first played was one I used to rent and it had a problem: The batttery was faulty and so the save would be erased every time the console was turned off!
    I remember once keeping my SMS on for a whole weekend and trying to go as far as possible in the game.
    And I found this video because I'm currently playing, for the first time, Phantasy Star II. Besides 1 I had only ever played IV before, which I consider the best Genesis RPG.

    I've been thinking about starting this series as it's on the Sega collection on the PS3/360 of which I've recently managed to borrow from someone I know. I knew it was on there but didn't realise the first game was hidden and could be unlocked. It therefore features all 4 original titles. I've definitely been influenced by your interest in the series over the years, it's just getting the time to do so with so much out there already.

    Phantasy star owns my soul! phantasy star 1 was the first game that i played at my house . I rented it when i was 8 years old with the master system. i had never seen anything like it before. I remember that i couldnt figure out how to exit the first town=) but when i did, o man. Then i rented it again the week after, and i saw that it had a save file saved in the game. so i tried it and was on another planet with some vehicle you could ride in. it was awesome.

  • @dirtykazoo2465
    @dirtykazoo2465 Před 8 lety

    My first Phantasy Star was Phantasy Star III, so I am one of the few that appreciate that game more than most. I did grow to love Phantasy Star IV more once I got it, but those are my two favorites. I haven't owned as much as you have, I still have II, III and IV on the Genesis and Phantasy Star Collection on the GBA. Traded away Phantasy Star 0 and had rented Phantasy Star Universe, but neither of those could hold me like the older games, though I kind of want Universe again to give it another shot.

    Phantasy Star IV was awesome, but the price at release was crazy. I saw it at Toys R Us and they wanted 95 bucks for the game. The carts size was the reason for the price, fortunately I got the Sega Channel later that month and was able to play it on there. One of the best RPG adventures I've ever played.

    @gregdickson4767 Před 8 lety

    Hey Johnny, I was just wondering what username that you went by in Phantasy Star Online on the Dreamcast, and what class did you play as? My character's name was Jet Fire (a short orange Humar with Spiky Hair). It's unlikely we crossed paths, but I did log a thousand or two hours into the game, so it could have been possible that we passed each other by. It was pretty much my whole life for about 2 years! By the time I was done with version 2, I was about LVL 148 with all top notch equipment (that game got so time consuming to LVL up in late into version 2). Really, PSO was my only real experience with the series, aside from occasionally watching a friend of mine play some PSIV on an emulator in high school. Glad to see some PSO love being shared with everyone here. In my opinion, it was really the social experience that made the game what it was.

    Holy crap, where did you find that repro for the text adventures? I've wanted one for years!
    Also, please, PLEASE give the games their own dedicated videos (especially PSII, PSIII, and PSIV). I would love to hear more about how those games impacted your life (assuming they did; i mean, they kinda did to me)

    Looking up stuff for Phantasy Star Online 2 is how I came across your channel. Ive been subscribed sense but too bad PSO2 never came to America.

    My local Best Buy still had Sonic's Ultimate Sega Collection (360) new for $20. On my budget, that's the only way I can play PS II, III and IV. PSO on DC was extremely addictive back in the day!
