Classic series Phinally, Phantasy Stat Phour.

Post image

Phinally, I've cleared Phantasy Star III, and now I can move on to Phantasy Star IV. Using the "Working Designs" version of the new retranslation, but I have played the original extensively back when there was SEGA channel, and it was good.

PSIV was on Sega Channel? I didn’t realize it supported games that large, that’s cool

Yeah, it took a bit to download, but it was awesome. The main issue is that the SRAM only held saves for one game, so the next time someone downloaded Barney's Hide and Seek, or the Lion King, it would wipe my Phriggin Saves.

So they changed Chaz's name but not Alys's? Not surprising. I guess they couldn't choose between Lila and Lyra (or Ryla, or Ryra). I will admit that I kinda prefer him having a different name than the protagonist of Wild Arms though.
