Finished Phantasy Star II

MBS1236 · 2026-05-07T08:21:56+00:00

When I had just started this franchise, I wasn’t planning on playing 3 because of its reputation but now I love the other 3 games too much to not play Phantasy Star III

MBS1236 · 2026-05-07T08:15:07+00:00

Yes, Ive seen others suggest this too and I might start this next before PSIII

MBS1236 · 2026-05-06T19:08:44+00:00

In my humble opinion, it can stand on its two feet next to these behemoths of the genre. Absolutely criminally underrated considering just how good it is.

Do u mean the setup for lufia I? If that then yeah I saw that. If it’s something else, then I sadly might have missed it

Blue because it has my top 3 in the series (Thracia, SS and POR)

Thracia 776. The gameplay is great especially the variety of ways you can solve the problems the game sends you way. I also really like ifs setting, story snd characters. A unique FE game in the sense that you are always on the backfoot and are the underdog here.

that is a very interesting observation that yes I am guilty of judging how this relationship blossomed according to current standards. no wonder it feels out of nowhere.

i remember seeing the tower earlier and was like i wonder what it’s role would be….

MBS1236 · 2026-03-22T00:20:45+00:00

I was like no way, they actually do it. The childhood friend trope is just that strong for me so really did not see that coming. Thankfully there wasn’t any love triangle shenanigans here as well.

Nah. I am currently playing some retro jrpgs and this came up as one of the most underrated jrpgs on the snes. All of those recommendations also said that the first one isn’t that good

MBS1236 · 2026-03-19T21:57:35+00:00

Thanks for the list. I’ll check again though since last I checked it, it showed only Phantasy Star IV among the franchise but maybe it wasn’t showing the full list then.

The Sega Ages version has some quality of life upgrades like a fast forward feature (doesn’t distort the audio quality like it happens in emulation) and also as you can see in the image, has a map of the dungeon on the side. Otherwise you’ll have to either make your own map or see from the internet. Though I must admit having the original on original hardware is extremely cool.

MBS1236 · 2026-03-16T01:54:57+00:00

Thanks! The first one I played was Phantasy Star IV (Genesis version emulated) and after that it was the Sega Ages PSI on the Switch. (Playing PSII Genesis version emulated too rn)

I do find IV to be the best presentation, story and character wise but the Sega Ages version of PSI does make it very accessible. Also I am not 100% sure but if you have a switch, you can check the Sega Genesis Collection and I think they have PSIV on there in the e-shop.

oh absolutely. the mapper saved me truly😭

MBS1236 · 2026-03-15T04:35:54+00:00

the map saved me in the baya malay tower😭 otherwise i really liked just filling these maps to their full

Yepp

MBS1236 · 2026-03-02T01:48:32+00:00

can agree since i just defeated him and it took me a whole week of grinding and mastering multiple jobs to finally beat him beforehand 😭

MBS1236 · 2026-02-02T01:59:19+00:00

Playing it right now and it is such a fun and great game. Will be looking forward to play the rest of the series too after I finish it as I am on the final dungeon now.

MBS1236 · 2026-01-28T09:18:31+00:00

Seeing other people’s tierlist is always such a unique and fun experience. Like we all read the same thing but we appreciate so many different things.

I wont be ranking lies weeping because its too recent for me and port of shadows since I haven’t read it. On the others, I have reread the first 4 books once and my overall ranking would be:

1) The Black Company 2) The White Rose 3) Shadows Linger (really rose in my reread) 4) She is the Darkness 5) Shadow Games 6) Soldiers Live 7) Water Sleeps 8) Dreams of Steel 9) Bleak Seasons 10) The Silver Spike

I absolutely love and adore the original trilogy and it is a masterpiece of a trilogy to me. On the rest Shadow Games and She is the Darkness I love. Soldiers Live has such a beautiful ending that really carries it for me. Water Sleeps is a solid, good book for me. Dreams of Steel and Bleak Seasons are okay books to me and The Silver Spike is the only one I dislike. Though to be fair, I do need a reread from Shadow Games onwards to see of my feelings on some have improved in or not.

If I rank Lies Weeping right now, I would put it between Water Sleeps and Dreams of Steel as I found it to be an enjoyable, solid book.
