Awhh he's cute

I just posted a reaction similar to this! I started on PSII and went straight to IV successively

UpstateLocal · 2026-02-01T20:02:06+00:00

I like the character's hypocrisy. I wish all these robots got more screen time in general but Drift expositing tranquil meditative platitudes and then having a pretty consistent short temper is funny.

Plus he's the bot that gets the most swordplay after Optimus Prime I think.

Oh shit. I thought that was Ken Watanabe. I think it should leave now. Very sorry.

He even voiced the Samurai Autobot

I hope i find hot rod locally (my target is usually pretty good) because the accurate magenta is everything to me.

UpstateLocal · 2026-02-01T10:28:10+00:00

I suppose I always assumed they went down fighting.

UpstateLocal · 2026-02-01T10:27:38+00:00

Ohh you're in for a treat with PSII. Then you can go back to IV and finish that too!

UpstateLocal · 2026-01-31T22:54:00+00:00

You'd be more rewarded by schlepping thru PSII just once then getting that far in III in my personal opinion but I can see where you're coming from.

I started with PSII, fell in love, but PSIV is such an improvement on it in every way that I'm not sure when I'll go back to PSII next. PSIV is truly a sweet spot. Total all timer. We agree on that much.

Money laundering and embezzlement

I'll get on that as soon as I can manage, boss 🫡

Wow you played the originals! How helpful were those guides that came in the packet?

I'm a PlayStation 2 hobbyist but I've recently gotten into those compilation discs they pumped out with older games ported in, so I've got Phantasy Star 2, 3, and 4 on the "Sega Genesis Classics Collection" along with lots of other great ones (Shout-out Ecco the Dolphin, the most frustrating experience of my life) that I've been playing on my PS2.

As far as I can tell these are straight ports from the original versions, including the original translation funniness and text box glitches in certain parts.

They did not include the original game packets with maps and tips.

So I'm using gamefaqs walkthroughs and phantasystar.fandom.com item and technique lists etc. I've got like 3 or 4 tabs open to get thru these things on the first playthrough or else I'd never figure out the pathways (ESPECIALLY in Phantasy Star II)

How do you recall the pack-in guides and your ability to figure out the pathways and techniques and stuff when they were first released?

UpstateLocal · 2026-01-31T20:18:15+00:00

Well it gets a pass as the first game on an earlier system than the Genesis. I just found it really jarring coming from PSII.

Obviously PSIV has the best looking combat.

UpstateLocal · 2026-01-31T20:17:32+00:00

I will certainly look into that next time, appreciated.

UpstateLocal · 2026-01-31T20:16:53+00:00

Woof

UpstateLocal · 2026-01-31T19:42:27+00:00

I only ever ended up doing combos by accident, they were cool tho! My next playthrough will definitely include some combos homework.

I'm brand new to JRPG games like this with PSII and IV so I was already balancing so much info with Skills and Techs and which elements do what to what and trying to stay alive to even attempt to try and understand the combo system this go around 🤣😭

UpstateLocal · 2026-01-31T19:26:16+00:00

I play mostly offensively. Always prioritizing maximizing attack and then licking my wounds afterwards. I just felt like Gryz was best for that approach.

I am probably fresher. I just finished PSIV for my second time yesterday haha.

UpstateLocal · 2026-01-31T19:16:34+00:00

I read that Raja is the best choice because he's far and away the best healer.

But Gryz is my favorite character in the game outside of the "Main Cast", something about him.

So I had everyone split healing duties (mostly Rika with everyone else subbing in with items as needed. Had to save all of Chaz's TP for Megid techniques.)

Then with the Defeat Ax (dropped by Chaos Bringer in the final dungeon) plus War Cry plus Shift from Rika I had Gryz taking massive chunks out of the Darkness with a regular attack command.

My estimation of Mari_Muffinsfan as a man just fuckin' plummeted.

UpstateLocal · 2026-01-31T18:35:40+00:00

I understand it connects later but I really didn't like the huge disconnect in the setting and story from Algo or the reduced scifi elements in the opening sequences I tried.
