Just wanting to interject: If you can play FF6 or Chrono Trigger, then you can play PS4. It's on that level and I highly recommend it. Easily the best RPG on the Genesis, one of the top for the 16-bit era and has aged super well to boot. Plus it covers the lore of the other 3.

If you're not interested, then you're not interested; just thought I'd try to sell it a bit. It's an incredible game.

Are the PSs like the FF series in that each numerical entry doesn't require knowledge of the previous?

They are not standalone games in terms of continuity, but Phantasy Star IV ensures you know the relevant details of the previous games, so you don't need to touch I-III at all except out of possibly morbid curiosity (they have aged far, far less gracefully than IV has).

Hi all! Glad you're happy with this AC Scratch collection. I'll let the team know about the Wren fashion/cosmetics. Are there any other character outfits you'd like to see?

You can kinda cobble together most series characters with what we have, but there's still no great way to make Mieu, Alys Brangwyn, Amy Sage (we need a really good cloak and tunic for females), Raja and Gryz (where the og motavian and dezorian features?) so let those be my suggestions :).

I dunno if they'd undermine a potential progression with that, but it'd be interesting to see if Lavis Cannon could eventually become a Lavis Cannon N (or G). Frankly, I'd rather they offer some-- even if premium-- route to convert the clothes more than anything, as the clothes had cost real money to some people, but that doesn't appear to be the route they are taking so far.

Just as there were old-types and new-types, there will probably be genesis-type versions of the weapons. I really wouldn't invest super hard in transferring anything at all between the two besides accessories, which are thus far the only transfers without significant caveat.

Basically, NGS is a new game entirely and they intend to have NGS versions of most everything eventually.

@Master_OrHan I'm honestly surprised at the lack of Wren here. Him, Rolf and Nei are basically the quintessential figures of Phantasy Star-- the human, the numan, the cast-- so it's weird how there's no fashion available to cosplay him alongside this.

Not that I'm complaining about the PS3 representation with Rhys' top (but not his pants?) but Wren should have totally taken priority.

Nei Claw comes from Phantasy Star 3; It is Mieu's ultimate weapon.

The explanation given in PS3 is that "Nei is a word of power" and so those weapons were enchanted with that word to become powerful enough to destroy Dark Falz. I'm not sure if it ever had anything to do with Nei herself, or if it was meant to be some background information behind why Nei series numan and the Nei weapons in PS2 existed. But honestly? I forgot PS2 had Nei weapons as well and don't recall if any explanation in that game was given for them.

Think of NGS as a totally separate game. That it's attached to PSO2 means very little.

Did we not just have a topic about this

I'm generally pleased, despite the bumps in the road we've had along the way.
