Abnormal Mapping 141: Phantasy Star 1-4

On this very special episode Em is joined by Dia Lacina and Emrys to talk about Sega’s iconic JRPG franchise Phantasy Star. We talk about the banging soundtrack, the innovations it brings to the genre, and the ways it has been forgotten by time. Because it’s four games, it’s a little lighter than usual, but it was great to settle in and talk about these truly fantastic games.For reference, the versions of Phantasy Stars Em used and recommends:Sega Ages Phantasy Star for Nintendo SwitchPhantasy Star II Improvement by FlamePurgePhantasy Star III Retranslated by R.
