Phantasy Star (1987)

SEGtember continues with a look at the groundbreaking Phantasy Star (1987) for the Sega Mark III/Sega Master System! Jeremy Parmentier and Kyle VonKubik explore this classic JRPG, from its impressive graphics and Star Wars influences to Sega's decision to feature a female protagonist in 1987. Meanwhile, Kyle can’t seem to get past the owlbears in the first area. In this episode, they’ll chat about how Phantasy Star tried to make waves the same week as Final Fantasy, just a year after Dragon Quest (1986). Is it an overlooked, albeit difficult, gem? Or is Kyle just terrible at it? Maybe both? Tune in to find out! ONE RAD PODCAST is made possible by the members of ⁠⁠ONE RAD CLUB⁠⁠.
