Talk:Phantasy Star (video game)

Characters

Made a new section outlining the characters in Phantasy Star. Hope this make it a bit better, hope to add some pictures when I figure out how to do it. I didn't know if the spoiler warning was really necessary, but Dark Force isn't even known about until the end of the game, so I figured better safe than sorry.

Response to planetary system

Thanks 4 including my section on the Algol Solar system... it does look better with the rest of the PS stuff.

Algol planetary system

I wrote a longer, more informative article about the Algol planetary system and made that the main article for the Fictional universe section. It still seems incomplete, though, so I would very much appreciate improvements (my work could always use a few). ;-) Celzrro 16:13, July 27, 2005 (UTC)

Renaming this article

In an effort to standardize videogame articles, I propose moving information regarding the series as a whole to a new article entitled Phantasy Star (series), while leaving information specific to the first Phantasy Star game in this article. This would improve clarity in the article and help separate information on two very different things. Let me know what you all think about this. If there are no disagreements (or nobody else says anything), I'll carry out the standardization in a few days. Celzrro 21:50, August 3, 2005 (UTC)

Release Price

I hear all of the Phantasy Star games were extremely expensive when they came out. Like 80 US dollars or something. Does anyone have a reliable source saying that it cost that?

I believe it was $69, which wasn't far off from the price of the entire SMS console. Laplacian 02:21, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Someone just changed what I believe originally stated "In the United States, Phantasy Star sold for $70.00. This made it the most expensive video game being sold at the time." to "In the United States, Phantasy Star sold for $1.00 This made it the least expensive video game being sold at the time." I'm not exactly sure if it did say $70 but obviously the $1 is false.

40hrs length in article

I've played through this game to nearly the end, and it does not seem to be 40 hours (maybe 20.) Could someone either get a good citation or remove it? Y0u | Y0ur talk page 06:34, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Rarity of Mega Drive version

Isn't the Mega Drive version quite rare? Maybe it's worth a mention. Firthy 23:25, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

Myau? A he?

As fas as I know, Myau is female. Either that or the many PS sites I visited (and even my PS cartridge) are lying to me.

Then you probably have a lying cartridge indeed. It says "When Myau eats the nut of Laerma, he ...". And in fact all sites I know lists Myau as a male.--Fogeltje 11:01, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Someone has to check the original Japanese version or the SMS Power!'s retranslation. -- Stormwatch 23:14, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Excessive copyrighted images?

I think not... 1 cover art, 1 gameplay screenshot, 1 portrait for each of the game's six key characters. Doesn't sound excessive to me at all. -- Stormwatch 23:11, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Boss

Dark Falz and Dark Force are two different translations of the same boss title (or name) "Dark Phallus". Dark Phallus is the official Romanization for these kinds of bosses as we can see in the official artwork (see also the PS Collection Romanization) and even in "Phantasy Star: At the end of the Millenium" where, for instance, PS1 DF real name is shown to be "Pro Phallus". So I think instead of having “Dark Force (Dark Falz) we should have “Dark Phallus (Dark Falz)” or “Dark Falz (Dark Phallus)” in that topic title. 217.129.240.153 (talk) 18:03, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
