Man, I can see myself in 1988 as 10 years old kid getting my mind blown from this game. What a feat by Sega dev.
The 3D dungeons blew people's minds, and still look good even today. The animation and detail is way, way above any other RPG of the time (Most RPGs had very spartan visuals, almost no animation just still enemy sprites).
When gaming genre is still at its infancy, this game is way over its time (in a good way). I can see a lot of people getting into jrpg because of this game. Def looking to pick it up on my Switch.
I didn't understand RPG's as a small kid. American kids thought of video games as being like Mario or racing or shooting. RPG's were kind of weird and didn't go anywhere. I didn't get into them until I was 11 or 12, and it was after I realized they were telling a story, which was unprecedented to me at the time. Gamers today are spoiled hard by that thing, but 1991, it was brand new and it started a revolution so to speak.
As a dedicated retro person...the past year had been kind of surreal ...seeing so much attention to the Golden days of gaming 🤙
The switch is reminding me a lot of the PSP era. Mobile system with lots of retro game goodness. But Better IMHO.
@@WarrenCBennett Switch homebrew/CFW is also amazing already, just as with the PSP... Retroarch is getting better and better, there may even be a full speed N64 core this year!
@@steel5897 How hard it is to put homebrew on a switch and does it cut of any online functionality?
We really need an Activision classics collection of some kind with all their Atari 2600 games on Switch.
@@WarrenCBennett way easier to brick you switch, like, to the point to not to bother
And this is the defacto reason to look foward to SEGA AGES games. The ports always come out sexy.
Wow that mini-map is a gamechanger. Now it's a must buy.
I remember as a kid spending hours mapping out each dungeon with paper & pencil. Pencil incase I made a mistake which you almost always did. That was part of the charm & also the added difficulty of this game. But as an adult when I replay this game I usually just use walkthrough maps. But now I'm glad I won't have to cheat. This mini map is a huge game-changer. Love this series.
When I saw that I said the same thing. I’ll be buying this!
Yeah that 3rd or 4th dungeon is tricky lots of turn arounds. The one with the dragon at the end. Always have a map up when I'm playing
@@Drewsefer89 I did the same thing. Used graph paper and everything. Unfortunately it's been lost over the decades.I played the game again recently and I was surprised at how many of the dungeons I could make it through just from memory.
It's also very spoilery unfortunately, due to it revealing secret walls that you're only meant to find by experimentation.
Phantasy star with auto map is now definitively the best 8 bit jrpg ever made
It is the best 8-bit RPG ever made regardless of the auto map.
@@auschwitzwelcomecommittee3593 The map is definitely a huge addition, but I can't imagine how much fun kids had drawing these maps back in the day like in Metroid II.
Nah dq3 for me.
Try playing it in 1987 without the internet. That's what I did, you learned to navigate the dungeons by memorization or graph paper. Explored until you figured out where you needed to go. The size and scale of the game was unbelievable back then. It has influenced all of my RPG playing for the past 20-years now.
I recall that last dungeon where you faced the last boss, I spent days trying to trigger that fight.
*spaced for spoiler*

It was later I found out you had to take a step forward and then rotate left and right to find the final door (you had to look directly at it, it didn't show up in normal walking like side corridors did).
I still have my maps I made of this game from then.
Dungeons were very easy to map on graph paper, tho not so much the overworld.
I miss the 8 and 16 bit days of gaming, where everything had to be figured out on your own.
Man those dungeons were tough as nails. Especially the last one. Me and my brother used to call Sega’s hintline at 1-800-USA-SEGA and they sent us hints and I think even maps for Phantasy Star for free. That hintline was a life saver back in the day!
Kelsey Daniels same here... 1-800-USA-SEGA was a daily occurrence for me.
@@lazarushernandez5827 Games like Etrian Odyssey and Persona have kept this genre of DRPG and map drawing alive, they were what got me interested in Phantasy Star (played the online and the DS Zero) and I loved it! Challenging, great music, amazing concept! Can't wait for SEGA AGES ports of the rest hopefully, would kill for a physical release too
Wow the FM sound is awesome for an 8 bit console.
Stupid move to leave the FM out of US release.
Right?
FYI, I'm currently working on a translation from the developers right now where they mentioned that the FM sound being left out of the English version was a space constraint.
Yeah. It seemed to be a thing, back then, to do that for Western released versions of consoles. I wonder if there was a specific historical issue that caused that. I wonder if it holds a mystique like Atari did with their 2600 when they bought up all those people who made certain microprocessors, at the time, to dominate the hardware market.
@@Oni_Dino So if I mod my Master System with the FM board, Phantasy Star won't play the FM sound? :(
@@stucazzo2000 Only the Japanese version, or the SMS Power retranslation via a flashcart. www.smspower.org/Translations/PhantasyStar-SMS-EN
Now this would be a great game for a full blown remake.
There is one. It was only released in Japan.
@@SpoonyBard88 no way what system??
@@flickboogers9325 PlayStation 2
Basically the first JRPG with a female main character that is quite cool. Something kinda rare even nowadays.
Ninja it was such an important game in many ways. It definitely put Sci-fi more on the map, for a role-playing experience. I also like how this is the game which colors so much of the lore and story for the entire Phantasy Star Universe to follow. Playing this game is like playing the Legend, first hand, that the future games reflect back on. I always like to think of Phantasy Star as the Universe built upon the legend of Alis Landale.
so true most games have male lost memories or rescue a princess person or item of importance
And yet sjws complain nowadays like there never was any 😂
I mean, it is fantasy. Here you can make-believe that girls are strong etc
Not only the game was revolutionary in many ways, here in Brazil there's an extra topic of importance: Phantasy Star was the very first RPG to be translated to Brazilian Portuguese. In fact, it was the ONLY RPG in Portuguese in the 8bit era.
This was the first RPG I ever played. Looking forward to playing it again.
This game was so ahead of Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy, in fact - I thought those games were sub standard after this, took FF6 to get me on that series!
Now phantasy star 1-4 are on switch
I'd like to see a proper Phantasy Star V. Not online, or MMO or whatever the current fad is nowadays. I'd like a single player RPG experience.
@@homiedclown same it seems like the single player experiance isn't as valued as it used to be
@@Xelbooru and that's unfortunate, because I can't stand online gaming. All the MMO's like Wow, and online shooters like PubG or Fortnite do nothing for me...can't stand em.
@@Xelbooru because to large companies with greedy investors online experiences are more profitable. As you can squeeze more money out of players, you can force them to go to the next one at anytime by killing the servers, etc. So despite what they say about the gaming community not wanting single player experiences, which is bullshit as most of the top selling games are all single player God of war, Mario Odyssey, Breath of the wild, etc. It's pure investor greed nothing more, nothing less.
Where? I can only find the first one
Thank you for reviewing this game & giving it some love. This was my first RPG ever & it is a great game. I agree with you on the music. The FM sound chip sounds better but the bleep & bloops without it gives it that classic sound & feel that personally I enjoy so much more. Definitely a nostalgia game & I'm really glad it's on Switch. And that mini map makes it so much better. Though I'll miss the days of mapping out dungeons with paper & pencil.
I've had this for almost month. Phantasy Star I think is one of the three pillars of the Jrpg genre with Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy. I just wish they cleaned up the translation. Not to mention you can now play the Phantasy star 1-4 on the switch with the Genesis collection. Phantasy Star 4 being the best of the series
SGC i got it just for phantasy 2 thru 4.
I believe the collection only has 2-4.
Sadly the latest release only has PS 2-4. Which is frustrating as 1 was an unlockable on the previous Sega compilation on 360/ps3. (And don't get me started on no Ecco or Eternal Champion)
The collection on the Xbox 360 and the PS3 I thought if you beat Phantasy Star 4 it unlocks Phantasy Star 1
But to the original poster man yeah man I cannot agree more Dragon Quest Final Fantasy and Phantasy Star were like the things in the late eighties early nineties
The best RPG ever made. If it were on the NES instead of the SMS, the franchise would be bigger than Final Fantasy.
Then the graphics and would would be worse then the original release, Also would be stupid to put their game on a competing platform.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves now.
It's good, but I still put Shining Force over it by a bit.
Saying that NES "dominated the world" is very misleading, just because Nintendo was the dominant plataform in the US and Japan doesn't mean that that was the case everywhere. Here in Spain, for example, nobody cared about Nintendo until the SNES came, it was all Sega and microcomputers.
Phantasy Star still remains as my most favorite RPG of all time.
Simply Amazing. I would love if they re-launched this classic with 2 or 3 new Worlds to explore and revamp the graphics. On the Nintendo Switch.
Thanks for reviewing this game. I had been planning to play the OG Phantasy Star games and was going to play this one on the Phantasy Star Collection for the GBA before seeing your review. Decided to get this version and play it on the Switch instead and had blast. Just finished it last night and I definitely enjoyed the quality of life improvements: the increased walking speed, dungeon map, and the item list were all a great boon to my experience. For a game from 1987 I was continuously impressed with the ideas and techniques implemented in this game and can't wait to get started on the sequels.
I've played a lot of Phantasy Star 2 on my phone and I really like it, even though it can be a little grind-heavy.
3:41 I like the Master System / Game Gear sound too.
I am so happy to see a review of this game in the present.
From what I've heard AtlusUSA made a retranslation of it some time ago, odd how they didn't use that.
The auto mapping feature looks amazing. The 3D AGES remake had that too but you had to buy an expensive item and it only lasted a few minutes.
I bought this last weekend. It's not on the sega collection that dropped two weeks ago, so it fills a hole in my collection on the Switch. Perfect timing.
Man, 10000%. I gotta listen to the non-FM music. Grew up playing that sucker so much.
This is one of the first games I ever bought for my Sega Master System. I couldn't wait to get my hands on it after seeing a commercial for it on a Detroit tv station from my home in Windsor, Ontario. I remember there was no hint book or guides back then. It took me FOREVER to figure out how to get the passport at the beginning of the game by going into the second-hand shop in Scion and purchasing the "secrets." You had to go in and out of that second-hand shop 3 times before he gives you the passport. And, YES, I remember trying to plot out the dungeons on paper and getting all turned around if you fell through a trap in the floor. Those were the good ol' days!!! I'm even old enough (48) to remember playing King's Quest III "To Heir is Human" on 3 floppy disks at my friends house on his computer. That was a frustrating game too. But they finally came out with a hint book that had rectangular boxes and you could use a special clear marker to make the hints appear. I still have a Master System and Phantasy Star. I just ordered the A/V cable for it and hooked it up and couldn't believe that my games from like 30 years ago were still saved on the cartridge!!!!!
Really appreciated this review, I think I'll pick the game up
It's 25% off on the eShop atm. Going to buy it now!
There´s a lot of good memories on this game.
I was 10 when this game was released and I grew up playing Phantasy Star, I played on Master System, Genesis using the power base, PS2 and now on Nintendo Switch.
I don´t remember how many times I finished it, my first RPG and the best game ever.
A quick note, the Master System may have had better sound where FM units and add ons were sold overseas, but the stock sound is god awful compared to the NES’ sound.
Agreed.
That's subjective. There's tons of other examples of games with great music. You're just not a fan of the bleeps & bloops. If you didn't grow up with it then you probably won't like it. It's a thing of its time.
Drewsefer89 it’s not subjective, it’s got better technical specs, more channels for sound, more frequencies.
Drewsefer89 additionally I enjoy the master system. I have nearly half the library as it released here in NA, so I definitely appreciate it. I just don’t have those rose tinted glasses/headphones and can recognize the faults the system has which was definitely the sound chip.
Ya, it's hard for me to get passed the awful sound the SMS had (sans FM). I also didn't like the SMS controller, it is so hard to keep walking a straight line as the slightest movement of my thumb would move the character in a slightly different direction.
The original Phatasy Star was not my favorite game, nor my first game. It was my first RPG, and what solidified me as a gamer going on 30 years later.
I was iffy about purchasing this game, but it's in my blood. I've tried to replay it over the years, and it's a tough game. Modern games seldom show this level of difficulty. Part of my hesitation to buy this game. But with Sega Ages mode, the map. It might be nice to go back again. Experience the new music.
"Blast processing" LOL. Best marketing ever.
My brother just played through Phantasy Star IV here, so this game kinda interests me, especially seeing that this features characters and events that Phantasy Star IV references.
With the addition of the minimap and item list when you pause the game, really makes the game so much better to the point where I was able to enjoy this game and call it one of my favorite RPGs of all time 😊 on to 2,3,4 now
The FM version sounds better with the exception of the battle theme. It sounds a little too busy with the additional sounds and I miss the heavy drums from the American version.
@GameXplain, one question: how did you bypass the game from saving when you simply pause it? Do you not pause the game at all and save only with the "A" button? Wondering how you did that, as I'm sick of the game saving over my manual save every time I pause it. This is such a great year for retro games. The maps make such a *huge* difference. Wish this version was getting a physical release, though.
I've always been a HUGE Phantasy Star fan... PSIV is my favorite game of all time. But I never finished this one or II. The features in this version are AMAZING. I'm almost done the game right now, and it's been a blast. But wow, I can't imagine playing it without the map feature, more money for kills, and faster movement speed...
Seeing as I haven't seen too many people talking about it: Puyo Puyo AND Puyo Puyo 2 have been announced to be getting the Sega Ages treatment, after a Puyo Puyo tournament this month. They are going to be the Arcade versions with added online play.
Besides those two titles, we also know that the following will be coming out soon: Out Run (January 10th is supposedly when it will be coming), Alex Kidd in Miracle World, Gain Ground, Space Harrier, Columns II, Thunder Force AC (or III, if you prefer), Sonic 2 and Virtua Racing.
This looks like a fantastic port. Awesome to see that so much love went into it. And fantastic review!
the map is for sure a gamechanger. makes me want to play the game again
Excellent review!! Thank you. Can you do a Genesis Collection review too? Every review I've seen from other major sites (hell yeah GX is major), isn't mentioning the serious lag issues.
great review. do all Sega Ages Switch releases have neat improvements like this? i was assuming you'd be paing premium prices for just old roms. lol
-1 correction. NES didn't dominate the world. It won out in US and Japanese markets. Most other countries didn't even see the console and the Master System was the go-to console which is why most gamers outside of the US wound up getting a Megadrive and never gave the SNES a second look
Alis Landale for Smash
I hope Alis make it into Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
The sequel to this was my first rpg. I don’t think I ever got that far in the game, but the music still brings a wave of nostalgia.
This review just sold me on the game. Great job!
Wow. I've always wanted there to be a re-release that included the GM soundtrack. Before the only way to play with that soundtrack with English text was fan from hacks.
Definitely explains where Etrian Odyssey got some of its Inspiron from.
A bit disappointed that they didn't give us the graphically updates version from the sega ages version they had for the ps2 version of the sega ages collection the have in japan. The secon one also has an updated version but I bet if they release it we would get the vanilla version too.
Yeah, lack of an improved translation is the only thing keeping this from being definitive for me. The Retranslation stands as the best version still even despite the automap.
Good on them for these updates. I will be playing it through again, with this version and a mapping system to boot.
Maybe someday SEGA will realize what bedrock series they have and decide to reawaken universal support for the Phantasy Star Series.
It’s always odd when SEGA releases a bonifide stellar game like PS4 and then drop it like a hot rock. Nowadays, releases of the old classics are all the West gets, nowadays.
The backdrops were not animated but the sprites were
I liked both the Classic Phantasy Star & Phantasy Star Online series.
looks stunning, had no idea about all the cool features!
We need a master system mini.
My neighbor had a master system and the sound was terrible. We played his NES instead. So many memorable times with awesome music and sound in my opinion.
I played Phantasy Star on my GameBoy Advance. Even all those years later it was a compelling experience. That said, I'm with you - I'd have dearly loved to have legal, English language access to Phantasy Star Generations, the PS2 version you mentioned.
4:41 How the hell did they get “Owl Bear” from “Devil Bat” (デビルバット)???
So THAT’S how many HP Darkfalz has... man he was hard to beat back in the day.
I remember playing the GBA-Port, that also came with the seconmd and third game. That was in 2004, I think.
For the first game, you really needed a map, because the dungeons became just convulted later on and even then you could get lost if you stepped into pit tile. This port? Forget traps or getting lost and never finding out of a dungeon. Just use the map and happy dungeonm crawling. It's a much needed improvement.
My first RPG and it changed my life.
Loved this game. My first time with any Phantasy Star was Phantasy Star 4 in the mid-90s and I love that game and I've loved the series ever since
I'll be downloading this game for the Switch cheaper than buying an original SMS cart. I didn't grow up playing the SMS and have never played the system. I love FF series so an reg that is similar this game I think I'll enjoy for years to come.
Great video but you made some mistakes here. The Sega Master System released in 1986 not 1985. While it absolutely dominates the Nes in graphical capabilities it falls short in the sound department.
I already have the "standard versions" on my Wii U and PS3 on Sega Genesis Collection. I'm contemplating whether or not I should give it another shot. The mini-map feature does seem very helpful, so we'll see. Thanks for the review.
The SMS did not actually have "better" sound than the NES, in the US that is.... I kinda like it better from a nostalgia standpoint though.
"NES would go to dominate the world.." not entirely, The Master system found great success in the UK and Brazil and outsold the NES big time. Granted when it comes to gaming the UK was it's own odd unique little bubble for many years. (And kinda fascinating) heck the Sega ages thing likely came from the slogan Sega used in the UK "to be this good takes Ages to be this good takes Sega"
My first RPG, we used to draw out maps ourselves on cardboard.
I genuinely prefer the music without the FM sound system. So no, the Japanese sound track is not "Objectively better", you could the sound quality is objectively better, but not the sound track itself. Music is purely subjective, i personally love loads of LoFi noise music, which is purposefully made to have objectively low sound quality, but the music isn't objectively worse or better than any music. Music is complexly subjective. Awh whatever, anyways I'm a total sucker for crunchy 8 bit instruments, didn't grow up with this game, infact i wasn't even born when it came out so i hold not nostalgia for the older soundtrack, but i love it anyways
I bought this game just before nintendo shut down payment on the wii shop channel.
This is a great old school hard jrpg. Still got some of my graph maps of some of the more complex maps.
The upgrades in this switch port look great, I hope sega can do this with Shining in the Darkness which is a first person dungeon crawling game from the tatical rpg series, Shining Force.
Yo! I do get a kick out of making maps and putting up with challenges but... sometimes things should be toned down a notch.
I played it for the first time this year and I really loved it. I hope they'll release sega ages versions of the sequels as well.
Just finished it for the second time in my life!
Incredible!!!
My first jrpg ever
Great review, stranger! Do more! 😁
I still have my SMS cart, tho it can't hold save anymore.
I may have to pick this up for the Switch :D
I always would try to play these older phantasy star games and could never get into them cause of the monster encounter rate. This ages version makes it so much friendlier and I haven't stopped playing
The map feature is the big factor in me wanting to get this game. I the lack of the map and the dungeon was why I ended up not playing it until now. I bought this version of the game on February 1st its original price is $7.99 was on sale for $5.99 and with using my gold coins I payed $2.50 for it.
it kicked Final Fantasys ass back then and it still does today
Sometimes I think 3/4 of gamexplain are bigger Sega than Nintendo fans.
@Dizzy Gear I recently played Phantasy Star IV, loved it however while the story presentation is very good for the time, the story itself it's simple, there are rpg's on Snes with better plots and don't get me started on PS1 and beyond. Not sure about the first 3 games because I have not played them.
@@oscarzxn4067 A complex story doesn't mean it's better... The DQ serie is simple but great
I am cool cause I am skipping my bed time
I can't go to sleep yet, because we are looking at Christmas lights tonight! And the sun doesn't go down until late, because I'm in Australia where Christmas is always warm or hot, but never cold, especially white!
Whoah cool guy zone
Enjoy your time not being an adult, kiddo.
That's really cool, you're cool.
Not good for the heart
Good thing that you stretched the 4:3 to widescreen.
I think I somehow accidentally deleted the laconian axe. Are there any phantasy star experts out there who know if I can get it back? Im not even sure how it got deleted.
The best rpg series. Playing it now in original. Want to come back to 2, 3 and 4 on Switch. Love everything about them
The master system was awesome, with some great games that people even in the retro world forget all too often. Teddy Boy ftw!
Yeah, this is a superb release. I've not been able to bring myself to play the Sega Ages mode as I wanted to (re)-play the game as it was designed, albeit without the need to have grid paper and a pencil to hand (I tried it with a tablet and a spreadsheet with the PS3 release, but it was simply a nightmare). The only thing that really bothered me about this version with the automap is that the map doesn't just plot your route but it also marks out secrets that you haven't found yet. But the game runs smoothly, the ability to play with the FM sound chip in the International version is great, the scanline + chromatic aberration + TV curvature screen shader looks great and the added "run" key (which speeds up the game but, critically, not the music) is an absolute boon.
i hope they do this with 2 to 4 as well
I was wondering if this release would include the Japanese audio. I'm very happy to hear that it does and will definitely pick this one up in the future
The Map option looks like Etrian Odyssey :D
The Master System dominated Europe, the NES was a rare site over here.
man why is your version playing so fast? When they walk...not so much anywhere else..
so SOOO much better than the gba port where there was a bug where the game would crash when u tried to save 1 out of every 10 times or so (really it was random but it seemed about that to me)
The music!
I prefer the non fm sound music
I haven’t liked any 8-bit jrpgs but I played an hour of this and am digging it. Might beat it and continue with the series if it keeps grabbing me.
This looks like the most fleshed out AGES release on Switch so far. It's like it has all the guides you'd need built on. Hoping for Saturn soon..
Well... Sadly...
Is the Mega Drive version of Phantasy Star has same graphics from the original or is it different but close to the graphics like PS2 not looking like Saturn like Graphics but Genesis like graphics?
Because both are Japanese and not a lot of videos or prove the Mega Drive is different graphics are different.
I would hardly say the Japanese soundtrack is "objectively" better. I didn't grow up with this game but when I played a fan translation of Phantasy Star a few years ago, which allowed you to switch between the two soundtracks, I much preferred the US music over the FM soundtrack, even if it is technically inferior.
Never played this before, but I did download it as I've good things about this series before, and I am already a Dragon Quest fan.
I would get this version for the nice additions alone, looks great as well on Switch
I sometimes confuse Phantasy Star with Shining Force, even though one's a tactical RPG with mythological creatures and the other is a standard RPG with a bit of Sci-Fi. With that said, I think I'll give this a shot sometime!
Also, a teacher from school which we used to visit during those days had a Sega Mark III, with a copy of Fantasy Zone. I only remembered that game for being a defender style game, it's level 1 theme for the most part and being very difficult. I did not know what the name of it was and did not see again for over a decade, until Screwattack did a video on it. And finding out it was available on the Wii Virtual Console, I decided to buy it. I hope that game makes it to the Switch as well, even if it's the original arcade version which is probably the overall better version. But in my eyes, Super Fantasy Zone for the Sega Mega Drive is the best!
I played Phantasy Star for the first time when I was 14/15 years old in 1997, ten years from the game's debut, but even back then, the game felt dated. But, seeing the Sega Ages version above with all the extras added, I'm buying it.
Phantasy Star is a great series the same team made my favorite JRPG of all time for Dreamcast and an expanded version on GameCube, and that game was Skies of Arcadia(Dreamcast) / Skies of Arcadia Legends(GameCube)
Best freaking JRPG ever. Well worth a play today!
I only comment to say that Dragon Quest is my favorite JRPG series. So this being their answer to Dragon Quest or Dragon Warrior originally in the U.S. Dragon Quest beats Phantasy Star.
Dragon Quest 11 is finally releasing on the Switch later this year. I already own it on PC, but that series deserves the sales and I will definitely be buying it again, and will get the collectors edition if its good and keep it sealed & buy/play the eShop version.
I hope SE remakes/ports the DS/3DS DQ games especially 5&8 at the very least. All of them if they can only one I don't like is 7.
I also really hope Sega remasters or at the very least ports Skies of Arcadia. Too many kids have missed out on such an awesome JRPG. The latest game that team made was Valkyria Chronicles 4.
In the original Valkyria Chronicles you can recruit Vyse & Aika the 2 main characters of Skies of Arcadia.
It would be awesome to have SoA remastered with Valkyria Chronicles art style. The color pencil art style would look good in that game. I would also buy that as collectors edition to keep sealed, regular boxed edition, and Nintendo eShop to maybe spur them to make the Skies of Arcadia sequal they had planned but scrapped due to poor sales.
If you never played download dolphin & get the skies of arcadia legends Rom for GameCube. You'll love it I promise!
