All of them are very easily accessible, as they are available via Steam, in Sega Genesis Collection for the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable, Sonic’s Ultimate Genesis Collection on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and Phantasy Star Collection for the Game Boy Advance and Sega Saturn. They involve planets from a single solar system, though Phantasy Star III gets a little creative. Each one is a self-contained, single-player adventure. The Phantasy Star games got started as traditional, turn-based JRPGs. But in each installment, there is a very high chance that the major antagonist is evil itself. It goes by Dark Force, Dark Falz and Dark Phallus, depending on the game. In each game, the big bad is this concept personified. There is also the trend of evil being an actual physical force. Things start small, with fights against small scale baddies, before ballooning into influential battles with far greater stakes. This group heads out to fight monsters for the good of the world.
There are also the Numans, referred to as Newmans in recent entries, which are hybrids genetically engineered to possess traits from humans and biomonsters.įrom Phantasy Star IV on, there is also the notion of a guild to which warriors belong. Robots appear, with CASTS being the newest name for them, while the original game focused only on androids and robots.

They are all futuristic RPGs set in a world where space travel is possible. I’m talking even the ones that appeared all the way back on the Master System through the more recent MMORPGs and action-RPGs. There are plenty of connections between all of the games. Wouldn’t it be nice if things were simplified, so you could better understand what’s going on? Hey! Look! It is a Phantasy Star guide! How convenient.
The newer ones vary between MMOs and action-RPGs. There are so many different kinds of games in this series, but they all get tossed under the same umbrella.
