This channel is lowkey one of the best on KZread. I don't normally finish a video and think the creator deserves more subscribers. On this channel I do. Excellent work.

I love how they show everyone fighting but the music makes it sound like they die. It leaves you to wonder if they survive the attack or if that's Rolf thinking his last thought before passing

My interpretation is that after the credits, you see their ship fly by... But I also think when you take into account the trilogy of 1, 2, and 4 (3 is its own thing), the events of 4 heavily imply that the Terrans of Earth were defeated. Even if the party dies, they still destroyed the ship Noah. But the 1000 year gap between each of the aforementioned games really leave it up to interpretation, and when Chaz receives the sword in the Esper Mansion, when he sees the heroes of the past, it does suggest they may have died.

Does their ship fly by in the remake? Because the only thing I saw after the credits was a lens flare effect of some light cresting the planet.

@@OniBlackMage so. I haven’t played ps2 in a decade to be fair. 25 years ago, playing it as a 10 year old, the lens flare came across as the ship to me. Personally I can’t get beyond the inferior music and art style of the playstation 2 remake to look into it, though I know there is a way to revive Nei after you get to Dezolis in the remake. It’s a long and involved side quest though. But I still believe the ending is intentionally ambiguous, especially since nothing ever claims Chaz is a descendant of Rolf or Alis.

@@OniBlackMage sorry for 2nd reply… I watched a video of the credit scroll, and as the end pops up, there is about 3 frames of something moving as from the lens flare. I always hopefully saw that as the ship. But it is 3 elongated stacked hexagons.

I'm fairly sure the implication is that they all die, but manage to stop the Earthlings. I haven't found any official information (from official supplemental material or future games) on how they die, though. There's only two ways it could happen, far as I can tell; they fought to their last breath but managed to take down most of the Earthlings, or they somehow destroyed the ship and died due to the aftermath
Jesus. Well, that ending is awesome.
4:45 You actually went through the trouble of getting the unique Nei scene. That's dedication

I never knew that scene was even possible. I did know you could use Moon Dew to revive her and finish the fight with a full party, but I'm impressed Sega was thorough enough to forsee someone overleveling Nei enough to solo the fight.

@@Varizen87 I went that route, you can level up faster if you go against blastoids that duplicate themselves with a perfect copy if you deboost one and have it one strike away from its demise, its copy too will be deboosted and one strike away. You can then fight the same fight for half an hour and stack up the XP (don't over do it though, I think that after 14 thousand XP or 34 thousand there is a roll back and you lose your grinding session ^^ )
I think every kid has that first "JRPG experience" that blows their mind and sticks with them for years to come, which all other RPGs will be compared to. PS2 was mine. What an amazing game to get that first emotional attatchment to. It's considered too grindy, confusing, and unplayable by today's standards, but for me, PS2's difficulty was what I considered "standard." I played through it once, with the hint book of course, then two more times without it as I had remembered most of the details. I played it for a 3rd time about 20 years later without the book or walkthroughs, but by then I had forgotten the trickier dungeons like Green Dam, Climate Control, and the Dezo temples. What a great game. The story is movie-worthy.

I played the GBA compilation No hint book. The grinding is tough, not because it's repetitive but because there's so little money. Man I wasn't used to that concept then. Then the dungeons being a struggle because they're kinda confusing. Some day I want to play some version of this game and finish it. Or use a faq. Because it does look awesome.
The ending of this game shocked me when I initially played it ages ago

Advancements in AI are making this game look more and more scarily prescient.
How doesn't Oni Black Mage not have subscribers in the millions is beyond me.
the ending is cool. Kinda wish the character were more fleshed out tbh. I played through PSIV and couldn't get into this one because it was too slow so here I am.
Amazing video, thank you. I had no idea there was a bandit story at the start of the game, let alone 70% of the other characters. I've only gotten up to the dam section in a play through but this makes me want to go back.
I swear I've seen this summary before and I'll watch it again next year if I see it reposted. Good work Love the original Phantasy Star franchise!
This was the first RPG I ever owned and played. I had no idea what I was doing but somehow with the little players guide that game with the Genesis version I got pretty far. Sadly I never beat it, both because its so hard and so tedious. In a lot of ways it was ahead of it's time, yet it remains a flawed, but very pretty gem.
Time for another exciting adventure in the Endless Universe of Phantasy Star! 🎉🎉🎉
Gerat work man! Keep it up!
Thank you so much for these, for all the games I don't have time to play your anyways the for us. I really hope that you can keep this going for a long while.!!
That ending left me annoyed. Like, who wins? Our heroic party, or the people of Earth? Somebody please give us Phantasy Star V!
I love that game, even now despite its flaws, I enjoy seeing it and sometimes playing it every couple of years. Your recap makes the story sound strange and indeed from a linear view, the story is strange: action takes place without necessarily understand the why and the how as for the destruction of the satelite and you although you are proactive, you witness many wrong points of this mother brain skewed "perfect society" In the end, this is what I like so much about the game : its world building, nothing is really in the main story explained simply but the town people show you how useless they feel in a society where they have no goals, - the ominous music in the clone lab or the cheerfull music in the data center give those character an etra personnality that is told through sound and not text -The world ennemy changing from biomonsters to robots and all I love PSIV but the "open world" of PSII had gave me more space to think about the society, even the ending is open for interpretation and gives us food for thoughts. with such a lore, I know there is material for a PSV
I didn't know psII was this FIRE. I'm even more upset that the pso games are supposedly completely disconnected
What in the fuck is with that ending!?!? lmao
how efficient does this guy work omg I need to watch him work sometime
So Phantasy Star III is next? Good luck covering all endings!

2 of the endings are functionally the same. I've gotten 3 out of 4. Sean, Cris, and Ayan. I got them on the PSP collection using the ability to have additional saves of the game with 2 saves within the game, and I also got 1 ending on the original genesis version. But if you ARE doing ending hunting... PSP Genesis collection is the way to go.
Awesome
Rolf's eyes fool the brain of Rolf.
In the 90s I never knew about the Earthmen. I got through Noah's Ark and destroyed Dark Force. I refused, however, to destroy Mother Brain, because before Dark Force got involved she had actually done an admirable job of caring for Algol.
Now we just recap of the 3rd game.
The cloning joker merchant always creeped me out, paired with the ominous music.

for me it was a cloning ugly gran mother,I think in japanese they also say she is a cloning baba but yeah, the ominous music is great and foreshadows that the worrld isn't as perfect asit seems to be I loved that world building :)
the saddest game moment came in this title. we always pronounced it "nee uh." such a bittersweet ending!
Great story, now you don’t have to play it I’ve finished it three times since it’s release. It’s a grind.

Excellent video as always, extremely informative. But I wish you would make more longer form recaps 30min+, in which you don't speak as fast lol. So I could put them on while gaming or studying.
What do you mean by recapitation? Are you meaning recapitulation? Is it a mix word of something?portmanteau

It is a portmanteau of Recapitulation and Decapitation 👍
Nintendo needs to port over all the Sega ages version of theses games right now I am playing one Really enjoying this games😊 now I know why Happy Console Gamer preached about this series so much😮 wish I had known about it back in the day😊
It kind of amazes me that despite being on more powerful hardware, and a much larger cart, the pixel art in this game is notably worse than the first. Just look at the intro scene of the original and then this and it is easy to see there is a staggering decline in detail in this game. I do love this game, but you can tell that it was rushed and some of the thinking behind it, like the intentionally brain-numbing, ultra-frustrating dungeons is really bizarre.
Still waiting for Recap Story of Star Ocean Second Story and Tales of Eternia.. Only then i will subscribe my Accounts on you.
