Is it still worth playing?
Sega's 1993 role playing game for the Genesis, the fourth main Phantasy Star game, set on Motavia, where much of the planet has turned back into desert after a catastrophe called the Great Collapse. Mutated creatures called biomonsters are increasing, and the hunters Alys Brangwin and Chaz Ashley are hired by Piata Academy to investigate their link to the planet's ecological crisis. Exploration is overhead, and combat is turn based, with characters who have individual stats and equipment and gain levels from victories. Two things were new to the series. Combination techniques join party members' skills in battle, and the story is told in manga style panel illustrations. Fights that reward combining a party, and a story told clearly in comic panels, still make it easy to follow today.
