Phantasy Star (OT: Japanese フ ァ ン タ シ ー ス タ ー , Fantashī Sutā ) on the Sega Master System was one of the first role-playing games that was also published for a game console in Western countries (e.g. in the USA and many European countries).
Sega entered into competition with Square ( Final Fantasy ) in the late 1980s . Phantasy Star 1 offered outstanding graphics for the time.
Phantasy Star I to IV appeared on the master system successor Sega Mega Drive , a temporarily very successful " MMORPG " spin-off called Phantasy Star Online appeared in 2001 for the Dreamcast game console . In 2006, another online title in the Phantasy Star series appeared: Phantasy Star Universe .
Plot and togetherness
In contrast to many other role-playing series, there is a multi-part story arc in Phantasy Star, also known as the “Phantasy Star Trilogy”, which is made up of parts 1, 2 and 4. Every 1000 years they tell the story of the Algol solar system, its planets and inhabitants.
Phantasy Star IV should actually be the third part, due to extensive game mechanics changes during development, the development was delayed so much that a separate team from Sega developed Phantasy Star III. This is also very different from the previous parts and has only little reference to Phantasy Star II. Nevertheless, Phantasy Star III - Generations of Doom is an indirect precursor to Phantasy Star Online.
