Bought Phantasy Star for $2 on Switch and man this game is the simplest example of why the genre is great. I just dungeon crawled to buy a cake from a cave to give to the governor of planet Motavia to convince him to help me kill the tyrant king of the solar system Lassic
I do not share your enthusiasm. Early console rpgs share an excess of enemy placement with extremely simple command structure, slow pace and cumbersome menu design, and what's even worse is the audio design. Phantasy star, Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy, megami tensei...I find all of these series were dreadful until the 1990's.
>>15113 Yeah. I have fond memories of DQ1, but when trying to replay it a few years ago, the grind felt like a waste of my time, and the soundscape didn't help. One could attribute this to the difference in how children and adults perceive time, and while I think that's partially true, it's also a consequence of artificial elongation. Still, I don't regret playing it as a kid, and I did have fun doing so back then.
>>15093 >Bought Phantasy Star for $2 on Switch What do you mean? I have tens of thousands of retro games on my hard drive and I didn't pay a penny for any.
