Fantastic. I would still pick it up for more, but that price point rocks. Glad these didn't get axed.

 

[AniHawk]

SOLD!

This is the perfect gift for my sister (loves Sega games and the PS RPGs).

Whoa, it's PS I - III. I thought it was PS I, II, and IV?

 

[LinesInTheSand]

GOTY

 

[TekunoRobby]

This is the improved graphics version right? Sega-Ages pack they released in Japan?

 

[Jonnyboy117]

Are these the 3D versions I've seen screenshots of, or just straight ports? If the latter, you'd be better off with Phantasy Star Collection on GBA...same price, but portable.

 

[Ranger X]

KOOL. Sold.

 

[MoxManiac]

It's the former, johnny. The Sega-Ages remakes.

 

[Jonnyboy117]

Teh sweetness. Any word on their quality?

 

[gunstarhero]

Whoa, it's PS I - III. I thought it was PS I, II, and IV?

That makes 2 of us - what gives? I was looking forward to playing 4 again (3 was the weak stepchild IMO).

 

[MoxManiac]

It has to be a typo. AFAIK PSIII wasn't remade at all as a Sega Ages title.

 

[belgurdo]

Considering III wasn't Age-d, it's a typo. Put down your Sega hate rays.

 

[gunstarhero]

Phew! That was a close one

 

[retardboy]

Anyone play any of the Sega Ages Phantasy Star games? Any reviews? I'd like to see how they are.

 

[kiryogi]

Easy as hell! But pretty PSC on GBA might be a better alternative.

and is that description right? There was never a sega ages planned for PS3... Also PS2 and 4 aren't even out in japan are they? That date can't be right..

 

[BobbyRobby]

For $20, I'm sold even though I own all of these games on different formats.

 

[bobbyconover]

Aren't 2, 4, and 3 still yet to be released in Japan? And all are planned?

 

[GigaDrive]

Holy Algol! awesome

I do believe it's Phantasy Star I, II, IV, not III

 

[jiggle]

Are these the 3D versions I've seen screenshots of, or just straight ports?

It's not 3D(i dont' think????), at least not PS1. It has updated 2D graphics.

 

[Drinky Crow]

Can we get some screens of II and IV?

 

[Fularu]

Release date is bogus, publisher is bogus (JOAG???) and description is bogus (it IS PS I II and IV), but II and IV have yet to come out in japan...

 

[Fularu]

Aren't 2, 4, and 3 still yet to be released in Japan? And all are planned?

Just 2 and 4, there are no plans to re release 3

 

[ZILLION]

Release date is bogus, publisher is bogus (JOAG???) and description is bogus (it IS PS I II and IV), but II and IV have yet to come out in japan...

The publisher may not be bogus. JOAG is Jack Of All Games,one of Take Two's subsidaries. It isn't a stretch to think Sega possibly made a deal with Take Two for budget priced titles aside from the sports games. The other stuff is bogus but the publisher coudl be true..

Publisher is Conspiracy...

 

[Scott]

Jack Of All Games became Conspiracy's national distributor on March 4th of this year. So you're both half right.

 

[Mejilan]

I'll be getting this poste haste. But damn if I wouldn't kill for a complete PS Collection vs this misnamed and incomplete PS "Trilogy."

 

[ferricide]

it's not incomplete. wait, didn't i already argue this point in another thread? III is completely extraneous to the overarching plot of the the phantasy star series, as begun in I and continued in II.

i am highly skeptical about that date as well.

sega's japanese release schedule still lists both PSII and PSIV as not having release dates yet. which sucks.

still, it'd be nice if this made it out anytime soon.

 

[Deku Tree]

SOLD!

 

[belgurdo]

III=teh suck, so much that even Sega themselves considers it a spinoff, hence why it's not plaguing Trilogy

 

[radios shipping overview]

These are getting new translations, right? We're not going to be sitting through motheaten old text at the behest of insane PS fanfic-writers, right? Please tell me that's the case.

 

[Deku Tree]

how can a release date go from Q1 2005 to 8/2004 just like that?

 

[Mejilan]

For better or for worst, PSIII is part of the PS series. You can rationalize all you want, but I'm just as disappointed in PSIII being left out of this PS2 compilation as PSIV being left out of the GBA one.

For the record, I'd happily pay 50 bucks for what we're already getting.

 

[radios shipping overview]

Oh, and the date is real. See here: http://www.conspiracygames.com/games.php

Sega Ages: Classic Collection Playstation 2 Compilation Q3: 2004

 

[Deku Tree]

What are the "updated graphics" going to look like?
Are there any screenshots anywhere?
(I didn't see any @ IGN)

 

[isamu]

This thread is worthless w/o pics.

No screenies? Anyone?

Sega Ages: Phantasy Star Trilogy Playstation 2 RPG / Strategy Q1: 2005

Phantasy Star Trilogy is still 2005.

Well the only reason needed is that it's not being remade in their Sega Ages collection. So there's no way they could include it in this Trilogy.

"What are the "updated graphics" going to look like?"

This is the PS1's remake:

 

[Deku Tree]

Looks nice! Thanks!
(I guess I don't know how to find screens @ IGN...)

 

[radios shipping overview]

More, more, more!

(these screens are why composite cables suck)

 

[BobbyRobby]

They still have the FP dungeons I see. Damn, I feel like such a loser when I have to draw maps for videogames.

 

[Suikoguy]

They still have the FP dungeons I see. Damn, I feel like such a loser when I have to draw maps for videogames.

PS1 had First Person dungeons.
PS2, PS4 had 3rd person.

The graphics upgrades actually are pretty decent. And at package price of 20 (even without PS3) Its quite a steal and and easy purchase this fall.

They have new music upgrades too right?

 

[TekunoRobby]

"What are the "updated graphics" going to look like?"

This is the PS1's remake:

Wow, I'd like to see Sega try and make me not purchase this.

 

[sc0la]

Which phantasy star has the generations of characters (based on who you choose to marry) and the cyborgs that transform spaceships? it was on genesis.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Here are the comparisons Sega did when they announced the Sega Ages:

But they're easy as hell :/

 

[evilromero]

LinesInTheSands your avatar rocks. DT and Pain of Salvation are my two favorite bands. And on this price point I agree: GOTY for PS2. And I will buy. Oh yes I will. And eat this dorayaki.

 

[GhaleonEB]

Well, shit. Now I have to buy a PS2. Dammit, I was so happy when they weren't coming to the US. *sigh*

Time to start saving.

it has tons of new text, so they'd have to.

and PS1 now has automap.
