Electronic Gaming Monthly: EGM 42, Page 131

The Making of Phantasy Star IV, a large feature Electronic Gaming Monthly ran on the game during the early development process, continues with this second page. Unlike the first page, this one is filled with story details. Much of this material was changed as development continued; almost none of the character information for "Saei Uorushu" or "Fuaru" provided here survived to the final version. The game also changed from one generation after Phantasy Star II to one millennium later. Even so, this article provides an interesting insight to the early stages of the evolution of the game scenario. The next installment of this article was in issue 47, five months later.

The newman is "Mystic" and the "Wizard" is "Neo-Human"? It must be a translation mistake since Rika is Fal (Fuaru) and Rune is Thray/Slay (Saei) Uorusho (Walsh).

In any case, Chaz story is interesting: "a descendent of one of the main characters from PS2". This was never mention in PSIV, but it wasn't denied as well.

Too bad I can't read any further - this page looks awesome!

Bumping up this former Image Of The Day!
