Phantasy Star IV Pirate Versions: Fear in Algo

Postby Thoul » Mon Mar 16, '09, 2:38 pm

Xing Zhan Qing Yuan's fifth introduction scene gives us a taste of life in Algo after the fall of Palma. But really, it is hard to make sense of this. The generic anime style woman looks like a Trill from Star Trek with all those brown spots. In the background, there are two space ships - one is an actual flying saucer. That is a decidedly non-Phantasy Star touch added by the Chinese developers.

I didn't realize that Algo had space battles reminiscent of Star Wars..

I have to wonder why there's a flying saucer in the first place. Why add that? If they're trying to pirate the game...why add something that was never there? Makes no sense.

Ha ha, maybe. But it's not like Earthbound is the only game in which there are flying saucers...and really, flying saucers appear in Mother 1/EB Zero too. So maybe they played that instead. Maybe you fight Li'l UFOs in this particular pirate version of PSIV. :D
