Phantasy Star Collection (Saturn): To the Trees

This is certainly an unusual sight for Phantasy Star IV characters. Look at all those trees in the background. Did Motavia even have that many trees? I know this scene can't be taking place on Dezoris, so this has to be Motavia, the desert planet, right?

This piece is one of five, each featuring two Phantasy Star IV characters. They were created for the cover of SPEC #9, the final issue of the Japan only SEGA fan club newsletter. SPEC #9 was never published, though. As such, these pieces were "lost" until being published in the Phantasy Star: Official Production Compendium.

Yes, unless all of the vegetation of Motivia was in one area I too don't know where to this seen would take place (Since Parum was destroyed). Not to mention I have scene this pic floating around the net a lot. I like it because Kyra and Demi are two very unique characters who don't have as much screen time as the rest of the PSIV cast and this picture is dedicated to both of them.

Motavia is a desert planet, but it has some forests here and there.

Some are a bunch of palm trees (near piata) but at north of motabia we see some pine-like trees with the same map-size as villages. Even Tonoe have a lot of trees (and I believe some have been cut to build those tents/town).

There's another picture that shows Rika with a squirrel; that's also inside some woods (which, for instance could've happen before entering in that cave at north of Motabia - it has a lot of trees hiding that "secret" cave).

Maybe they worked up a time travel device and Kyra and Demi went back to the time when Rolf and crew were around.

Has to be Motavia, as there are some scattered forests here and there. Probably not big forests, mind, but they're there. Anyway, I must agree with Lucas.

It has to be one of the most beautiful images I've seen in this column.

This needs to be turned into a game or a fanfiction or something. "The Adventures of Kyra and Demi" has so much potential.

This is a very nice image, it looks pretty real.

True that there are some areas with trees in PSIV !
This picture is really beautiful ! One of the best ever seen, as some people have already said !

Agree, one of the best images I have seen here yet! Those trees are awesome!
