Phantasy Star Complete Collection: Staff

Postby Thoul » Fri Jan 13, '12, 12:07 am

Perhaps the most often underused weapons from Phantasy Star III are the staves. They are primarily used by male Layans, of which only two are playable during the entire game: Ryan and Lyle. Only the most basic staff, which is probably the one pictured here, can be used by the other males in the game. It is quickly rendered obsolete for those characters by more powerful options in other categories, like swords and knives. The wing ornamentation at the top of this staff makes it resemble a caduceus slightly, though it lacks the snake imagery used with that symbol often associated with medicine.

As always nice capture and good comments : the tie to the caduceus is quasi obvious !
Yes, the staves are underused as they aren't very powerful : maybe a staff with heal...

Bumping up this former Image Of The Day!

Staff! Both beautiful and effective when a weapon is needed.
