Phantasy Star generation:1: Alis Portrait: Sad

Postby Thoul » Wed Apr 11, '12, 3:44 am

Phantasy Star generation 1 takes many concepts from Phantasy Star IV and applies them to the story and setting of Phantasy Star. One aspect borrowed in this way is the display of small portraits above the text box when some characters are speaking. The pictures help to identify important dialogue from the party and also add some atmosphere and tone to their conversations. This is the first of these portraits we will be looking at in coming weeks. It features Alis, who as the first playable character is also the first to have such portraits displayed. Alis looks off to one side with a sad expression. Perhaps she is remembering her dear, departed brother and the reason she set out on her quest to overthrow Lassic.

Excellent addendum to PSCG1 from Phantasy Star IV ! These portraits are "simple" but it's very important to help to make a good atmosphere :)

One of the features I really enjoyed from part 4. :) I really need to get my hands on this game!
All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible.

Alisa: I'm just sad because I don't have twintails. =(
Nero's Ghost: I'll shave you bald if you keep harping on about your twintails. >_<
Alisa: But you're dead.
Nero's Ghost: Your Esper friend can cast Rebirth. >_<

That's true ! If Lutz can revive/resurrect the characters during the course of the game, why Alisa didn't ask him to use teh RISE spell on Nero ?? ;)

Lutz: But, Alisa, won't reviving your brother just negate your desire for revenge on LaShiec?
Alisa: Look, LaShiec's dangerous. He has that totally evil battle armor and an air castle and a staff that shoots Hell Lightning and I don't really wanna mess around with him. Besides, I just bought Sonic the Hedgehog Blast! I get to play as Knuckles ^_^x
Odin: Yaaaawn. Let me know when they make a game that lets you play as Vector and Mighty.
Myau: Let me know when they make a Master System game I can actually play! I don't have thumbs!
Alisa: You can watch me. =p
Lutz: (sweatdrop) Everyone, as interesting as it is to discuss the Sonic the Hedgehog series, there is one pressing matter. Where is Nero's body?
Alisa: .....???
Lutz: His dead body, when he was killed by the Robotcops?
Alisa: .....?????
Lutz: The body I need so I can cast Rebirth?
Alisa: .....Uh-oh.

Bumping up this former Image Of The Day.

The beautiful Alis! Even with a sad expression, she is still beautiful.
