From
Phantasy Star Collection (Saturn) comes these three character designs for that most dreaded of menaces, Dark Force! These are samples from the early planning stages of
Phantasy Star IV, when each Dark Force had individual names. The middle one, from Kuran, was known as "Cyber Force." Names for the others have never been revealed. The third Dark Force, shown on the right here, changed a lot before his final version. In this concept, he seems to have a shield and possibly a detachable weapon. In the game, that weapon is part of his arm, but the shield is nowhere to be found.
