Phantasy Star: Fringes of Algo

YES! I have an annoying habit of wanting to check anything and everything. I love to get into my game and learn as much as I can about the objects around me, even if it's a simple comment like "This kitchen is dirty". Unfortunately, Phantasy Star IV seems to "discourage" that with the controls. But I can live with it, it's just one minor pet peeve.

No it's not an annoying habit because ...I have the same ! lol Good habit : it proves that people are curious, eager to discover all a game have to offer to the players. Same about the kitchen : I check ALL I can

It always takes me a while to readjust to the movement patterns of walking around when I pick PSIV back up after a long break. The way Chaz slides off everything can be irritating at times. It's particularly odd that the devs made it so difficult to examine the environment, because there are actually a lot of things they let you examine for comments around the world.

Phantasy Star IV is one of the RPG I have played with the most interaction within ! And even if it's "slippery time", always funny and interesting to check all around...and comment it !
EDIT : All the creators, especially the designers, have passed a lot of time to make all those landscapes and houses's interiors so : let's greet them by checking all that is located around us as we wander into the games.

Right now I'm at my second visit to Zio's Fort in Phantasy Star IV. I already had beaten Zio last night, plugged Demi to Nurvus, and was about to go on the spaceship when I decided to do sidequests and died.

Since silly me forgot to save my progress, my last save was at my second visit to Zio's Fort. *sigh* Back to the drawing board.

Good luck ! I'm just a little bit farther in the game (only my second game on Phantasy Sgtar IV ! The first was so many years ago...) : I "rediscover" the game !

I've reached Casba in PS Generation 1 now. I think this is about where I stopped last time. Right now I've hit a wall: neither the Casba dragon nor the hovercraft are triggering where they should. I've probably missed talking to someone to set a flag that enables them. Figuring out where is the only problem.

So in PSG1..you need to speak to very specifically NPC to "set a flag" as you said and be able to discover some objects or dragons ? I didn't know that ! An urge to test and play this game is running throughout my veins !

Right now, I'm nearing the end of Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction. However, it may yet be a while because I'm a completionist and I want to collect every gold bolt and hidden goody. But after I finish Ratchet and Clank, I'll start either Skyrim, Saints Row 2 or Mirror's Edge.

Also, those of you who like to check out every single thing in a game would have a hayday with LA Noire.

I just tried a Pc-Engine game (or Turbografx ^^) called Gomola Speed and it's truly excellent ! I love it and think I'll continue
