The Phantasy Star series has been capturing the imaginations of gamers for two decades. As one of the first console roleplaying series, it has become legendary for both innovation and excellent stories. No matter what form it takes or how it is played, you can always expect a Phantasy Star to break new ground.
Classic Series
The classic series is comprised of the original saga told from Phantasy Star through Phantasy Star IV, along with side stories based on the saga. Set in the Algo Star System, these games feature a nearly seamless mixture of fantasy and science fiction settings. In their original form, these were 8-bit and 16-bit console games originally released only on Sega systems. Most of them have been released again in other formats in more recent years, usually with only minor changes.

Modern Series
Years after the story of Phantasy Star came to a close, a new story began with Phantasy Star Online. While loosely based on the classic series, this modern series forges onward in it's own unique direction. The fantasy aspect is gone in favor of an environment based entirely on science fiction, far way from the familiar confines of Algo. By introducing online gaming to console systems, this series united gamers worldwide in entirely new ways.
