Thread: Phantasy Star 4 on CD-ROM was going to be at least 240 megabits!

  1. stolen from ga-forum:

    I managed to obtain a July 1992 copy of GamePro magazine. It's got Alien3 on its cover.

    This magazine is important (or should be important to Phantasy Star phans) because it contains some news on the never-released 'Phantasy Star 4: The Return of Alis' for the Megadrive-Genesis and MegaCD-SegaCD.



    if you cannot read the text in the picture, I've got it typed out below.
    on page 75 is the following, quote:


    "Phantasy Star IV: The Return of Alis is due in 12 meg form for the MegaDrive this year. The CD version will be 20 times the size of the cart. The story involves an intergalactic slave trade and occurs right after Phantasy Star III, which rumor has it will also come to CD - suitably enhanced of course. Phantasy Star vets are fore-warned that the Alis connection is shaky. The name's in the game for nostalgia only, but rest assured that the Dark Force is involved."
    add to that, SegaBase also mentioned Phantasy Star IV: The Return of Alis

    (thanks to Goodcow and eidolons-inn.net for archiving these)

    "In terms of software, the biggest news by far was with the Phantasy
    Star RPG series - the closest thing Sega had to Square's Final Fantasy
    franchise - with two Mega CD titles announced as being in development.
    The more notable of the two was the all-new title The Return of Alis,
    which was to take place immediately after the events depicted in
    Phantasy Star 3 and tell the story of the fight against a revival of
    the intergalactic slave trade. This new installment in the saga would
    be 20 times the size of the earlier game and would incorporate both
    audio and anime clips."
    "Sega cancelled the planned Sega CD release of Phantasy Star 4, opting
    instead for a cartridge-based Genesis game that bore little
    resemblance to its original Sega CD concept."
    now combined that with the mysterious picture of a Phantasy Star game in
    the May-June 1991 issue of MEGA PLAY magazine






    and you almost definitally have a Phantasy Star game (two versions of it even) that was designed between PS III and the PS IV that actually came out later.


    for the love of all that is good, someone needs to interview Naka, Reiko Kodama and any of the other main PS designers about this unreleased Phantasy Star game!

  3. So since PS3 sucked balls we want some half-joked-about-continuation-plot-concept game, what, actually released? Or are we just begging for some more information on nonexistant (and trashed for damn good reasons) software?

    Why do people even care after all this time? It's not 1993 anymore.


    I <3 Phantasy Star as much as the next guy, but seriously.

    sometimes nostalgia is the only thing people have left in their lives.

  5. I could've sworn there was a thread about this already.
    I could've sworn nobody cared then, either.
    lol, wait. This is the same thread. Uselessness gets more useless.

    heh phanks

    I was gonna post this info, pics and my own reasonable speculation on the subject for Phantasy Star Phans. the phuckers who find this boring and useless can phuck off and go back to their piece of $hitstation2 games. I don't know why they bother replying to this thread if they don't care. I don't really care about their worthless remarks anyway.
