Thanks for the tip buddy
Hi everyone, I feel like talking... Read or don't it's your choice.
It's passed 8AM and I still haven't sleep yet... Damn this insomnia is getting worst, but my friends, it's a good way to make progress and to well think a little. See when I started this more then a year ago I had this idea, "Why don't I make a game set on Palma during the same time line as PS2's" I remember asking myself back in the day when I last played Phantasy Star 2, what's happening on Palma and why can't we go there? Ok, I pretty much understood why Palma was a no go at the 1/3 mark of the game, but still I thought this was one big waste. In PS 1 Palma was the shit!
And I kept thinking that this was a missed opportunity.
Long story short, I was left with good memories of my childhood, playing my very first RPG that for the most part, was set on a planet that we had no other chance in ever revisiting and that left a dry taste in my mouth.
A few years ago I wanted to make my very first RPG, it was set on Mota and it told the story of what happened to Rolf before he met Nei and when is was a very young agent. I had an idea for an entire storyline which would have been great, but the more I read into it the more I knew I couldn't do what I was about to make because it pretty much destroyed Rolf's original storyline which when you think about it, would have been completely stupid. I mean, you can't go and change anything about this sacred series of games, you just can't because in my most of honest of opinions Phantasy Star 1, 2, 3 and 4 are amongst the best RPG's ever made, heck even 3 has one great storyline and if they would have had time to actually finish the game like it was meant to be, I'm sure it would have rivaled any of the other three hands down.
I love this series, I grew up with this series, it holds a special place in my heart and it will always do. Still to this day I'm pissed at Sega for completely dissing the original series, of course I understand that they wanted to make something new and fresh and at the time the Online craze was just beginning which I'm sure was a good financial decision. Still, it's like they forgot that they made this gem that is Phantasy Star only a few short years beforehand and that for me, I will never forgive them for it.
When they announced that they were making a new PS game with an actually offline story and everything I went nuts!
I was like, WOOOOHOOOOOO!!! Finally!! After all these years!!
And then I bought it...
...
Lets just say PSU wasn't my cup of tea and then I was left even colder then I was before because now I had all this excitement that build for almost a year before it's release only to have "that" as a final product...
Let's face it everyone and it saddens me to say it, the glory days of our old familiar Algo solar systems have come and went, leaving us with good memories, no more but no less.
We have no other choice my friends, if we want something new then we have to serve ourselves because Sega won't do it for us, well not in the way we want.
And that's how I started my game, I wanted more so badly that I "had" to do it. I want my project to have a storyline that keeps all the general principle set on the others, to want to tell a new story set in our beloved star system, I want you to explore this planet we call Palma and for you to rediscover what it was all about in the original game and I want to make you think you are playing a Phantay Star game which in the process will put a smile on your faces. This is no easy task but one I have to do even though I won't get to play it for the first time as you will but you know what? It doesn't matter because in the end I'm doing this for me...
Well I'm rambling now, but this is the whole optic behind my intentions and I thought it was important for you guys to know where exactly I'm coming from.
Ok, remember when I said I had started another game a few years back? Well, that game was called Phantasy Star Through the River of time as well but ever since I started this project, I've been wanting to change the name. It just didn't fit the new game and so I'm renaming it to...
A fitting tribute to our old console...
Alright everyone I'm off to bed again so be cool!
