Semix, here's your chance to play it without emulators. ;)

Oh my god!!! Honestly i wacht App store 2 time a week since they put Space Harrier and Shinning Force. And i dont no why but i was almost sure that the next Sega game will be Ps2 or Ps4.

That weird i feel as exiting that when i got Ps2 for my birthday in August 1991!!!

That great to play to Phantasy Star 2 on something even more portable than my DS!

Ok i stop reply and i go start my game! I will give detail for sure!

[Zucca]

Hm. If you haven't played PSII on iPhone yet... I guess Apple won't allow emulators on iPhone?

[Noahlis]

No emulator for the ipod... This is apple you know! Haha

Well the game play is good, in fact better than what i was thinking. The sound got some clitch, but nothing to annoying.

Now i am in Roron, making meseta to buy gear in Kueri. The weapon in Zema is not a must... Wathever, it's the same great game!

Still got to wait to IV, never liked 2 or 3

I'd like to know if the Laconian Dagger has been corrected in this version. :)

[Noahlis]

I will check this out for sure Zucca. But it could be long, because my game progression is very slow. ( too much obligation...)

One thing that i have note, is that no one have been poisoned as far. Chance or bug? Another thing is that the blood zone in the Biosystem dont alway have the visual and sound effect? Weird?

The emulator running the game (PSII) embedded into it could drop frames, say 1/3rd or 1/4th frame, to save the battery or/and to play "smoothly" on older devices too.
Sometimes these frame drops just might occur at the very same moment you (Rolf & co.) step on these "hot spots", thus skipping the animation and the sound effect.

Just guessing...

[Noahlis]

Well, I finish the game!

In fact it is the same good old PS2! But, what i like is that that the emulator is by far better than the one for the GBA. You she much wider in the map, or in the dongeon. So you feel less lost in the dongeon. Another thing is the sound, it is much better, again than the GBA emulator. No cheesy sound for Nei bar for exemple.

So if you like PS2 go buy it!!!
