Welcome back to the RPG Lounge, an occasional retrospective/review series about the RPGs I play through, most of which will be livestreamed. The “classic” Phantasy Star series has four games, each unique in their own way. The original is a hybrid JRPG/dungeon crawler whose main character is one of the earliest female protagonists in video …

New Computer GET!
So I have a computer I can actually stream from. No more kidnapping my wife’s computer to do so. Hooray! Later on tonight I’ll likely try a stream from this computer and see if it works as well as I hope it does. Work on Hysterium slowly continues. I have to work out why some …

The Phantasy Star III Chronicles: Part Nineteen
In the end, I proceeded from a faulty train of logic. Forgetting that Maya was actually Layan (And thus Ayn was a hybrid Orakian/Layan), I decided that I wanted to keep the bloodline as Orakian as possible, and elected to marry Sari. Sari quickly put Ayn in his place, telling him “No more adventuring!” Wow. …

The Phantasy Star III Chronicles: Part Eighteen
In the previous chapter, I noted that Lyle revealed he could change into a dragon and then he died (This grammar, by the way, is not much worse than what the game actually said.). I feel like this should somehow have had more time spent on it, since it was a pretty important plot point …

I have a number of gaming related things going on, and to actually do them all is going to require that I don’t spend hours watching streams. Let’s go over them all. On the speedrunning front, I have to finish up Golgo-13: Top Secret Episode. Hopefully I can get that tonight when I stream my …

The Phantasy Star III Chronicles: Part Seventeen
After entirely too long, I’ve resumed my playing of the third Phantasy Star game! Being back on the first continent in the game, I wandered through a bunch of deserted villages, until coming upon the dungeon I escaped from way back at the game’s start. Within the confines of the dungeon, I came across Sari, …

The Phantasy Star III Chronicles: Part Sixteen
Not much has happened since my last entry. Having successfully discovered the cave that allowed me to progress, I went through it, and discovered something that previous dungeons lacked: new equipment! Primarily, a Force Sword with enough power (I can do close to 500 damage on particularly weak enemies) that it made me abandon the …

The Phantasy Star III Chronicles: Part Fifteen
At last! Pandemonium Progress! This update actually covers two sessions of me wandering around looking for what the heck to do next. At the end of the first session, I was actually closer to my goal than I had realized, having stopped at the cyborg town in Aridia. Yet I went back to the fourth …

The Phantasy Star III Chronicles: Part Fourteen
As with Part Ten, I am currently, if not “stuck” per se, in “wander around the world I’ve uncovered so far, trying to find a cave that will let me in” mode. My attempt to get to Techna was foiled by the fact that the bridge that was supposed to be there when I went …

The Phantasy Star III Chronicles: Part Thirteen
Double Royal Needler all the way across enemy groups! So intense! Armed with two totally broken (For this point in the game) weapons in the form of dual-wielded Royal Needlers, plus Ayn’s companions’ weaponry, breaking into the castle was pretty easy. The hardest part was navigating the dungeon, and I even managed to get pretty …
