Highly specific genre


I've played one Star Ocean game, and zero PS games.

I've never played a Phantasy Star game, but I've played almost every SO game and the demo for the new one.

So PS easy.

One good game does not make a series good.

Only one of the original PS games is any good!

(It took them 4 tries to actually make a quality game)

this is probably a better description for Phantasy Star tbh, since most people commonly dislike the classic games other than 4, and dislike pretty much all the online games other than the original PSO (...despite PSO being awful).

people like CARD too, and Blue Burst if you count that as a separate game. I wouldn't necessarily say PSO2 is good but it's fun

The first game is both awful and an abomination of completely broken coding. Two and three are just "bad*.

Like for example in the first game, it's possible to level up and start being completely unable to hit/damage a specific enemy you had no problem with before. On your next level up, the problem will correct and you will be able to hit that enemy again.

You mean this game right?

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/gamecube/914716-phantasy-star-online-episode-iii-card-revolution

But I don't think Sega considers it "Phantasy Star Online 3" considering the actual Phantasy Star Online 2 came out much later.

Of the ones I played, PS4 > SO2 > SO3 > PS2 > PS1 > PS3. I didnt get very far in PS 1 or 3.

I kinda liked PS2. If you ever wanted to know what it feels like to get lost in huge complicated dungeons, this may be your game. It has one dungeon with something like 50 teleporters, and that dungeon is probably in the easier 50% of them in the game.

I have minimal experience with either but Phantasy Star has some good music so I voted that

Speaking of single player games, both series are at "two good games", but PSO was such a blockbuster it has to take it for me.

Voted Star Ocean

Phantasy Star I - III are kinda bad and I have zero interest in MMOs. I like Phantasy Star IV more than Star Ocean 2, Star Ocean 1 is pretty mediocre, and I haven't played the other Star Oceans, but I'm not gonna vote for the franchise that clearly only has 1 good game over a franchise that I could potentially find enjoyment from.
