Well mate, i played i few of them, but i can't already recommend some. These are that I've played

  • Off-line games

- Phantasy Star Portable 1, 2 and Infinity (this one is japan only, but you can find a English patch on google)

- Phantasy Star Universe and AOTL (it's a update to PSU but released as a standalone game)
  • Private servers

If you want to, there's also online private servers for old phantasy star games (both Pc only)

Ephinea PSO (the original phantasy star online)

Clementine PSU (the online mode for phantasy star universe AOTL)


Hope you enjoy these games, unfortunately Sega is focusing Phantasy Star as a full online game and forgetting the offline single player games, but I hope they change it in the future


Aah, just a quicky honorable mention

There's a Phantasy Star for the PSVita called Phantasy Star Nova, it has the base PSO2 gameplay but it's a single player game and offline too, but this one I never played, unfortunately

Start with Phantasy Star on the Sega Master System, and go from there.

I don't think it's a good game for a newcomer to the series, it's gameplay hasn't aged that well

I know, and he will probably get confused about how the game works or something.

I'd still recommend the Portable 2 for any Phantasy Star beginner, it's easy to catch up, it has the best Phantasy Star aesthetics imo and the characters are really nice.


Like Final Fantasy, the very first game is not the best for a newcomer to play

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."
