Phantasy Star IV (Video Game)	comment	Phantasy Star IV: The End of the Millennium is a direct sequel to the second Phantasy Star game, returning to the Algol System a thousand years after the events of Phantasy Star II. The game stars Chaz Ashley, an apprentice Bounty Hunter who lives and trains on Motavia with his partner and mentor Alys Brangwyn. Chaz and Alys are summoned to the Motavia Academy, where they're hired to deal with an unfortunate monster infestation of the school's basement, then to investigate the cult that is causing suffering and destruction all over the planet. This eventually leads Chaz on a mission across the entire system, where he finally discovers the truth behind Dark Force.Generally considered to be the apex of the original tetralogy for a number of reasons (not the least of which was the more advanced technology behind the game allowing for a much more expansive and better-produced experience than its predecessors), and more arguably the best game of the entire franchise. Certainly it's one of the highest-reviewed entries and holds a special place in the hearts of longtime fans.The tech for the game did require a very expensive cart. The game was first sold at double the average for games at the time. Fortunately, the game has since been released on several compilations, and is available on the Virtual Console, the SEGA Mega Drive and Genesis Classics collection on Steam, and the Sega Genesis Mini, each at a fraction of that price.

Phantasy Star IV (Video Game) / int_14beeefd	comment	Darker and Edgier: Phantasy Star II depicted Motavia as a Crapsaccharine World: the once barren desert world was now a lush green world and people lead easy lives (albeit with restricted freedoms thanks to Mother Brain). Now, Motavia is a desert world once more, with monsters as far as the eye can see and all the technological progress from the previous millennium lost.

Phantasy Star IV (Video Game) / int_14ed6ab7	comment	Does This Remind You of Anything?: Demi asks for everyone else to turn their back to her and close their eyes while she installs a new weapons system. Chaz lampshades this with his confusion at the request, but Rika makes him anyway, recognizing that the weapon is installed in her chest, of all places. The Guilgenova and Igglanova enemies are explicitly a problem because they'll generate infinite numbers of spawn if unchecked. They have a very distinctly yonic design, resembling something akin to a monstrous goat's head combined with a uterus and ovaries, releasing "eggs" from a very fallopian-looking pair of orifices that become smaller, weaker monsters that may or may not be capable of maturing into its parent's type. In other words, it menstruates monsters. Given that they're from Birth Valley, that's probably the point.

There was also a cancelled proto-version of Chaz/Rudy and a Nei clone from a comic by Yoshibon that remains compatible enough with the canon lore of the series to imply Chaz's otherwise unknown origins.

There are also a few Wren series android enemies to which this trope could apply, but as mooks they receive no development.

He maintains this, even though they've been literally sent by Lutz himself, to get it and the task at hand is the eradication of the most famous evil adversary in Algo's history and mythology, which is, at that very moment, causing about three different types of apocalypses at once.

While they're supportive to Chaz and company, and aid them with the necessary equipment to stand against the Profound Darkness, they also require that Chaz's group go through tests of physical and magical combat to prove themselves. Le Roof, at least, seems to be genuinely affectionate. Re-Faze, of all the guardians of Rykros, is the most literal example of a Jerk with a Heart of Gold. Just as long as you say no to his offer.

Phantasy Star IV (Video Game) / int_23cb7c45	comment	So Long, and Thanks for All the Gear: Happens pretty much any time a character leaves or is removed from the party. If you've already played the game or consult a guide, you can easily strip Alys, Hahn, Rune (the first time), Raja, and Seth of their equipment before they go. However, Gryz, Demi, and Kyra leave in the cutscenes immediately after some fairly difficult boss battles, so you're likely going to have to let them walk away with at least some gear.

Phantasy Star IV (Video Game) / int_23e32a30	comment	Genre Deconstruction: Of early 16-bit JRPGs of the era, although the distinction didn't mean as much at the time of release. The most typical genre-defining tropes, such as the conflict between light and darkness, the idea of chosen heroes, technology and magic coexisting, and even sidequests, are all built into the world and story in a way that justifies them in the text, and some of those tropes leave stinging wounds in players' hearts even now. You gotta do some research for some of it, though.

So long as you do the sidequests when they become available and don't run from battles, any needed extra grinding is fairly minimal. Too much level grinding is actively punished due to a Game-Breaking Bug if you reach level 99.

It backfires on him, since the hunters he hired just got back from fighting an Eldritch Abomination. Incidentally, his choice of words ("head honcho bird") was mercilessly lampooned in the Let's Play run of PSIV.

The heroes all return to where they come from, and since Wren and Demi take the Landale to Zelan with them, those residing in the two planets have no chance of seeing each other any soon. Likewise, Rune leaves to parts unknown, with the implication that Chaz will never meet him again.

Phantasy Star IV (Video Game) / int_45f1f973	comment	Status-Buff Dispel: The Psychowand has the power to nullify all status buffs an enemy can cast on itself and is at one point the only way a certain boss battle can be won. The final boss also uses a skill that can tear down your defenses and it likes to do so before smacking you with its most powerful spell in the next turn. This skill actually removes elemental resistances granted from equipment. Good thing that attack won't be doing even more damage than it would without, and nothing before this has it. Though the game never tells you, the Psychowand can be used against pretty much every extremely-important plot boss to incredible effect. Doing this is a big help in any playthrough and is pretty much necessary in low-level runs of the game.

It turns out that this "somewhere peaceful" thing is the town of Krup, where Alys later dies via Zio's Dark Force magic and is buried beneath a field of flowers.

Instant death combination spells are a guaranteed kill for anything not immune. And, since many instant-death attacks have their own independent number of uses, they essentially cost nothing (in terms of what a party can bring to a boss fight) to use.

Each of Algo's three planets is the original home of each of the sentient races, with modifications by Mother Brain to make them inhabitable for Parmanians. They were created specifically to function as a seal over the dimension the Darkness is trapped in, with a race tailor-made for each one to provide Protectors of the Seal. Now that Mother Brain is gone and the environmental control system is failing, the planets are gradually going back to their normal states.

This game properly makes it an evil god, with a cult and a high priest in the form of Zio. It also ends in a deconstruction of the trope: Dark Force is only an emanation of the Profound Darkness, which actually does have a counterpart god to its devil, it's just that the Great Light abandoned Algo thousands of years ago.

Using Techniques draw from a character's pool of Technique Points and generally look and act like magic spells. Skills generally involve some kind of physical act or special talent and follow a Fire-And-Forget model that allows each individual learned Skill to be used a certain number of times. Both Technique Points and Skill uses are restored during rests. This distinction wouldn't merit a mention were magic not an in-universe phenomenon declared to be separate from Techniques; the magic abilities certain party members learn are Skills, not Techniques.

If you don't, you'll be barred from Vahal Fortress, preventing the acquisition of Wren's most powerful gun and skill. There's a Script Breaking Bug you can trip over if you accept Silver Soldier, but don't talk to the old man in Zema who properly gives you the quest, before that point. Since part of the quest involves Wren receiving a transmission from Demi, the game skips all the dialogue in Zema over as if you'd already completed the mission if Demi is no longer at Nurvus to be aware of Daughter's coordinated attacks. The mission location becomes permanently inaccessible, and the lady at the Guild will insist you talk to the Old Man, who will insist there's no problem. You can't turn the quest in, so you can't get paid, and you better hope you've already finished all the other missions, because you'll never get another. The Swift-Helm can only be found in the Air Castle, which gets destroyed after you finish it. It's one of few armor pieces that increases agility and very handy, especially if you manage to hang onto it for Gryz at the end. The Climatrol center on Dezolis is home to a couple of lucrative boss fights if you face them before you finish the Garuberk arc. After that, all the loot will still be there, but the bosses and their accompanying scenes won't be. Most of the major dungeons that suffer from Load-Bearing Boss have unique items that are lost with them; the Garuberk Tower has a Moon Slasher in one of its treasure chests that is likely to be the only one you ever find, unless you grind the random-encounter enemies that have a low chance of dropping another, who are also lost when the Tower is no longer available.

Phantasy Star IV (Video Game) / int_6fc2ca79	comment	Fictionary: Techniques have a consistent prefix-word format indicating the effect and its strength, and the actual effects, like the animations and damage, are consistent with them too. The alien words share a similarity to the names of the inhabitants of Rykros, suggesting a connection between them and the Great Light. This is good, because without a guide that's the best you're going to get as far as the game telling you what any of them do.

Phantasy Star IV (Video Game) / int_704d7e91	comment	No Ontological Inertia: Anything created or empowered by Dark Force seems to operate on this principle. It's also an unusually well-justified use of the trope, since it's strongly implied that Dark Force's structures are manifested and maintained by the magic and will of its minions. The previously-existing structures will remain after their bosses are defeated, and with rare exceptions, will remain accessible for the rest of the game. Zio's fortress crumbles once he's defeated, and so does Zio himself. His dialogue suggests that Dark Force was channeling power into them directly to keep them standing, and it rescinded once it became clear that Zio was not an efficient use of his resources. One NPC notes that the fortress appeared in a single night, giving the impression that it wasn't constructed so much as conjured by magic. Garuberk Tower crumbles once the second Dark Force is defeated. The Air Castle starts to fall apart once Lashiec is defeated. The Very Definitely Final Dungeon collapses when you defeat the final boss. Justified, as the Very Definitely Final Dungeon is a hole in reality caused by an Eldritch Abomination forcing its way out of its dimensional prison.

Phantasy Star IV (Video Game) / int_74463f7f	comment	"Anger Is Healthy" Aesop: Megid, the Forbidden Technique that harnesses the user's anger and hatred, sounds like an evil technique. However after the Secret Test of Character in the Anger Tower, Re-Faze does a pretty nasty thing by separating Chaz from his party, then forcing Chaz to fight a copy of Alys, his dead mentor. When Re-Faze offers to teach Chaz Megid after all that happens, the correct option is for Chaz to refuse. If Chaz refuses, he'll point out to Chaz that anger and hatred are natural human emotions, so as long as he remains true to himself, he won't be corrupted by Megid's power. In contrast, Chaz refusing to acknowledge his anger and accepting Re-Faze's offer causes him to fail the test, with Re-Faze killing him in response. This is also dealt with subtly over the course of the game, as Chaz's temper nearly rushes the party into danger a number of times, requiring the cooler heads in the team to overrule him in order to stay on task, but no one gives him any grief over it beyond telling him to get it together.

There's nothing good about the Great Light except that it provides Chaz and company with the weapons needed to fight the Darkness; the actual morality of the two powers is Blue and Orange.

One of the villains has his own special buff spell that makes him indestructible in battle. Finding a way to dispel it is part of the plot. Certain Mooks also use buffs, but since random encounters generally don't last long, those moves are often a wasted turn.

This occurs after an optional mission involving a sand worm fight, but unlike the wild ones, that sand worm is domesticated, so the player may expect the battle to go at least similarly or, more likely, with greater ease. Turns out it doesn't quite happen that way. (Much) later on, you'd encounter the Prophallus, and boy, was he a hard one. Who knew that a monster with only one attack could mop the floor with your Ragtag Bunch of Misfits so effortlessly? Then again, with a name like his, he must have had the living falz teased out of him on the demon playground as a kid. All that resentment's gotta go somewhere. That monster's name in the Japanese version is Dark Falz, and looks exactly like the original one.

Kyra's profile obscures her info and tells the player to find out who she is by themselves, he doesn't show up at all. The various Darkness monsters, compared to the Light ones: Sa-Lews, De-Vars, and Re-Faze are creatures of living fire, armed with what appear to be precious metals and gems that form their bodies, while the Darkness ones are gross, insectoid or deformed-humanlike in nature. And subverted by the final form of the Profound Darkness, which appears as a towering, shapely woman with wing-like protrusions and glowing hair. It's not mentioned in the English version, but it's a nod to the fact that the Great Light and the Profound Darkness are more or less the same species.

Phantasy Star IV (Video Game) / int_970c790a	comment	Dark Force, as usual, is behind Zio. Unusually, however, Zio is not the Big Bad this time, just the guy in charge of operations on Motavia. The situation is such that there are multiple Dark Forces, and after Zio's defeat, they act directly instead of messing around with agents.

Phantasy Star IV (Video Game) / int_97926168	comment	Replay Bonus: The closest thing you'll get to a backstory on Zio is that he's a "fake magician" of enough notoriety for Alys to be aware, but dismissive, of him. But on a second playthrough... Hewn and Flaeli are Esper spells in particular, but he can't cast anything but Magic Barrier without first summoning Nightmare, a projection of Dark Force. We don't get the necessary context until the Garuberk Arc that to know that Zio was either fashioning himself or compelled to become an evil counterpart to Lutz, right down to the big fancy houseful of followers. This is a remnant of his original concept; see the Trivia tab for What Could Have Been.

The literal text of the game implies that just obtaining it is enough, and since Rune removes a similar barrier before entering Nurvus automatically and the player is never informed that a weapon can be used as an item, it's easy to mistake getting the Psycho-Wand for an item-based Event Flag.

This still makes sense in either translation when you realize she's a consummate professional who makes it obvious she doesn't like to brag.

Phantasy Star IV (Video Game) / int_9d12bbc1	type	Foreshadowing
Phantasy Star IV (Video Game) / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: The first time the player has control of a character, it's Chaz... after being separated from Alys. She's a Decoy Protagonist, and Chaz becomes the party leader proper after she dies. When Alys dies, Rune asks Chaz if he really thinks Alys was only fighting monsters for the money. Yes, she did make it her career, but being a hunter also meant she was saving lives. This sets up Chaz's later realization that even if being a Protector means doing the bidding of an absent, neglectful god, it's worth doing for the sake of the lives it would save. The Bio-Plant has a corridor that's blocked off by collapsed wreckage, implying that that there was a cave-in, but it's very precise and limited just to the doorway, the rest of the room outside is intact. Seed later triggers a cave-in that destroys him and the Bio-Plant entirely with such precise control, Zema is unaffected and Birth Valley itself is sealed forever. The monster that stows away on the emergency shuttle. It's the first time one of the Darkness creatures actively attempts to kill the party on their own turf, and he only confronts them directly after being discovered: he was trying to sabotage the engines to deny them access to space travel... which would give them access to Rykros. This is even foreshadowed as the party leaves for Kuran: in order to get there, Wren will require you collect the Stealth Canceller, as the satellite is protected by a powerful cloaking device and can't be targeted for space travel while it's active. Just like how the party needs the Aero Prism to pierce Rykros' invisibility. The Fortune Teller in Aiedo offers to tell Alys her fortune for free. But she becomes noticeably distressed by what she discovers and doesn't reveal what it is, instead claiming that she's not feeling well. You can visit the cemetery in Aiedo and talk to the gravekeeper, who will chide Alys about finally buying a plot for herself, presumably because she's top earner in the most dangerous profession in the city. Alys scoffs at this, and tells him she'd rather be buried somewhere peaceful. She dies and is buried in Krup, the only town on Motavia that doesn't suffer some kind of tragedy or hardship just by existing. It's never attacked by anything, it's not plagued or forced into isolation by monsters, there's no earthquakes, no meteorites, no corruption, no genocide, no quicksand, no giant birds; just a peaceful little village with a cute little schoolhouse and a nice view of the Soldier's Temple on the lake. Dezolis has a thriving religious community centered around the worship of fire. Of course they do, Dezolis is the ice planet, it's only natural that they'd revere their primary heat-source as a god. Fire is also a source of light. It's an early clue that Light and Darkness are equally godlike.

Phantasy Star IV (Video Game) / int_9dab0a6e	comment	Continuity Nod: Being the last game in a series about defeating a recurring evil, they're all over the place. One of the towns contains a statue of Alis Landale, heroine of the first game. A store in that same town even sells expensive souvenirs, including "Alis' Sword", a pathetic (toy) weapon with really low attack power. Noah better known as Lutz left his Frade Mantle in a chest in Ladea Tower. It's not ultimate end-game equipment anymore, but it's been moldering in a box for a few millenia. The town of Uzo has references to some items from the first game. The second half of the Air Castle is a top-down rendering of the first game's version. Chaz's response to a Ryuon local's praise of Raja is that he's heard Dezolisians are all liars, a nod to the magic/mogic cap dilemma of II. Raja says it's old nonsense. An NPC in Gumbious Temple mentions Corona Tower.

Phantasy Star IV (Video Game) / int_9e236a98	comment	Sliding Scale of Gameplay and Story Integration: Deliberate Integration. The party's advancement in gaining levels and abilities does almost as much to develop them as characters as the writing does, especially in the first act. A few (and not nearly all) notable examples: At the end of the first boss fight, Alys says Chaz's swing is too slow. Two of his Skills show that he's been working on it the whole time: Crosscut (two strikes in one attack), followed by Airslash (a swing so fast it leaves a vacuum in its wake). When Rune first joins up, he's the most powerful party member by a very wide margin, and the player can breeze through every combat encounter by having Rune wipe the screen clean of enemies in every fight...in other words, being an arrogant showboat who flaunts his power. When he joins up permanently, that margin is much narrower and they start to actually become friends. Rika joins the party with zero experience and gains levels extremely quickly, since she's experiencing everything for the first time. Gryz, being a soldier who has only one thing on his mind, has a very limited set of abilities, and two of them are instant-kill attacks. Gryz and Chaz don't get very much dialogue together, but Chaz is the only other character to learn Brose (Gryz's only technique, which he has when he joins up) and Gryz learns Sweeping, a skill identical to Chaz's Airslash except that it uses an axe instead of a sword. They learned from each other. Likewise with Hahn. Rika learns the Eliminate skill relatively soon after she joins. When he comes back for the final showdown Hahn has mastered it, having taught himself a dagger-based version. Kyra has the Medice skill, the healing spell that the Espers use to confer life energy to the plague-stricken inhabitants of Meese. She also sees herself as a big-sister figure to Chaz, and uses the same weapons as Alys. The party actually tries to use their healing spells and items on Alys when she's hit by the Black Wave. Unfortunately, the Black Wave warps her body such that it rejects any and all forms of healing.

Phantasy Star IV (Video Game) / int_a211f531	comment	Shields Are Useless: Similar to Phantasy Star II, Shields take up a weapon slot as opposed to an armor slot, yet for most of your party (barring Rika, Hahn, Alys, and Kyra) the best weapons are two-handed, strongly encouraging a player not to use them at all. This is subverted, however, by some equipment strategies for Rune and Raja that advocate them using two shields as opposed to their (only) other option, staves. While this does prevent them from having a basic attack, their basic attack is all but useless, anyway, and in exchange they become the toughest party members despite their low HP. Incidentally, this strategy is why it's so frustrating that the player is never told that magic weapons can be used as items to make an attack; this means a character equipped with two shields can still do damage without expending skill charges or technique points.

And, in the ending: The heroes are contented, but will never reunite once they return home. Although the androids are prepared to help the environmental control system support Algo for as long as they can, the village of Mile is still wiped out, God only knows what happened to that giant hole leading to the Edge, and once the system does finally shut down, the natural environments of Motavia and Dezolis are going to reassert themselves to the way they were before being made suitable for Parmanian life by Mother Brain. And last but not least, Rykros will continue spinning in its orbit, its inhabitants left utterly without purpose, never to welcome Protectors again.

It doesn't go well.

Everyone who joins your party has a specific reason to be there, and they leave either when their goal is met, their attention is needed elsewhere, or they've died. At the end of the game, however, all your party members regroup to fight the final boss, but you have to choose your fifth teammate because Chaz, Rika, Rune, and Wren are non-optional.

The quake did open the earth, but not because it cracked the ground: turns out Monsen is built on top of an underground valley, and it triggered a cave-in.

If their corpses continue being exposed to it, then it revives them as rotting, poison-spewing zombies. The only way the Espers manage to keep any of the people in Meese's hospital alive is by directly conferring their own life energy to the afflicted people's bodies, and even that much is just a stopgap, not a solution.

Phantasy Star IV (Video Game) / int_d24ed873	comment	Developer's Foresight: Guards don't let you leave first city until you've done with the story. You can try spending several hours grinding monsters in the very first dungeon in a horribly painful attempt to gain access to level 7 and a spell that would teleport you to the world map, but even then guards would appear on the world map after you and drag you back. Visiting the astronomers' room has one of the professors talk about traveling to Dezolis by spaceship. Chaz responds that it sounds like a dream. If you go and talk to him again any time after Raja joins up, he'll say the same thing, but Chaz will keep his spacefaring mouth shut. If you go to Molcum to get Rune before the party finds Professor Holt, the town will still be intact. You can't actually go inside, but there'll be an NPC milling around who later turns up as a refugee in Tonoe. The Principal of Motavia Academy has unique dialogue if you go back and report to him about Holt's (second) disappearance into Birth Valley, which requires otherwise-pointless backtracking. Likewise, if you go there with Seth in the party later on, Hahn will mention that he doesn't know who Seth is. Motavia Academy is the only place on the planet, if not the solar system, where anybody could earn the credentials to become an archaeologist. If Seth really were one, Hahn would know him well. If you don't meet Saya before Alys is stricken with the Black Wave, Hahn will introduce her to the party when the party goes to Krup. After Alys dies, there's a basket of flowers on the countertop in her room at the inn. If you examine the countertop before that point, Chaz will note that nothing seems out of the ordinary. This is the only time Chaz will comment on not seeing anything regardless of whoever's in the first slot, rather than whoever's in the lead slot complaining (or scolding him) that there's nothing there. If you don't clear the Wreckage dungeon until Demi joins the party (which requires you to skip a lucrative dungeon run and backtrack to it after you have access to better stuff), she'll comment on how impressive the surviving technology is. If you wait until Rune joins the party, he'll be the one to say so. If you wait until Wren joins up, it'll be him. A town NPC on Dezolis will upset Rika by calling her ears "horns", and Raja will tell her that, to normal people, they do look like horns. If you talk to him after Kyra joins the party (which requires backtracking and going out of your way), she'll reassure Rika that they're cute. In the same town, an NPC mentions how unusual it is to see Parmanians and asks if the party has come from Tyler, but if you have Gryz in the party (which isn't even possible until long after Ryuon is of any use to the player), she'll mention that you also have "unfamiliar types" with you, having no idea what a Motavian looks like. The "Silver Soldier" Guild mission will be unavailable if you don't pick it up before returning from Rykros. If you don't pick up "The Ranch Owner" before the final dungeon opens up (or if you just never visit Mile before that point), the quest won't be available, and Rika won't have anything to say about him, having never met him before finding his corpse.

Phantasy Star IV (Video Game) / int_e5421161	comment	Expy: Rune (Lutz of Phantasy Star), Rika (Nei of Phantasy Star II), and Wren (Wren of Phantasy Star III) are all very similar to major characters from previous games in the franchise. Rika was initially meant to be Nei herself by one of the designers, but his colleagues made him change her into a new character. Justified in Rune's case because Lutz has been passing on his essence to successors since his body's physical death in anticipation of future generation's need to fight against Dark Force. And justified in Wren's case because they're both robots of similar models. The "Wren" model series can be found as random encounters in most of the technological facilities; the Wren who joins your party just happens to be the top bot in the AI hierarchy. AND justified in Rika's case. Nei (well, Neifirst, anyway) was initially an experiment by the Motavian biosystems in genetic engineering, and Rika was created by SEED (who happens to be the Motavian bio system) based on roughly a thousand years' worth of research into genetic engineering. If Neifirst was the Flawed Prototype, Rika would be the Super Prototype made at a much later time. SEED doesn't get around to making a production model.

No one even tries to explain what's going on in the Very Definitely Final Dungeon, and in the fight with The Profound Darkness, the thing (which first appears as a sinuous black blotch amidst the psychedelic chaos) visibly disintegrates and reconstitutes itself several times over the course of the battle.

It can one-shot anything you encounter in random battles and is potent enough to be of use in boss fights for nearly the entirety of the time you spend on Motavia. The game also has a few enemies that can either combine to become a bigger, meaner monster or team up to unleash a very painful attack on your entire party. You want to let the former happen since the bigger monster gives more experience, but the latter is to be avoided at all costs.

Phantasy Star IV (Video Game) / int_f3cf30d9	comment	Arbitrary Headcount Limit: Justified; if a character isn't on the battlefield, they're not in your party, because the plot makes sure that whenever someone leaves, there's someone new to take up the fifth slot, right up until the end: there's only five Rings of the Stars, so you'll have to choose your fifth member. It's arbitrary because no one can equip the Rykros Ring, so whoever you pick at the end doesn't get one anyway.

Phantasy Star IV (Video Game) / int_f53e50a7	comment	Allergic to Evil: The sentient races of Algo, it turns out. The Black Energy Wave is this trope weaponized. The Black Wave is the power of the Profound Darkness, the antithesis of the being that created Algo and its people. Its existence unmakes theirs.

Phantasy Star IV (Video Game) / int_f55a1990	comment	Disc-One Final Dungeon: Nurvus, especially since all of the plot development up to that point indicates the problems will be solved once through. Veterans of the series would understand that the lack of space travel would indicate the game isn't over, leading to the second Disc-One Final Dungeon at the Kuran satellite. After vanquishing Dark Force and restoring order to Algol's rogue climate-control systems, it might almost seem like the game was over. Nope. ....and then they do it again with Garuberk Tower.

Phantasy Star IV (Video Game) / int_f6db5b1e	comment	Ridiculously Human Robot: Wren and Demi; NPC robots tend to be less so. Wren, being an older droid created for maintaining the system from an otherwise abandoned space station, is ridiculously human insofar as he has a human face, has hair, and is humanoid; he's also ridiculously tall and most of his body is geometric and metallic so he looks like he's made out of parts. Demi, on the other hand, is so human-like she refuses to install hardware into herself while others are watching and squees like a fangirl over big vehicles.

Much to Alys' embarrassment. Said neighbour later reveals Alys is also into poetry. You do the math.

Phantasy Star IV (Video Game) / int_faece9aa	comment	The Power of Friendship: Done subtly with Chaz. When it comes to technology and technical things, he has a hard time understanding... but he's very apt when it comes to understanding people, emotions, and relationships. The bonds he forms with the rest of the party are very clearly his source of strength, and witnessing the struggle of Algo's people becomes his motivation for fighting when he rejects fighting for the sake of destiny and the plan of the Great Light. At the end of the game, when Rune, the last party member to leave, is about to go on his separate way, Chaz is devastated at the idea of living alone.

Phantasy Star IV (Video Game) / int_fc07d409	comment	Hopeless Boss Fight: The first fight against Zio. It ends when Zio fires a Dark Wave in Chaz's direction and Alys pushes him out of the way, leading to her Plotline Death. The carnivorous trees are a far-less dramatic example. Re-Faze. Though in this case it is not part of the storyline, but a result of choosing poorly to its offer. You are still taught Megid in a sense... by having it used on you to your death. Without cheating, it is impossible to win because Re-Faze has more HP than any other enemy in the game, is faster than Chaz, and does nothing but spam Megid endlessly.
