Phantasy Star Classic Series Retrospective
YouTube video by ZaffreRevolution Phantasy Star Classic Series Retrospective

With the Infinite Re:Imagine team playing some Phantasy Star TTRPG, we found ZaffreRevolution's video on the history of the classic Phantasy Star series really helpful for getting re-familiarized with the franchise!

Personal opinion-

I think Fantastic Four: First Steps was actually excellent and the best FF movie we've gotten by a significant amount. It was bright, nostalgic, and had a certain love for the source material. Maybe trying to do a bit too much, but that's a common issue these days.

* Valhalla Calling (Miracle of Sound)
* When Legends Rise (Godsmack)

I've been reading these three games recently and I feel like, somewhere in a fusion of their best ideas with individual imperfections chipped away by synergistic comparison, there is the roadmap for a *spectacular* serialized urban fantasy experience.

This class is CRAZY good. Awesome defender, amazingly thematic Feats, and a great playstyle that’s underexplored on the martial side of things in Pathfinder. Paizo did a banger job.

Writing the shobhad ancestry for SF2 was fun and an opportunity to revist some of my older projects where I'd first started working on the PF2-engine take on the ancestry, notably my AP volume Doorway to the Red Star.
