the most difficult jrpg you'll ever play.

If you get through it, one of the greatest twist endings in all of vidya.

It requires a lot of grinding to progress. Dungeons will rape your asshole if you don't come prepared with the strongest gear and healing items.

This. Just prepare well for the dungeons from Climatrol forward. It's a great game and the dungeons are challenging.

Lots of random battles and three (3) boss fights. It's good compared to other 80s JRPGs but I can't really recommend it.
The dungeon design is actually very good, but the dungeons don't really matter since you can beat encounters without expending resources, there isn't much variety in battles, and although the story is kinda interesting there isn't much to it. Like other 80s JRPGs, it's mostly just an exercise in tedium.

Are the PS2 remakes good?

Op here. I like 80s JRPGs, so this sounds perfect.

Stay far away.

There wasn't much to RPG stories back then, period. This game was revolutionary in that department.

Although I complained a bunch, I will say that you don't need to grind. Even when I needed to train a new party member they were able to catch up by equipping two shields and defending (in fact I had two shields on most party members). And I wasn't overlevelled or anything, I fought maybe 25% of the encounters I came across and ran from the rest.

Except if you see these things early on you're in trouble, they are stupidly overpowered.

its boring and hard

I remember it being really good when i played it as a kid.

I want to replay it, but I know i'll just be disappointed since i've been spoilt by new age mechanics.

I do think it's good for an 80s JRPG, I just think games from the mid 90s and on are much better.

You should really play PSI first if you haven't already. The gameplay is also quite boring but the game was very impressive when it was released. First person dungeons are cool and the enemies are even animated!

Also there's a patch that restores the japanese version's audio for PSI. I think there might be some other patches that fix up PSI&2's translations, look into that.

Phantasy Star II is complete trash and its dungeons are some of the worst I've seen in gaming history. Most of them are just a bunch of teleports that in many cases teleport you to random locations, so even with a map and a guide it's still a pain in the ass to navigate.

The random encounters are high as shit and the game requires insane amounts of grinding.

I played the PS2 version, which is supposed to be "easier", so I don't even want to imagine how retarded the original version must be. The first game was alright and the first person dungeons gave it a unique perspective but part 2 it's more like a recollection of all the worst things of old school Jrpg's. The story is good tho but the design of this game is fucked up.
