Who has completed PS 1?

[El Sydeon]

^^^<br>*Agrees with Benoit about the heels*<p>Anyhow, I did manage to scrape a victory in PSI, but eventually I had to resort to a FAQ about 3/4 of the way through the game when I simply couldn't figure out what I was supposed to do next or if I needed anything else before going after Lassic... assuming I could even figure out how to get to him. And personally, I don't know how anyone would know about the secret door in the last dungeon without a guide... yeah, I know, I suck. ^_^<p>So, of course, I didn't think the game was all that tough in terms of it's enemies so much as it's merciless labyrinths and figuring out what the heck you're supposed to do next. In other words, once I finally did get to Lassic a year or two (not really, but it felt like it) after starting the game, I was practically able to push him out the window with my pinkie.<p>Oh, and while I do like PSII and IV better, PSI has Alis and Myau so that's got to count for something...

Damned faqs, if I had one at that time (~1990) I would had completed PSI in way much less time, but I would had much less fun. The game gives a hint about hidden doos halfway, in the wall/fortress you have to pass to get to Baya Malay when you encounter the robotcop and show it you fake roadpass you are sent in a sort of jail, there is an old man who talks about a secret passage, then most people use the flute or exit magic, but if, like me, try to find that secret passage anyway, then you know how to search for the one in the last dungeon. BTW in the end I was clueless, I found the passage, but was unable to beat Dark Falz, so I thought I had something else to do, it ended up I had to level until Lv30 (I was Lv23 or so)

The first time I was stuck in the robocop's jail I ended up searching every single last patch of wall with the SEARCH command.<p>On my second time around the faqs/walkthroughs did enlighten me on the secrets like the 3000 Gil in Tajima's cave.<p>I beat Dark Falz with level 23 characters... Mostly just Fire, Cure, Laser Gun, Wind... And the occasional use of Burgers in a tight situation...<p>Lassic's continuous thunder attacks, for some reason, are what really worried me. They gave me a sense of ineviatable doom as I watched all my characters slowly whittled away, wondering if i'd make the killing blow in time.

[Benoit]

Yeah, the secret doors were hinted. I didn't really thought about it, though.<br>I beat the game without a FAQ. Yes, I found that last door. I didn't find the one in the Baya Malay gate prison, though.

<blockquote>3000 Gil in Tajima's cave</blockquote> <p>What the hell? This isn't Final Fantasy. IT's called meseta! :p \<p>I beat the game without a FAQ, also.

[Dream Spawn]

I beat most of the game without a FAQ, then I used an FAQ to get back to where I was then beat the rest of the game without an FAQ, then replayed that bit with an FAQ... :p <p>Argh, darn Gil is everywhere. It's been a late night and i've been dealing with Gil all day long. Save meh ~_~

[Rika/Phoenix]

As Benoit pointed out, PS1 is hard at the start with only Alis until she learns Heal and starts to get money, however, training needs to be done constantly to survive in it.

It's all right, Dream Spawn, I myself was addicted to a FF game...FFTA to be exact! ^^

Hello, I first want to say I love this site, and yes I have finished Phantasy Star I, I did it in 1989 on the original Sega Master system

[Lord Khyron]

Wierd.. I posted this in the OTHER discussion o.o How did it end up here?<p>Oh dear..

[Wosu]

Hello, I am just a new right now but it has been a long time since I first visit this site.<br>I am really amazed by it since it's so full of every thing and even thought I didn't beat the PS serie a thousand time (almost but not haha) I am fan of this world.<p>to answer this topic, I too finished phantasy star I, I've been pulled in the serie by Phantasy star II then I did the III and the "end of millenium" and a long time after that I finally tryed PSI (sorry it was on an emulator).<br>At first I threw it away because of those scorpions who kept on killing me every time just thinking "tsssss it's really a bad game"<br>But a few month later I took it again and got throught the beginning. thank you: "the save". Then I just enjoyed leveling up and beating the boss without even healing my party. Leveling up is really fun, isn't it.<p>Finaly the more I completed this game, the more I understood the serie like a revelation: a miracle!! always saying "Ohhh! but that's how it was! this is what they tryed to say in PS2! and here is an element of PSIII and the music and there and there and again over there!" <br>It was just great like if I completed a puzzle and all the missing parts were in PSI.<p>For those who read that message and who haven't plated PSI, just go for it.<p>PS<br>Excuse my english I am not an english speaker but I try my best. Don't hesitate if you want to correct my grammar or vocabulary

I restarted PS 1 on my new computer (emulator, YES, I now use mekaw), and now I am already lv 3! So now I should fight maneaters near Scion!?

[Prince Noah]

I beat PS1. I also have maps for the game, telling me the direction I need to go in to get through the caves and dungeons. Perfect. I took the time to make them.
