Phantasy Star 2. The impossible has been accomplished.

[PhanGarrett]

That's right. My brother-in-law did it. All characters in Phantasy Star 2. Level 50. ALL characters. Including Nei. Every. Last. One of them. No cheats. Only several hundred thousand Blastoids in Climatrol. Ka-booya.<p>He did this using Gens, and the re-translated ROM of Phantasy Star 2.<p>Behold the glory.<p>Rolf<br>Nei<br>Rudo<br>Amy<br>Hugh<br>Anna<br>Kain<br>Shir<p>Yup. There they are. If you'd like to see the game save, then just get ahold of me. Add VanGarrett@aol.com to your contacts list on MSN or just e-mail me there, and I can send it to you. Or, alternately, I've already sent the file to HuBBs, so I'm certain he'd be willing to share it. Remember, you'll need Gens to view the game save.

I remember back whan I originally played the game on my old trusty genesis/mega drive, I menaged to get my party to Lv 50, leveling in the Noah dungeon, and it took weeks, for only 4 characters! And it was Noah's monsters, and I constantly used Megid! Well, leveling at climatrol 'till level 50 with all is a great feat. But I don't think that you brother in law did it legitimatly, here's why: after Rolf and Nei get to Lv 50 you probably have another 2 characters in you party, and you must level to lv 50 another two times, and exp earned max out at 9.999.999. And in the screenshot Rolf hasn't maxed out his experience. It's very likely that an hex editor were used, after all you have to find where exp is stored (in a savestate, not a savegame) and substitute the value with 98967F, the go for a fight and after you win, voila! 49 levels with a single battle!<br>Well, or <i>maybe</i> he killed Rolf and Nei and has gone with only two characters to level. Please explain!<p>[size=small][Edit by Goldark on [TIME]1082367059[/TIME]][/size]

Heh...<p>But he did let Rolf and Nei die so he could level only one character at a time. It's worth noting that his game save also has over 37 million meseta after all of that leveling. Quite specifically though, he used Blastoids to level-- He figured out that they were easier to deal with than Slugmesses and gave considerably more experience in addition to having the ability to reproduce themselves. By keeping 1 Blastoid in battle at all times, he was able to rack up roughly 65,000 EXP in every battle with them. We also discovered that the maximum possible amount of EXP you can get in a single battle is 65,535. After achieving that mark, it resets back to 0... Still, that made leveling up pretty darned quick.<p>But again, like I said, no cheats were used. It was very much accomplished by legitimate means.

[Benoit]

Awesome! Great job!

[Goldark]

So that's true, you have to excuse me but at first it's really something unbelivable, well, so I MUST express my most sincere compliments to your brother-in-law!!!<p>

[Wosu]

Yeah, The blastoid technique, I used to do it too.<p>I also actually made my character reach the 50th level. When I discovered there was alimit for experience, I was surprised, I often tryed to reach the maximum but I got over it many time that was such a waist.<p>I used to play on genesis ROM, boosting the speed at the maximum, turning down the sound a listenning to some other music.<p>Using Roms I also played PSIII and PSI and all I can say is PSIII is soo much more fun when you booost its speed.<p>Post Scriptum<p>Before playing the roms I of course played the original version on megadrive and master system but it was many many many years ago

[Tails99]

I will never have the patience to raise all of my guys to level 50. !@#$

[ZioTheHoly]

awsome! <br>I have half of my characters on my PS2 at around lvl 40-45. makes me wanna go back to finish leveling them.

[Wosu]

there is also a trick like the blastoid trick in PSIV<br>There are robot which ask for help but if I remember correctly you're limited to 14000 exp or something like that.<p>Let me do a little search...<p>here it is<br> <br>Commandball and Floatmine that's the name<p>but I enjoyed better beating sandworms...<br>it was rather challenging <p>Hahaha I remember when I finaly decided to go and kill Zio I was at the 60 th level with all my characters... I was so diseapointed then when I took Kyra on my side who because of her few levels couldn't stand the comparison with the rest of the team...

[ZioTheHoly]

Fool! U never killed me! I'm still here! MAWAHAHAHA<br>Now bow down to me!
