Phantasia Gaiden

Ha ha, just noticed Ephiam uploaded his retro game around the same time. XD

Anyway, PHANTASIA GAIDEN!? What is this sorcery? What is this game that suddenly popped out of no where!? Well, a little backstory behind this game.

A few years ago I had a random itch, I wanted to make an old-school game like Final Fantasy Legend 2/SaGa2, and I just so happen to come across resources that enabled me to make said game. So naturally, I started doing a LOT of mapping on the game, to the point that I ended up mapping the entire game within' a week's time.

Shocked by what I did, I ended up continuing by making custom characters and a few other things to keep the adrenaline going. I didn't have much of a story, I even talked with Ephiam during that time if he wanted to make a random story out of it, though I think both he and I forgot about it over time. Then a few months ago, the itch came back, and I happened to be chatting with RPGFan28 about this game I made, and he wanted to test it out, so he did, and added some adjustments to the thing.

I noticed that I never got the final dungeon made, so I ended up doing that and continuing the game, and wondered, what am I going to do for a final boss, and then I remembered an old game boy sprite I made and submitted on deviant art even long before the game's conception.

So I ended up using that and bam. I just finished doing the ending and credits earlier last week and did another test run of the game a few times. The game is beatable within' 4-6 hours.

The game is very reminiscent of FFLegend2, so expect to see some cheap deaths, and the movement is also the same as old-school NES RPG's as well.

It was a fun little distraction, and I felt it was a waste to let a game that was essentially near the finish line to end up on the hiatus/cancelled folder, so here we are.

Hope you all enjoy this little random retro RPG, if you come across anything, give me a screenshot and I'll address the problems immediately.

Phantasia Gaiden will release tomorrow.
