>>877652>PS2 is probably the hardest jrpg ever made.Phhhhthahahahahahahaha!! God no. The start is fairly hard, but every monster after that is damn weak. The only real danger lategame is the entire party being smacked with sleep spells (which ends in a game over if the entire party is sleeping). That and Neifirst (who actually hits harder than Dark Force).
All of PS2's difficulty is in the length and size of the dungeons, but once you get the Crescent Gear, you can heal up for free in battle and save your TP.
Phantasy Star 4 on the other hand is much more difficult, as monsters do masses of damage, TP costs are cruel, and the bosses hit like a ton of bricks. The dungeons are much shorter, yes, but the monsters more than make up for that.
tl;dr Phantasy Star 2 is fucking easy.
>>878686It had major potential, but they blew it. Even now multi-generational games are unheard of. I can name five at best. The only "modern" one is Agarest, which honestly isn't that great.
