"Captivating"
An anthology of the Phantasy Star saga, the compilation gathers decades of pioneering themes, from melancholy FM pads to heroic fanfares. Replaying these foundational science-fiction melodies in one sweep is pure nostalgic bliss. This sonic anthology attests to the musical heritage of one of Sega's greatest sagas.

Bringing the four main Phantasy Star episodes together on one disc composes a colossal RPG fresco to play through in full. Each entry is already a long quest, and stringing them together means traversing a founding saga. That compilation generosity, made for connoisseurs, offers a lifespan JRPG fans cherish.

Japan exclusive Saturn edition of Sega Ages Phantasy Star Collection, distributed by Sega in November 1998, an anthology gathering Phantasy Star, Phantasy Star II, Phantasy Star III and Phantasy Star IV in a Sega Ages presentation. The compilation never reached the West, which makes it for Phantasy Star completists the only physical Japanese way to gather the four 8 and 16 bit chapters on the Saturn. Sega Japan run was short, jewel case with intact obi, complete with obi clearly valued.
