''Phantasy Star IV'', released in Japan as , is a role-playing video game released for the Mega Drive in Japan in 1993 and Europe and North America in 1995. It is the fourth and final game in the original ''Phantasy Star'' series, concluding the story of the Algol Star System. The game was also made available on the Wii Virtual Console in Japan on June 24, 2008, in the PAL regions on November 14, 2008, and in North America on December 22, 2008, for the price of 800 Wii Points. ''Phantasy Star IV'' is also part of the ''Sega Genesis Collection'' on the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable and on ''Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection'' for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. ''Phantasy Star IV'' kept many of the gameplay elements of the previous game, including turn-based battles, overhead exploration, and magic spells. The game met with generally mixed reviews upon its release, but has been subject to very positive critical retrospectives. ==Gameplay== ''Phantasy Star IV'' is an archetypal role-playing video game, featuring the staples of exploration, NPC interaction, and turn-based combat. Like the previous games in the Phantasy Star series, individual characters each have their own statistics and equipment that determine the character's performance in combat, improving their statistics by gaining experience levels (achieved through victory in combat). Additionally, non-android characters have access to "Techniques," i.e. magic spells, the use of which draw upon a character's pool of "Technique Points" (TP), with new techniques being learned as a character gains levels. ''Phantasy Star IV'' has a number of features new to the series, including combination techniques, manga-style panel illustrations that accompany the narrative, and an expanded script. The instruction manual for the American version states that there are 15 possible combination attacks. However, only 14 were ever discovered. Occasionally, the "secret technique" Feeve, a useless technique accessible through hacking, is mistaken for the "lost 15th combo." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Phantasy Star IV: The End of the Millennium」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
