Phantasy Star Gaiden
Overview
is a role-playing
video game developed by Sega
for the Game Gear portable system. Released only in Japan, the game takes place in the same universe as the original four Genesis Phantasy Star
games. This game features the same top-down view and first-person battles, with the biggest difference being that there's a maximum of only three members allowed in the party. It was released a few months after Phantasy Star Adventure
in Japan, which was the first Phantasy Star game for the Game Gear system.
The story takes place on a colony founded by the legendary Alisa Landeel and chronologically fits between Phantasy Star
and Phantasy Star II
, precisely 471 years of distance between each other.
