Interesting comparisons - I love the Star Wars influence on Phantasy Star, but I also love how well they did creating their own universe that *didn't* feel derivative, and felt, from my admittedly limited experience, on par with any of the universes from classic and/or famous sci-fi books. I also think having a female main character in PS is one of several things Sega deserves credit for; for a top-tier 1st-party game this was almost unheard of in the 8-bit era (or the 16-bit era, for that matter.) At a time when video game companies' marketing departments were laser-focused on marketing games to boys between the ages of 5 and 15, and were insistent that the boys buying their games wouldn't want to play as a girl, having a woman as the player's main character took some guts, and the foresight to see a time when girls (and women) would increasingly make up a large portion of the game-playing community. They did have some precent in this - Girl's Garden and Ninja Princess for their pre-Master System console SG-1000, which never released in the US but did release here in Australia and in New Zealand, featured female protagonists as well - but when the latter got a US release, its name was changed to Sega Ninja and the badass shuriken-throwing eponymous princess was changed to a bland, generic and male ninja. So, Sega wasn't completely immune to the drivel being vomited forth by those aforementioned marketing departments, which were no doubt largely staffed by white, besuited middle-aged men. Regardless, it shouldn't be underestimated how huge this was in 1987. I've always been on the Nintendo side of the divide but credit where credit's due.
I can’t believe this video is hiding out like this. This should be home page! In japan they love to homage things to the point of almost copying them. But if people from earth interact with Algol, then it can’t be Star Wars, I say
Awww that's really nice of you to say! I was so excited when I made this video since it was one of my first edited ones, and it took me forever. And I do take your point about people from earth being able to see Andromeda. But if that's the only thing holding the theory back... things are pretty convincing otherwise :D
Phantasy Star is my favorite game of all time. The graphics, the music, the gameplay, everything was perfect for a 6-year old boy. I remember every song in my head constantly even now at 38. But I've always thought (later on, of course) that it related to Dune. Motavia is obviously Arrakis.
@@hungrygoriya While there is a Dune video game, Cogumerlim is referring to the sci-fi novel by Frank Herbert. He's not far off since Arrakis served as the inspiration for Tatooine. There's even a desert called The Dune Sea. ;)
I think it's rather neat that you did a video on this subject. It's always been mentioned and pointed out that Star Wars has played a major influence on the Phantasy Star franchise but I haven't seen very many that have gone in-depth with explanation Interestingly, I've always thought the devs must of looked at the early Star Wars concept artwork of Ralph Mcquarrie to gain some kind of influence.
Thanks! This was one of my very first videos and I was so happy to see so much of one of my favourite movie franchises in this game. The people that made Phantasy Star were a little more than inspired by the work I think :)
@@neonkenomi320 I did a quick search because the name isn't familiar to me, and is that a character from PS4? I haven't gotten that far into the series yet.
Thank you so much! I've been putting some hard work into them, so it's good to know that it's paying off. I'm working on the next two parts before I record some more, so hopefully I'll have those out on the weekend and early next week if all goes well. I really appreciate your patience - I'm a little slow with the editing!
Thanks for your kindness! The storm troopers thing was the first thing I noticed, and then everything else fell into place from there. I look at a genre-defining game emulating a great franchise like Star Wars as a good thing. It's like some kind of non-canon extension.
I love this comparison. Awesome iconic original movie trilogy and one of my all time favorite games of all time. The hero's journey at its best. Great video.
@@hungrygoriya I always felt this relationship for a while but you articulate it so well here. Really enjoyed it. Happy New year to you and all the best for 2023.
Yeah, but there's so much more than that too! The stormtrooper similarity tipped me off first and foremost, and then everything else started clicking into place.
Huh, I missed out on this video it seems. Lots of great of examples I hadn't really thought about, especially with the main characters. I really enjoyed this one. A few things you could add to the list: I think the Motavians have some visual similarity with the Ewoks, too. Maybe not much, but they always remind me of Ewoks for some reason. Probably because you never see what a Jawa looks like under those hoods so I drew a comparison between the fuzzy little guys. But they definitely have more Jawa to them. They even like to play around in old scrap piles in the later games. I always thought Parma/Palma was more like Alderan than Endor, but that's mostly down to Phatasy Star 2... And speaking of PS2, that's when the rebellion hides out on an ice world. Hapsby navigates your ship through space, just like R2 does with Luke's X-wing. (I guess you did kinda imply this in the video, but it seemed like it could use a bit more clarity) Alis's battle with the 'sacubus' enemy in her dreams can be paralleled with Luke fighting Vader on Dagohba. On a not Star Wars note, I think there's a bit of Dune influence as well with the sandworms. But this is really more the case in Phantasy Star 2. Dune (at least the book) talked about terraforming Dune into a garden paradise, just like what happens to Motavia. And there's a theme underlying Dune about people becoming weaker when they have no challenges to overcome, which is pretty much the central theme of PS2.
These are all good points. I especially like the one about the nightmare and Dagobah. And I definitely should've elaborated more on R2D2 as well... It was my very first produced video and I think I've (hopefully) gotten better at finishing my thoughts! I haven't played Dune myself but I do appreciate your parallels to PS2 as well. Some great insights!
@@hungrygoriya you ever herd of the fomprsions betwen starvwars and eragon like how the main chrectiors are young farmers who live in world ruled by tyrant who Tom over the world when Saud chrectors wre just born the mainvillibs of noth ard the tybrshts of thevrsoective workd who isolate themselves from thier subjects and use dsrk warior to do thier bidding said dark warriors capture a young princess and order the younger gamers thsn bring jn case if Luke skywaker and eragon the tyrants being emperor palpatine and glbtortorix princes being leia and aryan and drak warriors being Darth Vader and durza the shade
I would also add that the Governor of Motavia, being a rebel sympathizer, with close ties to a Leah like charcater, would be akin to Bail Organa, the Senator from Alderan. However, i dont think Bail Organa was written about at the time, or if he was, wasn't that popular of a character in the SWU, but none the less, it is still parallel to Starwars.
Thank you! Phantasy Star was a really amazing experience that I wish I could relive again for the first time. I'm also a bit of an original trilogy junkie. Being able to marry both topics here made me really happy :)
In hindsight yes, there are a lot of similar elements. The older movies were well written so it's not surprising that some inspiration was taken from it!
It was probably drawing a ton of influence from the original Ultima game, which was also a crazy mish mash of fantasy/sci-fi stuff heavily drawing on Star Wars. Ultima I had even more blatant copy of the landspeeder, had your hero wield a blaster, and at one point you fight actual TIE fighters. The last boss is also invincible until you destroy a gem, while in Phantasy Star you need a gem to PROTECT yourself from the last boss.
The first two Ultima games were completely batshit fantasy/sci-fi works of hobo stew, literally everything a 21 year old Richard Garrot thought would be cool and just threw in. It wasn't until Ultima 3 where he mostly committed to the fantasy setting the series is known for.
Now *if* they only add in characters (npc) named Biggs and Wedge the way Final Fantasy did, then the comparison would really something. Ironically, Phantasy Star series, though I haven’t played most them, is my favorite series after Dragon Quest. Of the Phantasy Star games, I first played the GameCube’s Phantasy Star Online, then GBA’s Phantasy Star collection, Phantasy Star Nova on the Vita, and finally all four first Phantasy Star on the Switch. Now *if* only they would port over Phantasy Star Universe games, especially Ambition of the Illuminous to the modern consoles including the Switch.
Imagine how much better the world would be if the copyright lawyers hadn't taken ownership of ideas from us over the last 30 years. It all went downhill after George Harrison lost his case.
Very interesting. I love the way you parallel the two stories. Who knows, Star Wars could very well have influenced the creators of Phantasy Star. Yet another great video. I'm watching a lot of your stuff lately, Goriya. I'm late to the party I guess but that's what binges are for 🤣. Looking forward to more.
Awww thanks for checking this out! This was my very first attempt at editing something other than a let's play and I'm still really proud of how it turned out! I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the channel!
Star Wars--particularly the original trilogy--is like a prism. The 'light' of so many earlier sci-fi, fantasy, and classic storytelling tropes and designs, were all funneled into a near-perfect singularity in Star Wars. Passing through that prism, that light is once again scattered into a spectrum of retellings and reinventions. Phantasy Star certainly takes inspiration directly from Star Wars; but one can also see the indirect influence of those earlier elements that came together in Star Wars as well as Phantasy Star.
I don't have a ton of "old science fiction" background per se, but Star Wars is probably the first thing I was exposed to when I was really young. So many motifs get recycled throughout different kinds of media of all forms, so this is a great thought.
@@hungrygoriyathe original trilogy was one of my earliest exposures to sci-fi/fantasy, too: my aunt having little me over to watch on VHS 🙂 Star Wars is such an institution. I did like all of the parallels in Phantasy Star that you highlighted. I don't think I would have realized half of them.
I was just talking about the storm troopers in my last game status update! I'm going to throw this in my watch later list since I want to see all of the game first 😊
Of course! I hope you do like it when you get to it. It really became a much bigger thing that I was expecting it to. I should have more LP updates for the weekend and early next week - I've only got the last stretch of the game left to record, so hopefully that'll go smoothly. :D

Feels more like a Star Wars movie than the prequels. Also no Jar Jar Binx, terrible acting, or lack of having an actual plot is a plus.
A lot of things are Star Wars rip offs. Which is understandable, considering all of the things Star Wars ripped off. Palma is like Endor's forest moon. We never see Endor.
Very much a state of confirmation bias. There are only so many Sci-Fi tropes in pop-sci, and you're just spotting those.
Read the book Eragon and it’s such a blatant rip-off of Star Wars. Kind of embarrassing.
Oh man... Star Wars is a good story so I'm not surprised people would want to emulate it, but yikes!
