Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross soar through Phantasy Star IV: The End of the Millennium.
We're guilty of focusing on Final Fantasy games when we talk about JRPGs because that's mostly what we grew up with.

Phantasy Star IV is considered to be the best, most friendly iteration of the main series, and you should join us to hear about how prescient it was in terms of design.
