Aug. 3rd, 2013 07:12 pmIn between prepping for Big Bang writing, I've been poking around a collection of Genesis games that we just picked up for the XBox. I started a new playthrough of Phantasy Star II, which I REALLY want to finish, because I've never managed to complete the game before.
Long story short; I was inspired by Robyn's Chrono Trigger game to name the party members after Atop the Fourth Wall characters!
Some choices are easy. The dagger-wielding, magic-using protagonist is LINK, of course.
One of the first party members you recruit is a buff monster hunter; I was going to name him HARV, but when you recruit him he tells you (paraphrased) "I have no special skills, but I'm good with a gun." After that, I of course had to name him NINE.
The other two male party members are a biologist with psychic techniques that damage organic creatures, and a mechanic with techniques that are useful against robots. I think they're going to be WAYN and OZZY, respectively.
Finally, there are three nameable female party members. Since AT4W is by and large a one-man operation, there aren't a whole lot of options here. One of the women on the team is a badass bounty hunter with wavy blond hair, so of course she's LIZ. The other two are a doctor who fights with scalpels and turns into your party's main healer, and a thief with an annoying habit of nicking items from shops and teleporting back to your home base. I think the thief could be MEG, possibly? Not sure what to name the doctor.
