My all time hit list of that Era at Chrono Trigger(snes ), FF6 (snes), Ps4(Megadrive), Albion(by bluebyte Dos game) for straight up RPGs next tier would include mixed categories Like Shining force series (tactical rpg) and Terranigma (snes a action RPG thats... frankly a bit odd...) they don't make em like they used to...well except when they do... retro indie games are all the rage now days i suppose I mean harvest moon as matched pretty well by Stardew valley and they improved on the formular while keeping the pixel aesthetics

@DarkKnux09 Actually, the Dark Force/Profound Darkness connection is cannon--Rykros entering the Algol system every 1000 years coincides with the weakening of some weird seal or other that allows a fragment of PD to enter Algol (eg, DF). Dunno about the 'using Alys' body' thing (although that did happen, to an extent, with Zio, and to a greater extreme, Seth), but all this means is: WE. NEED. PHANTASY. STAR. FIVE. Not 'Online', but FIVE.

That's the problem with time involved story lines. Still 4 as a stand-alone....woah. Good questions. Zio/Seth are perfect examples of weaklings overtaken by PD and Alys and Rune are examples of the opposite....yet the interloper cares for the entities of good while PD uses and throws aside....which is its/her/his undoing. Alas. DF much stronger than PD. Happens.

But I think that the women on the title screen of II are just supposed to be what the peoples of Algol imagined "Mother Brain" to look like, since no one ever seemed to have laid eyes on it. And because no one knew the location, perhaps they believed MB was omnipresent as well.

Its a huge throwback to every game, really. Not only Alis and Alys, who is close to Rune and Chaz, but Mother brain as well. It's taking a shape formed from the malice, pain, hatred, and anguish in the heroes' hearts. A form derived from millennia of battle that has the most impact on the hearts of those who would stand before it.
