It's Phantasy Star II! You'll need a dump of the U/E REV02 version as base ROM. This works like every other BizHawk APWorld.

Current options:

  • goal: Mother Brain or Neifirst.
  • item_distribution: Shuffle items from the vanilla game or randomly pick them from useful/filler lists.
  • useful_items: Affects the random mode above; choose how many items will be from the useful list.
  • xp_multi/meseta_multi: Speed up your playthrough! If you set these too high, you might hit overflows, but nothing should explode.

What gets randomised? Every item in chests and given by events.

What happens when I receive an item? It will go in the first empty inventory slot in your current party. If there's no room, you'll get a message on the bottom of the screen.

Known issues

  • Don't give yourself a Recorder before you've watched the opening scenes.
  • You can't !getitem for quest flags (like having the Jet Scooter) yet. I'll figure it out.
  • Recruiting Hugh/Anna/Kain/Shir can be annoying if your rando doesn't give you enough Dynamite early on. Persevere and try to keep Nei for as long as possible.

Future things

  • QoL options like no flashing, faster movement...
  • Smarter 'random' item picking based on tier/character...
  • Shuffle quest flags? Shop inventories?
  • 'Free Enterprise' mode where you start with the Jet Scooter and Spaceship?
  • Change what Shir steals from shops?

I'm eager to hear about your playthroughs and any requests that come to mind!
