Sega Genesis Collection - Phantasy Star 4 Cheats and Hints (PSP)

Originally, Phantasy Star IV was to have been designed for the Sega CD system, and would have been vastly different from its final incarnation. Features like 3-D dungeons (such as those featured in the first Phantasy Star), full motion video cutscenes, voice acting, and much more were planned. Unfortunately, poor sales and lack of support for the Sega CD platform caused a change of plans midway through development. Most of these features were scrapped from the final design, the intended voice cast declined, and the end result was a Sega Genesis cartridge game that bore little resemblance to the original plans for the CD-ROM version which would have been at least 240 megabit.

In Japan, the game was released as Phantasy Star - At the End of the Millennium[1]. In the American and European releases, the box names the game simply Phantasy Star IV, yet the title screen gives Phantasy Star: The End of the Millennium as the full title.

At the time, this was seen by the gaming press as an attempt to make it perceived as closer to the widely-praised Phantasy Star II, rather than the less well-received Phantasy Star III - although there are references to both titles during the story of the game. The combination of the titles is Phantasy Star IV: The End of the Millennium, used in the compilation Sega Genesis Collection. (Wikipedia)
