'''''Phantasy Star II''''' ([[Japanese language|Japanese:]] &#12501;&#12449;&#12531;&#12479;&#12471;&#12540;&#12473;&#12479;&#12540; II) is a [[Role-playing game|role-playing game]] released in [[1989]] for the [[Sega Mega Drive|Mega Drive/Genesis]], and later in two different compilations for the [[Sega Saturn]] and [[Game Boy Advance]] named [[Phantasy Star Collection]]. It also has a remake, named as [[Phantasy Star: Generation 2]] for the [[Playstation 2]] which was released in 2005 as part of the [[Sega Ages]] line up. Part two of SEGA's [[Phantasy Star series]] of games that began in [[1987]], ''Phantasy Star II'' is a true sequel to the first game of the series, carrying over many of the familiar elements that made Phantasy Star so original. Along with other Phantasy Star games, Phantasy Star II is seen as a particularly difficult RPG.

The battle system is turn-based, allowing the player to chose commands for up to four characters while the enemies sit idly by. Each of the eight characters has a different set of preferred weapons and armor, as well as techniques, suited to the character's job.

==Trivia==

[[Image: PstarII_biosystems_graph.jpg |right|frame|Information from the Bio-systems Lab Recorder showing climate information from &#8220;the“the past few years.&#8221;”]]

*There is debate over the date of the US version of Phantasy Star II. The Japanese version gives a date of AW 1284, exactly 1000 years before [[Phantasy Star IV]], and this is confirmed in the US version of Phantasy Star IV when Rika says, "Parma, the first planet of the Algo solar system, was destroyed in AW 1284 when the artificial satellite, Gaira, crashed into it..." However, due to the given age of Phantasy Star IV&#8217;s Wren (998), as well as data found in the Bio-Systems Lab that provides information on climate conditions for the years AW 1280-1286, some players have theorized that the date of the US version of Phantasy Star II is actually AW 1286. (See [http://camineet.net/theories/ps2date.shtml] for more information.) It's entirely possible that the computer readout might have been making an estimate about what could occur in the next two years, given the data available in the recorder and its own calculations, but this seems unlikely.

*The Japanese title of Phantasy Star II literally translates to, &#8220;Phantasy Star II: At the End of the Restoration.&#8221; The Japanese subtitle is reportedly also a phrase which can mean, &#8220;At the end of the time which can never be Returned to.&#8221; The subtitle was dropped for the US version of the game.
