About Me
I'm a writer, posting daily on my own blog at www.thegrumblygamer.com, and right now I spend most of my free time gaming or writing about gaming. Ironic that when I was working every day I lamented about never having time to play games, and now that I'm an unemployed statistic that's all I do, and I wish I had a job and less time to sit and play games.
I'm also a single father of a pre-teen girl, who is also an avid gamer, so it's fun to be a part of teaching the next generation of gamers.

Playing Eternal Sonata, Bioshock (again), and trying to catch them all.

Are you there, Sega? It's me, Grumbly.

I have decided that it is actually Sega that can solve all of the world's ills. Financial crisis, war, hatred, poor hygiene, those weird little dessert cakes at Chinese buffets that look different but for some reason all taste exactly the same, and so on.

They can do all of this, and more, by releasing a new Phantasy Star game.

I don't mean another online entry, like Phantasy Star Online or Phantasy Star Universe (both of which have claimed far more of my life than I feel comfortable admitting), or the PSO-like Phantasy Star Zero coming out for the DS later this year (which I will buy, and it will own my soul as its predecessors have).

No, I mean... Phantasy Star V.

The world needs a new, true Phantasy Star RPG. Turn-based gameplay. Exploring a vast world. Crawling through dungeons in that fantasy/ sci-fi setting the series is known for.
Of course, we'd need a deep story, gorgeous cinematics, and the little gameplay updates the genre has seen since the Genesis days.

I'm not even picky as to the system. Next-gen consoles would be ideal (for the 360, my system of choice, but I would go out and buy a PS3 the day the game was released if necessary). A DS version would be acceptable. Really, whatever it takes.

Naturally, a certain android named Wren would have to make an appearance.

So there you go. The solution to the world's various crises can be solved by Sega bringing a new Phantasy Star RPG into existence. Seems easy enough, really.

From the sounds of things this might cause people to have more bad hygiene!

OK, I'll see your Shenmue, and raise you a new Panzer Dragoon Saga.

LOL, Lekku. Good point...

Shenmue would be good. Maybe it will happen during our lifetime.

I played a little Phantasy Star 2 with a megadrive emulator. It was pretty good! The music was awesome, I'll give it that.

Sega should develop a new system and release it with a new Toe Jam & Earl. Day one purchase by all.
