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.

Sequel to The Rub Rabbits!
LOL, Lekku. Good point...
I played a little Phantasy Star 2 with a megadrive emulator. It was pretty good! The music was awesome, I'll give it that.
