Turned based Phantasy Star and Shinning Force remain at the top of my list of Sega IPs that need to return. At the very least I'd take a Shining Force collection that has 1,2,3, CD and the Game Gear entries.
I was hesitant to put these two on. I've personally played more PSO than the RPG version. And shame on me, I don't remember much about Shining Force to talk about it properly.
That said, so many Sega licences deserve their place in this list.
A new Phantasy Star in the numbered series would be amazing. Shining Force too. But I’d settle on some collections as that’s probably the best we will get
I don't trust Sega to do a proper comeback. The games will be just remastered and/or monetized to death.
Speedrunning is about save stating though a game until your muscle memory is good enough that you can do it flawlessly.
The opposite is playing a game blind and adapt as you go. As games are thought to be played.
I tried doing so myself though it didn't really count. I spent have the time trying to perfect certain movements. Think It look me like 4 hours with all the extra stuff I was doing. But to be fair I've 100% Mario 64 a bunch over the years and I've watched all the simple flips vs minus world speedrunner vs multiple youtubers stuff so I kind of new what to do. Just didn't know the route and how to actually perform a single speedrun strat. Honestly it's really enjoyable to pull the speedrun strats off.
I have a great appreciation for speedrunning and respect those who push themselves and their games to heights nobody would've thought possible. But it's something I could never, ever see myself doing. I like taking my time through games and enjoying them with an air of discovery and mystery, rather than breaking them down to their base components and figuring out the optimal method of play.
