Phantasy Star II: Phantasy Star II Consistency Hack is a ROM hack for the Sega Genesis that enhances the original game by aligning it with elements from Phantasy Star IV. Key changes include updated planetary names, adjustments to line breaks to fix glitches, improved readability of names, and simplified equipment nomenclature. The protagonist's name defaults to Rolf for consistency. This patch stems from the Phantasy Star II Disassembly Project.
This is a sort of a purist hack, aiming for consistency with future titles, while also keeping the spirit of the original translation. Therefore, there are very few changes:
1) The planets and solar system were named according to Phantasy Star IV: Algol, Palma, Motavia and Dezoris.
2) Since the original names were way shorter (Algo, Palm, Mota and Dezo), some line breaks were adapted accordingly.
3) Speaking of line breaks, the infamous “The color of water around here certainly...” glitch was fixed, since all it needed were some line breaks, the whole phrase was there.
4) All names were changed from the default "UPPERCASE" to a easier to read "Proper Case".
5) Equipment and item names were also renamed for easier reading, only abreviating words as necessary. So "Carbon Suit" and "Carbon Buckler" are represented as "CarbonSuit" and "Crbn Bcklr", due to character limitations.
4) Leave the protagonist's name blank and simply press "END" to use "Rolf" and keep the Proper Casing on all characters.
This patch was possible thanks to Phantasy Star II Disassembly Project
