I agree QRS666, I understand it may not be too hard too Cassievania, but it does require a very specific type of playthrough. Enough for it to be a specific subset. It could even be extended to include a lot of level specific challenges. But, at the same time, it may be a bit unfair to the people who already did and unlocked these achievements. I plan to do them soon so I know I would be bothered to have to do them again on a subset.
Cassievania 17 Jan 2024 15:35
I literally couldn't beat the game playing it normally. The intended way to play the game feels somewhere between impossible and miserable. I gave up at Lashiec and restarted with a low-level run.

Phantasy Star 4 is such a weird game, in that it gets harder the more characters you have in your party. If there were achievements for playing the game the intended way, by beating each boss with all your characters alive, those would be so much harder than the low level challenges.
Cassievania 19 Jan 2024 06:53
I've added comments to all of the low-level achievements with all the details on how to do a low-level run!

A few miscellaneous notes:
- When you get to the part where Chaz is alone, just make a beeline for the sword. It took me maybe 4 tries to get to it.
- Don't do the Tower of Anger until your low level achievements are done. Chaz needs to be level 30 - 40 before he can get in 2 attacks to beat the boss at the end. You might also want to equip him with good gear, too, lol. (Oops.)
- Likewise, Rika needs to be level 14(?) for the Destruct macro, so save that for after the low level challenges are done, too.
- I found the easiest place to grind up Chaz and Rika was the first room in The Edge, since Rune and Wren can take care of every formation in 1 turn.

Cassievania if you keep the Guard Sword equipped you'll have the def bonus from that sword as long as you never look at chaz in the equipment menu or the status screen either.

That's also how you get the shadowblade glitch to work on Chaz.

Oh neat!

Can the Genesis Mini ROM also be linked? It contains an official fix the the lvl99 bug.
Tybis 10 May 2024 06:47
I've linked the Genesis Mini version, as well as a complete French translation (the previous one wasn't complete).

Yeah, I have to echo what others are saying about the level cap achievements - I've never played Phantasy Star IV and out the gate that kills my interest in this set. Maybe if I played it several times over and knew the game well, but I really don't want to constrain myself to such a specific playstyle or restrict my exploration just to have a shot at completing this in one playthrough. I'd like to be able to freely engage with the game's world and mechanics.
Cassievania 5 Sep 2024 03:08
@DeadCanDance PSIV is a special game, in that it's MUCH HARDER if you don't go for the low level achievements. Check out my comments on each to save yourself a lot of pain of trying to play through the game normally.
PlagueKBR 5 Sep 2024 23:11
I just recommend everyone not to try the set and have fun, because it's much better that way. There were several comments about the set and this disparity that is the low lv achievements, and it's clear that they didn't accept the opinions. The game is too good to limit your experiences trying to complete some achievements outside the curve. Let's just have fun the way it should be :3
Eltana 29 Oct 2024 02:35
Mastered! That's the whole quadrilogy for me. Definitely the strongest, with III as the weakest by a mile. Good set as a whole but, having gone through the whole game now, I agree with the sentiment that the "Limit" achievements would probably work best in a subset. Many thanks to Cassievania for her comments on them -- they were very helpful!
Questmoreland 3 Nov 2024 06:56
Just mastered this set! It was a great set, on one of my favorite RPGs ever. Thanks!
goabernathy 3 Dec 2024 15:40
Mastered my favorite game of all time.

Could not have done the level cap missions without @Cassievania's amazing strategy and insight. Kudos to you!!
motavia 19 Jan 2025 19:59
mastery #2!! one of my favorite games of all time, i'm so glad to have finally mastered it! the level cap achievements were a little tedious but i had a lot of fun with it overall!!
DiegoFlores 31 Jan 2025 05:34
Following Cassievania's tips is very easy, great work my friend!
Grandirus 20 Feb 2025 04:42
Just Re-Mastered the game.
The1Ross 23 Apr 2025 03:51
I'm not telling anyone what to do. It's your set so feel free to have whatever achievements you want in it, but for me those level cap ones are a complete turn off. That's just not a fun or challenging way to play the game.
The1Ross 23 Apr 2025 03:58
Also. I don't understand this talk of PSIV being hard with Rika and Chaz alive or if you just play normally. It was the first RPG I ever played when I was an elementary school student and I was able to beat it. I do remember having to do a little bit of grinding towards the end of the game, but was able to beat it without too much difficulty and without reading a guide (this was a time before my family even had the internet).
Cassievania 23 Apr 2025 05:54
The1Ross, I wish my experience was like yours. Here are two defining clips of my experience struggling WITHOUT doing the low-level challenge.

But then, as soon as I started over and left Rika and Chaz dead, I blazed through the game. I guess your mileage may vary. ๐Ÿ˜…
goabernathy 23 Apr 2025 11:57
The1Ross, remember that experiences may vary depending on the person. If it wasn't hard for you, great! That applies maybe to 5-10% of people who picked this up for the first time.

I also 2nd Cassievania on that last part lol
