TRIVIA

Released on December 17, 1993 (Friday) in Japan at a retail price of 8,800 Yen.

The subtitle translates from Japanese as "The End of the Millennium".

Phantasy Star IV was at one point going to be a Mega CD title, but about midway through development, Sega promptly cancelled the Mega CD version and stuffed it onto the Mega Drive instead. This was probably done because of the low sales figures for the Mega CD.

Also, like the original Phantasy Star, it was going to have 1st person dungeons. This was later dropped, in favor of the more common, 3rd person perspective.

There are books on the bookshelf in Saya's house that reference Sonic the Hedgehog, Ecco the Dolphin, and Golden Axe.

There are cameos from previous Phantasy Star characters. Alis, and Myau appear and speak to you, while the rest of the cast of Phantasy Star and Phantasy Star II also make a non-verbal appearance.
