The RetroBeat: Phantasy Star IV is the perfect classic JRPG experience for Switch owners

I started my 2019 gaming by finally tackling a Japanese role-playing game I’ve wanted to play for some time: Phantasy Star IV: End of the Millennium.

I love JPRGs, but I spent a little time in 2018 on them. The two I was looking forward to — Ni no Kuni II and Octopath Traveler — both ended up disappointing me. While Dragon Quest XI did come out in 2018 to strong reviews, I’ve never been able to get into that series (although I do hope to eventually give Dragon Quest XI a try).
