How is the story across all the games? Pretty decent? I will pick up the Sonic Ultimate Collection for the 360, (don't have a PS3).

It has a nice story. PS1 is different from Final Fantasy 1 in that it actually has a story... Well, sure Final Fantasy has a "story" but it certainly does not have a narrative. Phantasy Star does. The second one is kind of weird in terms of story. The third is slow but has a decent payoff. 4 is beyond solid. Arguably the best.

I remember PS1 the most though... Despite it's lack of story telling devices compared to the others. The characters stick with me more. I remember the search for Odin being absolutely epic. I think this is achieved by the fact that this game does not guide you at all.

Alis Landale is one of my favorite video game characters of all time (second only to Arsha+Peperogu).

I did a post on this not too long ago.  I began playing the first Phantasy Star for the Sega Master System and it was great!!  My only downfall is it can take forever getting lost in the dungeons, the very last dungeon is so hard and long, and then you fight a boss, then I can't don't want to ruin the rest but basically I have not played this for 2 weeks because the end is so freaking hard!!   >:(  But other than that, great game for the Master System!

Yeah, I felt bad that I didn't get around to playing PS1 for the VGConnect group... Wasn't that supposed to be September's game?  Or was it postponed?

These games were so damn good.  I remember trying to hunt down IV as a kid on launch day, took me hours of calling places.  Finally found a copy and at $110 it cost me 2 months of paper route money.  Awesome story, excellent bad guys, amazing music... I think it's time to play it again.  Genesis collection is my favorite PS3 game(s)!
