Let's Play Phantasy Star IV #31: ...Bark up the Wrong Tree
117While retreating from the climate facility a few times may not have been great, it ultimately made our group stronger through more experience and extra money. That and the fact that we didn’t appear to be that far into the place meant it didn’t take us long to return to where we were, even if Raja kept getting shot to near death each time. Provided I was more careful and used more of my abilities – something that I definitely should’ve been doing with Rune at this point – this would be a decent place to grind experience and money, but that’s something that I’m endeavouring to avoid whenever possible. In a well balanced RPG you should rarely need to grind, if ever, the challenges you face roughly in line with the experience of your group. That doesn’t mean that you won’t have challenging encounters thrown at you from time to time, but those challenges should be beatable with strategy and planning. That I’ve been able to get as far as I have in this game with little difficulty despite not using all the abilities available to my party is a testament to its balance, though if it retains that remains to be seen.
That aside, we need to get to the main controls of this place so that we can determine if it’s the thing messing up the climate of Dezolis. While I’d like to think that saving the planet would be that simple, it’d also mean the end of the game so chances are slim that we’ll be doing that here. That leaves no other leads save the one that Raja has been talking about since the beginning, the Garuberk Tower. If it’s anything like the tower on Motavia then it’ll be full of enemies, but it may also contain great treasure and hopefully the cause of the terrible blizzards.
