Game: Phantasy Star II
Platform: Sega Genesis
Completed: September 14, 2021
Rules: Beat the game using Rolf only. Except he's YOYO!
Part: 2 of 7

In part two YOYO finds Teim and some dynamite, solves the mystery of the Biosystems Lab, ignores a bunch of people who want to join his team, finds the garbage dump Roron, discovers the Slugmess, and fails to restore peace to the planet Algo due to greed.

Here are some highlights:

19 minutes, 30 seconds - Look how I enter a battle right after using a monomate without even taking a step. Look at it!

57 minutes, 40 seconds - Well it turns out that the sleep status effect is an instant game over. Apparently if your entire team is asleep then you just lose. I hope there aren't many enemies who can put you to sleep. Too tired to fight!

4 hours, 3 minutes, 30 seconds - Rolf is named YOYO in this playthrough because that's the name my father and I gave him when we first played the game. Same with Rudo being named YAZO here. All other characters kept their default names back then, so they do now as well. Kain asks "Don'cha think tha's a good name?" You tell him no, and it says "Your name fits you well!". That's an oopsie.

4 hours, 5 minutes - Even though this is a YOYO only playthrough, I decided to use Shir to get the Visiphone. The Visiphone allows you to save your game anywhere and can only be found by having her enter the Central Tower baggage room in Paseo after reaching level 10. At that point she can randomly steal the item. This is pretty much essential, but technically not one hundred percent required, although the final dungeon would be absurd without it since there is no save point anywhere near it and you'd have to go through Crevice every single time you wanted to get to and from a town to save. I never have Shir take any action in battle so she never helps except for with the Visiphone. This could have technically been done without her, but this would be a playthrough without the Visiphone which would be crap mo. Also, Shir dies immediately in the very first battle she participates in. Lovely.

5 hours, 1 minute - I cut it way too close here but look how insane these Slugmess enemies become. They multiply every single turn for many rounds and end this man's career. I have never seen this before. They also do that strange thing where they do their multiply animation but it fails. By the way, in a YOYO only playthrough, a Star Mist is the same as a Trimate so no need to hold onto them.
