Trivia
Phantasy Star is one of many games that break the so called fourth wall.
In Sopia, the player finds a girl named Miki who asks: "Do you like Sega games?". If the player answers yes, she'll say "Of course! Sega games are best". If the player answers no, she says "I can't believe it. If you don't like the game,....why have you played so far!?!".
The same question in the Brazilian version has Sega replaced by Tec Toy.

The Megadrive version of Phantasy Star is in fact nothing more than the Master System ROM in a Megadrive cartridge, with enough start-up code to put the system into its Master System backwards compatibility mode; it can be regarded as a Master System converter integrated into the game.

Sega spelling Fantasy, with a "PH", instead of an "F" is not an error or Sega just trying to be clever, it is in fact the old English spelling of the word, thus Fantasy Star is Phantasy Star.
Phantasy Star was the first Master System game (if not the first console game) to be totally translated to Portuguese.

A couple of the developers of Phantasy Star have gone on to bigger and better things. Producer Reiko Kodama is part of Sega's OverWorks development team, and some of her work includes the Dreamcast/GC RPG Skies of Arcadia and some work on the Sakura Taisen series. Programmer Yuji Naka heads up Sonic Team, and one of his most famous series is (you guessed it) Sonic the Hedgehog!
