I had a little extra time this month and decided to close March out with not one, not two, but three Phantasy Star interviews!
Phantasy Star IV - 1993 Developer Interview

Phantasy Star - Composer Retrospective

The Phantasy Star IV interview is probably the meatiest of the bunch, while the PSII interview covers more of the marketing and commercial side of Sega's early flagship title. Finally, the Composer Retrospective contains some heartfelt anecdotes from Sega veterans IPPO and BO.
