Phantasy Star IV
1990
Phantasy Star IV takes place 1,000 years after
the events of Phantasy Star II and 1,000 years before
the era of Phantasy Star III. After an event called
the Great Collapse, much of the once-thriving planet
Motavia has reverted to its original desert-state
as the climate and biosphere-controlling devices
installed over a thousand years previously begin
to fail, and life has become progressively more
difficult for the planet's inhabitants.
