In this case, Sword of Vermilion has a more open world. I'm not sure where the other extra point came from, but I'll attribute it to disliking the game. Puzzles also cover side quests (absent from PSII), and for as base as it was, Sword of Vermilion's main quest made a bit more sense and was easier to follow.Zenic Reveriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16441583549326102945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4946916641850178817.post-41343960676777786272014-06-01T16:28:42.675-07:002014-06-01T16:28:42.675-07:00Weird how I had a Genesis and loved RPGs, yet neve...Weird how I had a Genesis and loved RPGs, yet never tried this game... don't think I will now, but I probably would have liked it as a kid since I had so much free time. So this game gets a higher rating then Phantasy Star II mostly because of its game world and better puzzles? I thought Phantasy Star II's world was neat and original (as a kid, at the time) while this once seems all over the map and derivative.
