With the Infinite Re:Imagine team playing some Phantasy Star TTRPG, we found ZaffreRevolution's video on the history of the classic Phantasy Star series really helpful for getting re-familiarized with the franchise! youtu.be/9mxFztd9ABg?...

Personal opinion- I think Fantastic Four: First Steps was actually excellent and the best FF movie we've gotten by a significant amount. It was bright, nostalgic, and had a certain love for the source material. Maybe trying to do a bit too much, but that's a common issue these days.

(though warlord was a class I really liked back in my 4e days.) And I should say, don't limit yourself to just a horse when thinking of cool commander concepts! Choose a falcon and make a character inspired by Yoshii Toranaga, or recreate a PF1 huntmaster and choose a canine companion!

Michael Sayre @animistgunslinger.bsky.social · 21/07/2025

Rather that the PF1 cavalier was a stronger influence than the 4E warlord, but yes. Cavalier was one of my favorite PF1 classes specifically because of its facility with teamwork feats courtesy of their tactician ability. I'd played that much more often and more recently than the 4e warlord-
