I realized I wasn’t paying attention to spell check and “seperatre” is suppose to be “separate” but it’s too late for me to fix ok ok so the Algolian Seal is based of a Hexagram seal right ok we’re here. …..drawing this up was easy but explaining it will not be…I apologize for sloppiness in advance.
The rotating bits I think. So the entire seal itself rotates in use, but the highlighted parts rotate differently. In a seal, this would mean these are the roots for power/energy/magic to be created. The phrase “I wish it at an alliance from several years ago” can be considered an “invocation chant”. The planets are the natural (you could even say natal HEH) source of power this magic would take from, which is why they are also rotating.
Also note the planets with the rule of 3 in the seal. Yes there’s the 3 planets but looking across the seal those planets are in line with 2 more circles. This signifies the structure and how I came to the conclusion the Algolian seal is based off a Hexagram seal, as shown in the Lesser Key of Solomon. And now we know this is based of Abrahamic religions. However, when it comes to the general magic premise of Phantasy Star, I believe they took a more Hermetic approach to it based on the use of Zodiac symbols on Falz’s arena, the use of planets as power, mention of reincarnation in seals, and how they mention “Crowley” in PSP2I. (but we aren’t in that universe yet. Go ahead and google “Crowley” tho you’ll find him.) Hermetics also largely deal with Theurgy, which is what magic circles would be used in. (Theurgy is working with Divine through ritual, invocation or envocation, and can even get into possession. The ultimate goal in Theurgy is to unite with the Divine) But, alchemy is huge in Hermeticism, and I do feel there is a lack of alchemy references. Unless I’m missing them but I’ve been really going out of my way. It could be on a science level beyond my understanding, and relevant to Photon energy. Dr. Montague using corrupt Photon energy from monsters to make weapons is something I’ve considered, but I’d also like to know more about Dr. Osto and his experiments. There’s also, you know, the whole turning things into things using things which is a totally valid point but maybe I wanna know the how’s and why’s to that too ok.

much less alarmed by the 'cognitive impact' of LLM use than I am by the fact that so many people apparently believe your brain can atrophy or permanently lose function in the space of four months because you used fancy sparknotes to write a couple of essays

Translations;
For Dark Falz, I first struggled with the basic shape. It's hard to attack in a normal human form, so I ended up with the idea of a "Buddha statue." The image is of a statue sitting in meditation on a dragon pedestal. As the form progressed, I drew it with the image of a Kannon Bodhisattva and a celestial maiden, becoming even more divine. The small parts of Dark Falz's body are actually made up of elements of various previous enemies. /Satoshi Sakai (Book of Hunters, volume 1)
Dark Falz, a dark thought entity that resurrects every 1000 years, is the one responsible for the mysterious explosion that engulfed the people of Pioneer 1. He was also the one who led the Pioneer Project to Ragol, seeking talented people to serve as a vessel for resurrection. At first, Dark Falz's attacks are mainly darvants, but each time he is defeated, his form changes and his attacks become more ferocious. As a result, the seal on Dark Falz weakens, and by the time he reaches the third and final stage, he has become extremely close to his original spiritual form. Dark Falz has the power to destroy an entire civilization. If he can be defeated, he will return to the world of darkness. And the souls of those who were his mediums will also be freed.
The source of the design is, quite frankly, the "Great Buddha." The Dark Falz from the previous series was the centerpiece, and it was fused with a dark image. He said he put a lot of effort into creating a stern and violent atmosphere. It certainly seems like the effort was worth it.
This one has changed a little from the Great Buddha to resemble a Thousand-Armed Kannon. If you look closely, you'll see that the arms on the back that were closed in Phase 1 have opened up, and the rainbow-colored, sparkling wings have spread out. The giant beast on the lower half of the body is gone, and instead, the vital organs are exposed.
Dark Falz Phase 3 was designed with the image of a heavenly maiden with swaying feathers. It has changed from its previous sinister appearance to a shining, beautiful one, but it still attacks violently. And when you defeat it, you'll see Red Ring Rico. (Book of Hunters, Volume 2)
#gamer's only#The themes of Buddhist dualism is very interesting in Phantasy Star#and I like how in PSO it takes a non-dualism that the D-cells can good or evil
