Phantasy Star Gaiden & Adventure…whats your opinion?

These Game Gear games have english patches, so i wanted to get into them.

Im only at the beginning, but my impressions of Phantasy Star Gaiden arent good. No battle animations? Just that earthbound crap of a shaking screen signifying damage. Art and music seem mediocore as well. But its a Phantasy Star classic game so i will chug through out of curiosity. But c'mon, even Madou Monogatari (game gear puyo puyo RPG) had battle animations - beautiful game btw. So did Magic Knight Rayearth.

An RPG has to have at least one of three things to be enjoyable for me: Good art style or Good music or Good battle animations. Phantasy star 3 for example lacks good battle animations but makes up for it in other areas.

Phantasy Star Adventure seems more acceptable i think. Its a text adventure, so cant be too disappointed i think. I grew up on the Legend point and click games, so this is familiar territory.
