    The graphics across different versions of the game vary significantly, with many users noting that the DOS version is inferior to the Commodore 64 and Amiga versions, particularly in terms of outdoor visuals and overall quality.

Overall, there is a consensus that the graphics could benefit from an upgrade to match the better versions available.

    • “Dear devs, if you are reading this, please implement the Amiga 500 version, it is the best version with wonderful graphics and a nice title tune I still remember.”

    • “There is no town graphics, just a text menu and the outdoor graphics were very poor.”
    • “At the very least, I was expecting graphics and sound uplift from the Atari/Amiga versions of the game, the best ones for these titles, and a proper release of Phantasie II for DOS with the same aforementioned improvements.”
