I remember a thread on either here or /v/ several years ago that mentioned some supplementary books or Phantasy Star IV. The plot twist was spoiled for me, but I am still interested in reading it/them, but I can't remember what they were called for the life of me. I don't think it was the drama cd, as the setting seemed to be a sequel to PSIV. Does anyone here know what i'm talking about?

Also, Phantasy Star thread. I'm interested in any extra content from any game, it's all good.

I think I remember it, but not sure if it's the same thing. Here's a possibly relevant image I have saved.

That image might be related to the sequel to PSIV part, at the bottom is supposed to be Rika with her and Chaz's son.
>Settei dreamed up by Yoshida-shi on twelve years after Millennium. The man himself says they're just doodles, but I'd sure like them to come true. [Here's where things get interesting - in the settei, a somewhat older and sadder Fal (sporting a Hunter's uniform and a new haircut - a ragged just-short-of-shoulder-length cut with a Starlights-style ponytail in back) with her *son* Rui (could be "Louie", but I'm assuming his name is a derivative/diminutive of his father's). Rudy isn't pictured. Why? Because he's DEAD. Yep, Shorty, in Yoshida's eyes, never even made it to 30. I can't read all the text next to Fal - small, scribbled characters again - but I can give you the gist of it - after Rudy's death, Fal joined the Hunter's Guild and became its most renowned Hunter. She raises her son on her own, and the bandana she now wears was a bequest from Rudy. Her son, Rui, is eight years old, though, because of his mother's blood, he's growing up a little faster than usual and should reach adulthood at 12 or 13. He's also showing great potential as a Hunter. But, back to Fal now - though the canonity of this is sketchy, I feel so sorry for the dear. The entity that was, in effect, her father, blows himself up, she leaves Forren, the only other person who was like family to her, to stay with Rudy, then he dies early, leaving her to take care of a child and become a brood mare for a new super-race of humans. What a sad fate.

I think this is it. The plot twist that was spoiled was that Rudy had died. I keep thinking about it and kind of filled in the blanks myself, thusly setting myself up for disappointment, but i'm still curious. Thanks anon.

Also, while I was searching before I made this thread I discovered Third, a comic that ties PSII and IV together long before IV came out. I'm sure it's old news by now, but i'm just finding it for the first time.
