The original Phantasy Star games had some great space ships. PsIV especially, the ship is lost technology you literally unearth (twice!). the takeoff and flight sequences have this incredible sense of wonder as you slowly move away from the spaceport and then WHIP into speed, so fast you loop over the map before changing to a cutscene of the destination coming into view.
It's a wonderful moment.
Phantasy Star at least made an effort to integrate ultratech into its world
Definitely my favorite magic+technology sci-fantasy setting. Really gave a great sense of a society rising to great heights, collapsing, and starting to climb again.
time to bring this aesthetic back. just casually going to space. new zelda has the opportunity, but i bet it won't take it
