  I remember the moment where they reveal the true history of the Alysa 3.  I said to myself "This really is a phantasy star!".

  I missed this franchise back in the day, mainly because I was an idiotic soldier for Nintendo during the great war. Unfortunately, I missed out on a few gems. Gamers need to follow the games and not the system. <br><br>I recently played through all 4 of these games. Even before I started III up, I had heard and had prepared myself for what I&apos;d heard as a crappy game. However, I didn&apos;t think it was bad at all. It seemed like a different game with some vague hints of past characters put in, but otherwise, I wouldn&apos;t have guessed it was from the same franchise. I&apos;ve played MUCH worse RPGs, and this one was pretty decent. I think I even liked it better than II, mainly because (and I&apos;m embarrassed to write this), I got lost in some of the dungeons in II. <br><br>I still prefer 1 and 4.

  I just remember the robot Chaz being super strong and the town theme in the first town was great

  I still love this game. &nbsp;The music, the vibe.....yeah, it&apos;s not 2 or 4, but I still enjoy it.

  When you were a kid, this was a wild trip of a game to play, essentially being thrown out into nowhere and being told nothing of what to do where to go or how to do things.<br><br>The thing with this game, is the LORE is actually extremely good and a VERY bad ass setting. The problem is that it is relatively empty, like it had a significantly intense design but didnt have the money to put it into play.<br><br>If you ever want to have a really fun time try using one of the AI D&amp;D platforms and design your setting to match PSIII. It shows you what the game could have been, if it was given enough attention.

  If ya think PS3 isn&apos;t a real PS because it&apos;s not in the same star system, I&apos;ve got bad news for you about every single Final Fantasy.

  That&apos;s a pretty hefty announcement. I hope your project pans out well, but I also know you&apos;re up for the task!

  My favorite RPG of all time was Skies of Arcadia. I found out the people that made it also worked on Phantasy Star

  PS III is my least favorite game in the series, but it did have that lineage mechanic, which I haven&apos;t seen used much since it&apos;s inception, so there&apos;s that. Imagine IV with that same mechanic... :hand-orange-covering-eyes:

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrQbXEXlabo&amp;t=843">14:03</a> and we&apos;re complaining about games of that price today.... Adjust for inflation and Phantasy Star III was well over $100. <br>We got ROBBED. D:&lt;

  Playing this after playing Phantasy Star 2 was like going from a medium-rare ribeye to a well-done sirloin.
