Phantasy Star III
) 
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.
The Phantasy Star series is one of the best rpg franchises to hit the Sega Genesis. The series originally started with the master system then spawned 3 sequels then finally came the first online rpg series for a console namely Phantasy Starnline for the Sega Dreamcast then all the other next-gen consoles.
Phantasy star three is the sequel to phantasy star 2 it takes place a couple hundred or a couple thousand years later.The interesting thing about this game is its seperated into different generations you start off with one generation then your character gets married, you and your wife have kids and your children then take over the story and complete the game.This is the only rpg I've ever played that has this feature.this game also has a GBA version which is the same game with a few tweaks added. Its a great game for all old school players and will keep you busy for at least 40 to 50 hrs of gameplay.The best thing though about my puchase I made here is I got it very cheap and well worth the wait.If you dont puchase this version I would highly recomend getting the Phatasy star collection for the above mentioned GBA you get the first 3 games with rumors that sega will release Phantasy star 4 later this year on the gba, which at the time of its original release PS4 was 99.99 retail and to date the most expensive console game with the exception of neo-geo games.This game is a gem and a must have for rpg fanitics.

I've been looking for an older rpg to sink my teeth into, thanks for providing me with such. The only problem with the game (which is probably more my old tv than anything) is that when the game is playing, there seems to be....I don't know how to describe it....waves of pixels going accross the screen that can be kind of annoying, but after ten minutes of playing the game I've gotten used to it, so thanks for the game.

ClassicI'm not sure why this review won't save. It's a great game. All of the Master System and Genesis Phantasy Star titles are second to none.

Phantasy Star III - Generations of FunBack in the 8 and 16 bit era there were a few RPG series that were things of legend. One of the most noteworthy of them was the Phantasy Star games. This third game is well worth the play. With beautiful Genesis graphics, well thought out plot and nice music; Phantasy Star III is a game that is worth another playthrough or first look for anyone who loves classic RPGs.

I've read that PS III and IV were the best of the older Phantasy Star series, and set groundbreaking examples in their time. PSIII has an internal save feature and a highly rated story line, as well as a complete inventory system and party selection ex-cetera. While I'll often rant about how older games like Marathon should not be passed up just because of outdated graphics, I did find it hard to get into this game because the towns look pretty much all the same, and were pretty limited compaired to the kind of movement and variety available today. And since mine didn't come with a manual, I have to work to understand the menu system.
After that though, the game unfolds. It really is an interesting story, with many different generations playing to save the world (not ours), and interesting characters like a robot who fights with you, changes into a boat or airplane, and a system that lets you have 6 or so people in a party at a time. Cool stuff, but I won't give away the story.
If you have a Genesis, this is a cool find that's mere pocket change to buy, or good to get in a compilation (I believe there is one for the game boy advanced?)

Phantasy Star III, Generations of DoomReview created: 11/07/06(updated 11/07/06)

I bought Phantasy Star III as my second Phantasy Star game. I bought a sega genesis platform just so I could get PSII and PSIII. The original Phantasy Star was unique in its time. It was truly the original RPG game (role playing game). It borrowed elements (creatures)of Star Wars and Dune and wove an original but classic sci-fi/fantasy story. It was like an anime comic book story that you had to play out navigating caves, mazes, and horrific creatures and villians. PSIII also borrows from the BattleStar Galactica theme as it occurs on spaceships escaping from the Planet Palma of the Algo system after it exploded. The space ships have large atmospheric enclosed terrains that you explore and carry out your quests through several generations of your family tree. After playing all the generations down one branch of your family tree, you can go back and choose different wives and play-out entirely new branches of the game. It is like multiple games in one, and will give you hours and hours of fun play. I have played all four PS games over and over again for almost 18 years, and I'm a 56 year old college graduate, so I can say they all have been entertaining and challenging. I bought additional copies on eBay so I would have back-ups if any broke or lost their functionality. All have kept their battery powered SAVE feature, including the original I bought 18 years ago! Phantasy Star III has the best graphics of any of the four and is the most unique. Many critics say it deviates from the theme of the other three. Such as, it is not played on the planets of the Algo system, and represents a side story of the original theme, which is continued in fashion with PSII and PSIV. Someday my grand children may find hidden treasures in my Phantasy Star collections.

PHANTASY STAR III: Generations of Doom (Sega, 1992) Sega's first two Phantasy Star games were some of my favourite role playing games ever made and I was really looking forward to next installment in the cult hit series. Here we have Phantasy Star III: Generations of Doom. Sega decided to make some very radical changes to the series like adding a generations aspect to the story lines, they changed the graphics so they appear more realistic, and the whole game has a all new medieval feel to it now. Despite their best efforts, many had mixed reactions to part III and that includes me. Phantasy..
