Phantasy Star III - Truly The Black Sheep?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 авг 2024
- While universally considered the series's black sheep, PSIII has a lot going for it.
Developed by Sega, the third entry in this classic series originally released in 1990 and arrived in the West in 1991 as Phantasy Star III: Generations of Doom. It has seen several re-releases over the years. Footage in this video is from Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

What I like the most about this game is the generational structure. Other games have done it too, sooner or later, but I can't think of an earlier example.
I can't either. It was a game ahead of its time for sure.
This game was more or less the first exposure I had to the series, watching my bro play it. He borrowed the Sega Mega Drive from his friend with a bunch of games, including Sonic the Hedgehog, Sword of Vermillion, E-Swat and probs some others. I didn't remember much but did stick out that you are not playing the same character throughout, suddenly the first main character on throne sporting a moustache. Last year I got that Megadrive collection for the switch and played through PS3 as I had played through PS2 a couple of years prior, with intent to playing through the better regarded half of the series (1 and 4) later. Yeah, the flaws were apparent indeed but I did obviously use the FF functions and other quality of life stuff the collection allows.
This is real funny. I was just thinking for the past week about playing and beating this game.
BTW, based on your accent: Are you from somewhere around Eastern Kentucky?
I'm not, but I do love Kentucky. I exaggerate my accent for my videos, it helps with my stutter
Hey, have you heard about sand land? Not sure if it's your cup of tea but it looks interesting and it has akira toriyama's art style
Never heard of it, I'll check it out
@@rpg_haven figured as much, not a whole lot of people talking about it. Might be due to it being overshadowed by games like FF7 rebirth and Eiyuden chronicle:Hundred Heroes
Have you played the unicorn overlord demo? It's about 7 hrs long
Not yet
@@rpg_haven it's pretty fun and does the usually demo save data can be carried over to the main game
I remember a couple years ago wanting to play this one for being the odd one out but I wasn't in the correct mood to talk to so many NPCs with dubiously translated dialogue to figure out where to go lol. I do want to give it another shot some day. Some day lol.
IMO II is the worst of the four but a lot of people prefer II to III. I love the replay value. Being able to replay an RPG multiple times and get multiple stories was all but unheard back then. One of my biggest disappointments in Dragon Quest V when I finally played it (Sometime after I got my first DS which was after Dragon Quest VI came to the DS because I played that first) was how little impact the marriage choice had. I was expecting something much closer to the kind of impact that choice had in this game.
I really like the Phantasy Star series but its a let down to hear III isn’t good. I haven’t been able to play this one yet.
It has a lot of boring gameplay, but it's great for other reasons. I would definitely check it out if you liked the second one
PS4 is honestly a better game all around.
3 is good, don't get me wrong, but I definitely prefer 4. 4 was the first JRPG I ever played to completion, so I'm definitely biased, too.
I recently finished PS4 and definitely agree
@@rpg_haven Oh man, I look forward to any video you might make about it!
Who tf cares
I really wanted to get into Phantasy Star II after beating the first game since I absolutely loved that game. However, I quit as the Dungeons just seemed way to confusing and frustrating. Instead I played PSIII and while not nearly as good as the first game, I still liked. Now I wanna try PSIV as well but really want to play the 2nd game first but I have no idea how i should find the patience for that🫠
I love PSII. You could use online maps-that's what I did. It makes the dungeon crawling fun instead of annoying
@@rpg_havenYeah, although i do wish that there was a version of PS2 with an ingame map like the switch version of PS1
