Taking place in a world which is inhabited by multiple small kingdoms, ''Phantasy Star III'' starts with a myth of a massive battle between the followers of Orakio, called Orakians who preach technological advancements, and the followers of Laya, called Layans who are talented with magic. After the war's abrupt end, both sides retreat to their respectable regions but animosities between the two races remain.

Centuries later, Rhys, prince of the small kingdom of Landen, discovers an unconsious, amnesiac young woman named Maia in a beach and nurses her back to health. The two eventually fall in love and decide to marry. However, during the wedding ceremony, Maia is kidnapped by a dragon. Filled with anger, Rhys decides to rescue Maia on his own, making allies and enemies along the way. Little does he know that he will start a decades-long struggle to save the planet from a catastrophic fate.

Unlike the other games, the story does not take place in the Algo star system. Over the course of the game it is revealed that the planet the characters inhabit is actually not a planet but a rather a massive space ship, originally built to save the inhabitants of planet Palma, which was destroyed during the events of ''[[Phantasy Star II]]''. It is also revealed that the game takes place 1,000 years after the events of the second game.

Over the course of the game, it is revealed that the world the characters inhabit is actually not a planet but a rather a massive space ship built to save the inhabitants of the planet Palm (which was destroyed during the events of ''[[Phantasy Star II]]'') and that both factions are the descendants of those survivors. After three generations, both factions mix, and their descendants discover that all the conflicts among the different kingdoms were caused by the Dark Force, the main antagonist of the previous games, which is defeated in a final decisive battle that takes place 1,000 years after the events of ''[[Phantasy Star IV]]''.

This game was revolutionary for Sega at the time, as unlike other ''Phantasy Star'' games it featured multiple endings and twisting gameplay paths due to its focus on three generations of heroes. Over the course of the game, the player will eventually control the children and grandchildren of the first generation of heroes, depending on their marriage choices at the end of the first two generations, thus leading to one of four different endings. Across all three generations, the player will travel through seven lands, battling creatures and learning about the world that the game takes place in.

''Phantasy Star III'' is a role-playing game. It was revolutionary at the time as, unlike the other ''Phantasy Star'' games, it featured multiple endings and twisting gameplay paths due to its focus on three generations of heroes. Over the course of the game, the player eventually controls the children and grandchildren of the first generation of heroes. At the end of each generation, the main character is given the option of marrying one of two women he has encountered during his travels. This choice determines the new main character of the next generation, the child of the previous lead. The choice also affects the gameplay, as the main character may be Orakian or a mix of Layan and Orakian, which differ in their ability to use techniques and their level of proficiency with them. Two paths in the second generation in turn lead to four paths in the third and final generation, and depending on which of the four main characters is played, the ending will vary. Across all three generations, the player travels through seven lands (Landen, Aquatica, Aridia, Draconia, Elysium, Frigidia, and Terminus), battling creatures and learning about the world that the game takes place in.

The graphic team was different to those behind ''[[Phantasy Star]]'', ''[[Phantasy Star II]]'' and ''[[Phantasy Star IV]]''.
+
The main character leads a party of up to five characters. Other characters join and leave the party as the story progresses. Each character has his or her own limited inventory of items and equips his or her own weapons and armor pieces. Characters can equip separate one-handed weapons or shields in each hand or a single two-handed weapon. Different characters can use different equipment and learn different techniques.
 +
 
 +
The characters explore an overworld containing towns and dungeons using an overhead perspective. The seven biospheres of the world are arranged in a hexagonal formation connected by a series of passageways, each of which is sealed and can only be opened if the main character is in possession of a particular jewel. Dungeons include these passageways, which must be traversed to move to a different land, and also caves and other areas that must be explored to find characters, collect items, or complete other objectives in order to progress the plot. Both dungeons and the overworld have random enemy encounters as the party moves through them. Dungeons additionally have treasure chests for finding items.
 +
 
 +
Battles are turn-based and use a first-person perspective (similar to the original ''Phantasy Star''). Enemies appear in two rows: the back row contains larger enemies that cannot be targeted, except by long-ranged weapons, until the smaller enemies in the front row have been eliminated. The turn order for combatants is determined by each character's speed rating. The game uses an icon-based menu system for battles. On each turn, the player can choose to issue individual commands to each character, to allow the computer to play the turn for the player, or to allow the computer to play the entire battle (unless interrupted by pressing {{B}}). The party can also attempt to run from the encounter, but this is not always successful. When issuing commands, the player can choose to order a character to attack, use a technique (a special ability that costs technique points to use), use an item, or defend. Defending reduces the damage taken by the character but forfeits the ability to perform an action for that turn. Enemies can be targeted individually when giving orders. Characters and enemies are defeated when they run out of hit points. When the enemies are defeated, the party earns meseta, the in-game currency, and surviving party members gain experience.
 +
 
 +
As the characters gain experience points, they increase in level, gaining access to new techniques and raising their statistics:
 +
 
 +
*'''HP:''' The character's hit points, which is the amount of damage the character can take in combat before being defeated.
 +
*'''TP:''' The character's technique points, which is used for performing techniques.
 +
*'''Speed:''' The character's turn priority in the battle order.
 +
*'''Damage:''' Determines the damage done by physical attacks.
 +
*'''Defense:''' Reduces the damage taken from enemy attacks.
 +
*'''Intel:''' Determines the character's technique points.
 +
*'''Stamina:''' Determines the character's hit points.
 +
*'''Luck:''' Unknown effect.
 +
*'''Skill:''' Unknown effect.
 +
 
 +
Enemy attacks can sometimes inflict a poison status effect on characters, which prevents them from being healed until the ailment is removed by an item or a technique.
 +
 
 +
Towns are safe zones without any random encounters that contain NPCs that provide the characters with hints on how to proceed and buildings where the player can exchange meseta for items, equipment, and services. Towns include weapon, armor, and item shops and buildings where party members can rest to heal and save the game, where fallen allies can be revived, and where techniques can be rebalanced. The game ends if the entire party is defeated in battle and must be restarted from a previous save.
 +
 
 +
When out of battle, the player can invoke a menu with {{C}} to view the status of any character, change the party order (members placed at the front of the party are more likely to be attacked), manage items, and use out-of-combat techniques (including healing and teleportation techniques).

There are three types of party members: Orakains, Layans, and cyborgs. Orakains are can equip a variety of weapons but do not learn any techniques. Layans are limited in which weapons they can use but learn various techniques. Cyborgs (called androids in ''Phantasy Star IV'') can only use one type of weapon and do not learn any techniques.

(*) There seems to be a confusion regarding the term "Cyborg" in ''Phantasy Star III''. "Cyborg" is used to describe half-human and half-robotic individuals, and none of the "Cyborgs" in the game have any organic bodies. The correct term should be "Android", which is later correctly used in ''[[Phantasy Star IV]]'' for describing Wren and Demi. It is unknown whether this is a developer oversight or a translation error.

The game has a unique technique system in which techniques are divided into four categories (Melee, Heal, Order, and Time) containing four techniques apiece. Characters can be knowledgeable in up to three categories of techniques and immediately have access to all of the techniques for those categories. The player can visit a Technique Shop in a town to redistribute the power of those techniques; the player chooses a character and a category, and the four techniques for that category appear as a square surrounding a cursor. Moving the cursor increases the priority for a particular technique, reducing its TP cost and increasing its efficacy, at the cost of weakening another technique.

===Development===

The game was developed by a different team from ''[[Phantasy Star]]'' and ''[[Phantasy Star II]]'' since many members of the original team were working on the Mega Drive port of ''[[Sorcerian]]''. As such, it features a drastically different art style from the other games in the series.
 +
 +
The game features a branching narrative with multiple gameplay paths set it apart from other role-playing games due to the crowded market at the time. Because of data storage limitations and time constraints, the final segments of the game vary relatively little and the game's dialogue and the detail of its environments are minimal.

    Phantasy Star III: Generations of Doom, known as Toki no Keishousha: Phantasy Star III (時の継承者 ファンタシースターIII) in Japan, is a 1990 RPG developed and published by Sega for the Sega Mega Drive.

    Like its predecessor, only Japanese, English, and Portuguese translations were produced officially.

    Story

    Phantasy Star III, Introduction.png

    Introduction

    Taking place in a world which is inhabited by multiple small kingdoms, Phantasy Star III starts with a myth of a massive battle between the followers of Orakio, called Orakians, who preach technological advancements, and the followers of Laya, called Layans, who are talented with magic. After the war's abrupt end, both sides retreat to their respectable regions, but animosities between the two races remain.

    Centuries later, Rhys, prince of the small kingdom of Landen, discovers an unconscious, amnesiac young woman named Maia in a beach and nurses her back to health. The two eventually fall in love and decide to marry. However, during the wedding ceremony, Maia is kidnapped by a dragon. Filled with anger, Rhys decides to rescue Maia on his own, making allies and enemies along the way. Little does he know that he will start a decades-long struggle to save the planet from a catastrophic fate.

    Unlike the other games, the story does not take place in the Algo star system. Over the course of the game, it is revealed that the world the characters inhabit is actually not a planet but a rather a massive space ship built to save the inhabitants of the planet Palm (which was destroyed during the events of Phantasy Star II) and that both factions are the descendants of those survivors. After three generations, both factions mix, and their descendants discover that all the conflicts among the different kingdoms were caused by the Dark Force, the main antagonist of the previous games, which is defeated in a final decisive battle that takes place 1,000 years after the events of Phantasy Star IV.

    Marriage choice

    Phantasy Star III is a role-playing game. It was revolutionary at the time as, unlike the other Phantasy Star games, it featured multiple endings and twisting gameplay paths due to its focus on three generations of heroes. Over the course of the game, the player eventually controls the children and grandchildren of the first generation of heroes. At the end of each generation, the main character is given the option of marrying one of two women he has encountered during his travels. This choice determines the new main character of the next generation, the child of the previous lead. The choice also affects the gameplay, as the main character may be Orakian or a mix of Layan and Orakian, which differ in their ability to use techniques and their level of proficiency with them. Two paths in the second generation in turn lead to four paths in the third and final generation, and depending on which of the four main characters is played, the ending will vary. Across all three generations, the player travels through seven lands (Landen, Aquatica, Aridia, Draconia, Elysium, Frigidia, and Terminus), battling creatures and learning about the world that the game takes place in.

    The main character leads a party of up to five characters. Other characters join and leave the party as the story progresses. Each character has his or her own limited inventory of items and equips his or her own weapons and armor pieces. Characters can equip separate one-handed weapons or shields in each hand or a single two-handed weapon. Different characters can use different equipment and learn different techniques.

    The characters explore an overworld containing towns and dungeons using an overhead perspective. The seven biospheres of the world are arranged in a hexagonal formation connected by a series of passageways, each of which is sealed and can only be opened if the main character is in possession of a particular jewel. Dungeons include these passageways, which must be traversed to move to a different land, and also caves and other areas that must be explored to find characters, collect items, or complete other objectives in order to progress the plot. Both dungeons and the overworld have random enemy encounters as the party moves through them. Dungeons additionally have treasure chests for finding items.

    Battles are turn-based and use a first-person perspective (similar to the original Phantasy Star). Enemies appear in two rows: the back row contains larger enemies that cannot be targeted, except by long-ranged weapons, until the smaller enemies in the front row have been eliminated. The turn order for combatants is determined by each character's speed rating. The game uses an icon-based menu system for battles. On each turn, the player can choose to issue individual commands to each character, to allow the computer to play the turn for the player, or to allow the computer to play the entire battle (unless interrupted by pressing B). The party can also attempt to run from the encounter, but this is not always successful. When issuing commands, the player can choose to order a character to attack, use a technique (a special ability that costs technique points to use), use an item, or defend. Defending reduces the damage taken by the character but forfeits the ability to perform an action for that turn. Enemies can be targeted individually when giving orders. Characters and enemies are defeated when they run out of hit points. When the enemies are defeated, the party earns meseta, the in-game currency, and surviving party members gain experience.

    As the characters gain experience points, they increase in level, gaining access to new techniques and raising their statistics:

    • HP: The character's hit points, which is the amount of damage the character can take in combat before being defeated.
    • TP: The character's technique points, which is used for performing techniques.
    • Speed: The character's turn priority in the battle order.
    • Damage: Determines the damage done by physical attacks.
    • Defense: Reduces the damage taken from enemy attacks.
    • Intel: Determines the character's technique points.
    • Stamina: Determines the character's hit points.
    • Luck: Unknown effect.
    • Skill: Unknown effect.

    Enemy attacks can sometimes inflict a poison status effect on characters, which prevents them from being healed until the ailment is removed by an item or a technique.

    Towns are safe zones without any random encounters that contain NPCs that provide the characters with hints on how to proceed and buildings where the player can exchange meseta for items, equipment, and services. Towns include weapon, armor, and item shops and buildings where party members can rest to heal and save the game, where fallen allies can be revived, and where techniques can be rebalanced. The game ends if the entire party is defeated in battle and must be restarted from a previous save.

    When out of battle, the player can invoke a menu with C to view the status of any character, change the party order (members placed at the front of the party are more likely to be attacked), manage items, and use out-of-combat techniques (including healing and teleportation techniques).

    Characters

    There are three types of party members: Orakains, Layans, and cyborgs. Orakains are can equip a variety of weapons but do not learn any techniques. Layans are limited in which weapons they can use but learn various techniques. Cyborgs (called androids in Phantasy Star IV) can only use one type of weapon and do not learn any techniques.

    Mieu and Wren are available in all scenarios as companions.

    First generation

    Phantasy Star III, Characters.png
    		 Rhys (ケイン・サ・リーク)
    The young prince of the small Kingdom of Landen. After his wife-to-be is kidnapped by a dragon during the wedding day, Rhys escapes from his father's castle and starts an adventure that will eventually save their planet. Direct descendant of Orakio from the legend.

    Rhys cannot use any techniques but physically powerful.

    Phantasy Star III, Characters.png
    		 Maia (マーリナ・ル･シール)
    Not Playable. Maia is the amnesiac woman rescued by Rhys. The two eventually fell in love but she is kidnapped during their wedding ceremony. It is later revealed that she is the princess of Layan Kingdom of Cille. She is one of the candidates for Rhys to marry at the end of the first scenario.
    Phantasy Star III, Characters.png
    		 Mieu ( ミュー・タイプS2)
    Mieu is a cyborg that once worked for Orakio. Rhys encounters her soon after starting his journey and Mieu, realizing that he is a descendant of Orakio, joins him, serving him and his descendants over the next years.

    Mieu can use claws as weapons and she is quite fast. She can use Healing and Order class techniques in combat.

    Phantasy Star III, Characters.png
    		 Wren (シーレンTYPE386)
    Wren is another cyborg once fought under Orakio. Unlike Mieu, Wren is ranged combat oriented and can transform to different types of vehicles if the necessary parts are found. He also acts as a mechanic. Can use Melee and Time-based techniques.
    Phantasy Star III, Characters.png
    		 Lyle (ライル・ラ・ミラー)
    Lyle is the prince of Shusoran, a Layan kingdom located at Aquatica region. His reasons for joining Rhys and his true motives remain a mystery until the second generation.

    Lyle can use staves and can use Melee type magic.

    Phantasy Star III, Characters.png
    		 Lena (リナ・ノ・サテラ)
    Princess of the neighboring kingdom of Satera, Lena was supposed to be Rhys' wife until the latter encountered Maia and fell in love with her. Despite this, Lena decides to help Rhys to find Maia, first helping her escape from the dungeon and later joining him. She is one of the candidates for Rhys to marry at the end of the first scenario.

    Lena cannot use any magic but her stats are slightly above average.

    Second generation

    Phantasy Star III, Characters.png
    		 Ayn (アイン・ル・シール)
    Ayn is the son of Rhys and Maia. After Cille and Shusoran come under attack by Cyborgs and her family forced to run away, Ayn is tasked by her parents to find a safe refugee from the invasion.

    Being half Layan from her mother's side, Ayn can use Heal and Time techniques and inherits his father's high physical stats.

    Phantasy Star III, Characters.png
    		 Nial (レイン・サ・リーク)
    Nial is the son of Rhys and Lena and prince of now united Landen-Satera Kingom. After their kingdom comes under attack by powerful monsters, his parents charge him to find who is responsible.

    Nial is pretty much identical to Rhys: cannot use magic but has much higher physical stats than Ayn.

    Phantasy Star III, Characters.png
    		 Thea (ラン・ラ・ミラー)
    Thea is the daughter of Lyle and Princess of Shusoran. During the initial attack of Cyborgs, she gets kidnapped and Lyle asks Ayn to find her. She is one of the candidates Ayn can marry at the end of his scenario.

    While physically weak, Thea can use Heal and Melee class techniques.

    Phantasy Star III, Characters.png
    		 Sari (リン・ノ・サテラ)
    Sari is the daughter of Lena, and princess of now united kingdom of Landen-Satera. After deciding to fight against the cyborg invasion on her own, Sari joins Ayn's group and hands him over the Power Topaz after Ayn defeats her in combat. She is one of the candidates Ayn can marry at the end of his scenario.

    Being an Orakian, Sari cannot use any techniques but makes up for it by having very high physical stats, almost on par with Nial.

    Phantasy Star III, Characters.png
    		 Ryan (ダン・カ・シウム)
    Ryan is the leader of the Layan resistance who is against the violent ways of Lune, who is responsible for the monster attack on Landen-Satera. Believing that Nial is in cahoots with Lune for rescuing Alair, Lune's sister, he tries to have them captured. He joins Nial's group after realizing they are also opposing Lune.

    Ryan uses Time based techniques and uses staves in combat.

    Phantasy Star III, Characters.png
    		 Laya (ライア)
    Laya is the same named younger sister of the Laya from the millennium old legend. After being placed in suspended animation, she is awakened by Nial's group and joins the fight to stop Lune. She is not encountered during the Ayn's scenario but can be recruited during Sean's and Crys' scenarios. She is one of the candidates for Nial to marry at the end of his scenario.

    Laya uses bows as weapons and can use Heal and Order based techniques.

    Phantasy Star III, Characters.png
    		 Alair (Louise Kay Eshyr)
    Not Playable. Alair is the younger sister of Lune and she was once a commander for Laya's armies, only recently revived from suspended animation. Unlike her older brother, she believes co-existence with Orakians and promises to help Nial. She is one of the candidates for Nial to marry at the end of his scenario.

    Third generation

    Phantasy Star III, Characters.png
    		 Sean (Shiin Le Cille)
    Sean is the son of Ayn and Thea. After their home, satellite Dahlia was destroyed by the other Satellite Alisa III and both of his parents are killed, Sean escapes to the planet surface to avenge his parents.

    Being a three-quarter Layan Sean can use Heal, Melee and Time techniques.

    Phantasy Star III, Characters.png
    		 Crys (Noin No Satera)
    Crys is the son of Ayn and Sari and Prince of the Landen-Satera Kindgom. After a huge earthquake hits the kingdom, her parents send him to find out what happened.

    He can use Time class techniques.

    Phantasy Star III, Characters.png
    		 Adan (Fuin Sa Riik)
    Prince of Landen-Satera Kingdom, Adan is the son of Nial and Laya and twin brother of Gwyn. After her sister is plagued by nightmares, he is tasked by his parents to team with her and find out what is causing these dreams.

    Adan is half Layan and as such can use Heal techniques.

    Phantasy Star III, Characters.png
    		 Gwyn (ライア・サ・リーク)
    Princess of Landen-Satera Kingdom, Gwyn is the daughter of Nial and Laya and twin sister of Adan. After recurring nightmares of a catastrophe falling upon the world, she joins her older brother to find out what is threatining the planet.

    Gwyn can use Heal and Order based techniques.

    Phantasy Star III, Characters.png
    		 Aron (Ruin Sa Riik)
    Aron is the son of Nial and Alair and Prince of the Landen-Satera Kindgom. While living on the satellite Alisa III, his parents notice a satellite just like the one they are living in, only to see it blow up. Aron is tasked to find out what happened.
    Phantasy Star III, Characters.png
    		 Kara (ルナ・ケイ・エシル) (Princess)
    Kara is the daughter of Lune and niece of Alair. If Nial married Alair, she joins during the beginning of Aron's scenario and can also be recruited by Adan in his own scenario. This version of Kara has a ladylike attitude and can use Heal and Order class techniques while having low physical stats.
    Phantasy Star III, Characters.png
    		 Kara (ルナ・ケイ・エシル) (Warrior)
    This is the other Kara from Sean and Crys' scenario. In this timeline Kara's kingdom was destroyed and as a result she is a much more aggressive and beligerent person. Disgusted by her father's weakness, she joins with either Sean or Crys.

    This version of Kara can only use Melee class techniques but has much better physical stats. Originally she was supposed to be defeated just like Sari but appearently this was later dropped. Her enemy sprite can be found on game's files.

    Technique redistribution

    The game has a unique technique system in which techniques are divided into four categories (Melee, Heal, Order, and Time) containing four techniques apiece. Characters can be knowledgeable in up to three categories of techniques and immediately have access to all of the techniques for those categories. The player can visit a Technique Shop in a town to redistribute the power of those techniques; the player chooses a character and a category, and the four techniques for that category appear as a square surrounding a cursor. Moving the cursor increases the priority for a particular technique, reducing its TP cost and increasing its efficacy, at the cost of weakening another technique.

    Melee

    • Foi: Fire damage. Affects single enemy but quite powerful.
    • Gra: Gravity damage. Affects all targets but weaker than other techniques.
    • Tsu: Water damage. Can affect enemies on the either left or right side of screen.
    • Zan: Wind damage. Affects either upper or lower row of enemies.

    Heal

    • Anti: Removes poison status. Affects single ally. May not always work.
    • Res: Recovers health. Affects single ally.
    • GiRes: Recovers health of all team members.
    • Rever: Recovers from zero HP.

    Order

    • Fanbi: Raises attack power of selected ally.
    • Forsa: Kills targeted enemy. Rarely works, never against bosses.
    • NaSak: Kills user but heals every other party member.
    • Shu: Raises defense of selected ally.

    Time

    • Deban: Prevents single enemy from attacking. Rarely works.
    • Ner: Increases speed of one ally.
    • Rimit: Increases chances to escape from battle.
    • Shiza: Prevents single enemy from using techniques.

    History

    Development

    The game was developed by a different team from Phantasy Star and Phantasy Star II since many members of the original team were working on the Mega Drive port of Sorcerian. As such, it features a drastically different art style from the other games in the series.

    The game features a branching narrative with multiple gameplay paths set it apart from other role-playing games due to the crowded market at the time. Because of data storage limitations and time constraints, the final segments of the game vary relatively little and the game's dialogue and the detail of its environments are minimal.

    Legacy

    The game has been re-released on numerous compilations. It was included in Sega Ages Phantasy Star Collection for the Sega Saturn in 1998, which adds the ability to increase the walking speed of the characters. It was released on Phantasy Star Collection for the Game Boy Advance in 2002, which rearranges the menus to fit the Game Boy Advance's screen. It was included in Sega Mega Drive Collection for the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable in 2006. It was included in Sega Mega Drive Ultimate Collection for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in 2008, which includes an unlockable interview with producer Kazunari Tsukamoto. It was released for the Wii's Virtual Console in 2008. It was released for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Steam as part of the Sega Mega Drive Classics collection in 2018.
