The purpose of this hack is to mitigate many of the flaws of Phantasy Star III in order to create an overall play experience more similar to that of Phantasy Star II and Phantasy Star IV. This attempt is made through minor adjustments to the presentation, using the naming conventions from the other games, increasing the number of lore references to the other games, and more. Please see the readme for more complete details.

The script was also significantly expanded in order to fill some holes in the story, address gaps in logic that otherwise go unexplained, and add more flavor by way of new non-player characters.

We’re currently on version 1.1, the second release of this hack. 1.1 corrects a few typos and also changes some enemy and item names to be more consistent with my Phantasy Star II and IV hacks. Otherwise, it’s unchanged from 1.0.

Thank you to everyone who tries this hack! Despite how it may sound, this patch is very much intended as a love letter to a favorite game.

Please note, the patched ROM will need to have its checksum corrected before it will play. The suggested fix for this is to use FixChecksum.exe.
