Phantasy Star III English Retranslation
ファンタシースターIII 時の継承者 · Phantasy Star III: Toki no Keishousha
A complete retranslation of Phantasy Star III from the Japanese script, with bug fixes and improvements over the stiff 1991 English release.
What it is
This patch replaces the official English text of Phantasy Star III with a fresh translation of the Japanese script, translated by Rebecca Capowski and released by Peaches, and adds bug fixes and improvements along the way. Version 1.2 is the current release.
Optional extras
The retranslation is often paired with two small improvement hacks by other authors: lory1990's restoration of the parallax scrolling in battles from the Japanese version, and Emptyeye's faster walking speed.
FlamePurge also released addenda that sit on top of the same build: one with script corrections and better item, equipment and enemy names; a Classic Names version that restores the Generations of Doom subtitle and the international character names, with techniques named as in the rest of the series; and a Veteran Edition that also brings back the official release's item, technique and enemy names and font.
