I just finished this, a few minutes ago. I did Rhys -> Ayn -> Sean. I'm considering doing the other routes pretty soon.
Overall I enjoyed it. I did PSI and II about four or five months ago. I think I like I > II > III. III was pretty enjoyable overall, but the crazy amount of back tracking combined with obtuse explanations of what to do next, and how crazy late you get the Wren upgrades makes it pretty exhausting. Like I said, I want to do the other paths, but the idea that I've gotta redo so much walking is a killer.
What do you guys think of it? I know it's most people's least favorite classic PS game, but I did enjoy it overall. Are any marriage options particularly interesting? Also, fuckinglast boss in a treasure chest?

On the Rhys -> Niall timeline you get the flying Wren parts during the 2nd generation.
Makes everything much easier, and avoids all of the overland walking that you mentioned.

You played through all of PSII? I'm trying to run the series, myself, but PSII is kicking me hard in the balls. Now THAT game is tedious.

I love PS3 as much as any of the other Phantasy Star games, despite its faults. When you started playing it, did you already knowthe "world" was a spaceshipand thatthe spaceship was launched from Palmaor did you find out / figure it out as you went along?

This is not the Wren I remember from my child-hood...

Definitely underrated now, though I remember having a visceral negative reaction and ripping the game out within 5 minutes of booting it up the first time.
It was like someone told me the meal I was eating was my missing dog. Game was like $90 too.
