I think that this disc misses the high marks of the original. The music is phenomenal and really jams on a good stereo system. The gameplay, however, is extremely limited. There is little or no challenge here and the whole quest is too straightforward for an adventure game.

I may seem overly critical of Ys III, but only because it had much to live up to. While a fairly good game on it's own merits, it's a bit of a disappointment coming from such a proud pedigree. With the evolution of games on the established 16-bit systems, Ys III was hard pressed to compete with some of the emerging RPG franchises of the time. It succeeded in bringing more action elements where none had existed before, and that makes the game quite notable, but not enough to stand on a pedestal.
