Dahlia Project
A downloadable game
The original Phantasy Star III: Generations of Doom was a uniquely different entry in the classic sci-fi RPG series when compared to its counterparts.
Its story was a cross-generational epic in an expansive world filled with large cast of characters. However, its presentation and gameplay set it apart from the rest of the games in the Phantasy Star series, earning it a reputation as a black sheep.
The Dahlia Project is a full-scale remake of Phantasy Star III, reimagining the game with modern refinements while staying true to its original vision. The goal is to enhance the storytelling and character interactions, refine the gameplay and provide a complete graphical overhaul to provide an aesthetic that is closer the other games in the series.
This is not a reinvention—it’s a true remake, designed to ensure Phantasy Star III stands proudly in its place amongst the other games in the series.
What’s to Expect from the Dahlia Project?
- Expanded Story & Lore with Revamped Dialogue and character interactions.
- Phantasy Star 4 Style Cut Scenes.
- Enhanced Gameplay & Mechanics in line with other entries in the series.
- Authentic Retro Visual & Audio Aesthetic in line with other entries in the series.

Hey!
We realized that we had misunderstood your question and mistakenly thought it was about another project (https://danmartin257.itch.io/phantasy-star-iii-generations-of-doom-rmmz), so the response was incorrect. To avoid confusion, we removed the comment but deleted the whole thing by mistake.
In response to your original question we aren't anywhere near finished with Dahlia Project.
I regularly post updates in the fan works channel here -> https://discord.gg/tBVCMRt9
Planning to drop some short Devlogs soon also.
Thanks for following up! Genuinely appreciate your interest!
Very Cool looking Remake, if you had to give an estimated time when it will release what would the time be? ("Example: Around July 2026 - May 2027.")
Thank you so much!
Unfortunately - at this stage - i cannot even estimate a release date. We are still very much in the early stages of the project and we have been working for nearly 12 months. (With breaks due to IRL things)
All of our work on this project; we fit in around our personal lives and so its difficult predict our future output. In addition to this, we are learning as we go and that mean sometimes - sadly - we spend a lot of hours and make little progress.
That said, we are progressing and were very proud of what we have so far.
Thank You for replying to my question.
This looks very nice indeed.
I always thought storywise PSIII was ahead of it's time but unfortunately it wasn't fleshed out to it's true potential. Now, imagine some people come along and give it a PSIV style lick of paint and iron out gameplay issues such as poor pacing and vague direction.
I'm all for this!
Thanks for your comment :D
Yes this is how we feel about the original as well - i am glad to see others share our feelings on PSIII. The original is a classic but there is so much untapped potential in the story and cast.
I hope that you continue to follow our project :)
Yeah I'm proper excited, if the screenshots are anything to go by it's going to be a treat to play.
I'll watch with interest. Good luck with the project and I wish you a smooth and easy development process.
This is great.. I think i may have been the only fan of ps3 back in the 90's . Can't wait to try this
Thank you! PS3 has a bad reputation but we feel that there is potential to deliver something special for the fans and newcomers alike.
Oh man I can't wait! Gives me some motivation to march ahead with the very early project I started. Something currently codenamed Restoration's End :-)
Thank you for the kind words :) We hope to have more to show soon.
