Phantasy Star III Soundtrack Re-orchestration! This was a BIG labor of love. Original soundtrack was played via the Sega Genesis sounds… a lot to be desired, but still capturing my childhood imagination. Years later, many of the songs still sing in my heart, so I decided to honor them by re-orchestrating the ENTIRE SOUNDTRACK!
Anyone who loves this game series and RPG music should enjoy this as well. Please do. https://walzmusic.bandcamp.com/album/phantasy-star-iii-complete-soundtrack-reorchestration
