Legend of Heroes III: Song of the Ocean

Just enough fantasy to put real life on hold

Legend of Heroes III never quite separates itself from previous entries in the series, and traditional though it may be, this isn't Final Fantasy. The world, while beautiful, isn't any different then the past two games. And the music, although it very badly wants to be important, won't be anything you find yourself humming after putting down the PSP to practice sword techniques. LoH III wants to be a great game but can't quite get the details right. The dialogue is goofy, combat isn't snazzy and it's a slow starter. Faults aside, if really want to play an RPG, and absolutely have to use your PSP, LoH III doesn't do anything unforgivable either.
