A non-lazy FM Towns port, as it doesn’t have dithering of the original PC98 version.

Last post for the Ys3 retrospective. This is Falcom’s remake of Ys3 for Windows PC, and ported to PSP a couple of years later. Not to be confused with the PS2 remaster by Taito the same year. The character designs are a bit more faithful, but everything else is redone with Falcom’s newer 3D engine.

TurboGrafx CD version of this scene had the distinction of being animated.

Honestly this version of Ys III loses some of the charm the original sprites had, looking more like generic anime fare.

Compare this against how western CRPGs did portraits. Ultima 6 which came a year later and considered one of the best graphics of its peers, had derpier faces than this.
