[[OnceUponATime A thousand years ago]], the brave warrior Orakio and the terrible witch Laya and their factions did terrible battle. Eventually, an uneasy truce was reached -- but both leaders, Orakio and Laya, disappeared, together, in a terrible final conflict. Before they did, both of them meted out one final law: [[ThouShaltNotKill "Kill no living thing."]]
The story opens with Rhys, crown prince of Landen, a kingdom which follows the practices and teachings of Orakio, set to marry Maia, the woman [[LoveAtFirstSight he fell madly in love with ever since he saw her]] washed up on the shore, with no memory of who she was or where she came from. At the very moment they are to be wed, however, [[DragonsPreferPrincesses a dragon appears, and kidnaps Maia]]. Because the dragon identified itself as a Layan, Rhys, enraged, vows vengeance on all Layans for making off with his beloved and ruining his life. But what he doesn't know is that this will set off a chain of events that will change his life -- and his own peoples' perceptions of themselves -- forever...
[[FakeOutOpening The game seems to be a radical departure]] from the first two ''VideoGame/PhantasyStar'' games at first; it doesn't even take place in the Algol system (although for good reason). It starts off as a classic MedievalEuropeanFantasy, but the appearances of androids and obviously high-tech "caves" quickly clue the player in that things are not as they seem.
The game features a unique twist: at the end of Rhys' adventure, he is given a choice of [[LoveTriangle two girls to marry]], because one of the women he picked up on the way turns out to be in love with him. Depending on his choice, the game ''continues'' through the eyes of the resulting child. This child's own story will then play out, again with a choice of whom to marry. This final child will play out the final act of the story. [[TitleDrop Hence the subtitle of the game]].
Generally, this game is considered the weakest of the original tetralogy, largely because its ambitious design somewhat outstripped the capabilities of the hardware and development style of its day: for a comparison, ''Videogame/DragonQuestIV'' would attempt something somewhat similar the same year, but only truly shone to its complete potential when it was ported to future consoles. As it was, the extreme shift in location, tone, style, and from the previous two ''Phantasy Star'' games (which, among other things, left the ending of the second game unaddressed) caused an uproar when it was released, and remains an enormously controversial title from the 16-bit era to this very day.

Generally, this game is considered the weakest of the original tetralogy, largely because its ambitious design somewhat outstripped the capabilities of the hardware and development style of its day; today, with modern storage, larger development teams & management and a good long dev cycle, a multi-generational epic is possible (in fact, ''VideoGame/AgarestSenki'' is precisely that), but in 1990, with a small team who had a year to work on the game and on a cart with a data weight of less than a megabyte, doing the concept justice proved... difficult. The location shift from the previous two games (which, among other things, left the ending of ''[=PSII=]'' unaddressed) also caused a large deal of discontent. While still remembered as being one of the most ambitious titles of the 16-bit era (and one of the only to attempt a generational shift), ultimately its sibling titles are remembered more fondly.
