Development Notes
A well-known trick can be found at the start of the game. Before meeting Maia and setting the wedding sequence in motion, if the player acquires and uses an Escapipe while Rhys is locked in the dungeon, all will be as it was before the kidnapping. However, the story will not advance and the player cannot leave the town. The King will say "You used your Escapipe! Normally a smart move, but now I'm afraid the game can't be continued. Please press the reset button and try again." Since the player starts out with no meseta, Rhys' boots have to be sold in order to buy the Escapipe.
The Japanese Mega Drive version of Phantasy Star III contains parallax scrolling in all battle backgrounds. This was removed in the Genesis and PAL versions of the game.

Famous quotes containing the words development and/or notes:
“The experience of a sense of guilt for wrong-doing is necessary for the development of self-control. The guilt feelings will later serve as a warning signal which the child can produce himself when an impulse to repeat the naughty act comes over him. When the child can produce his on warning signals, independent of the actual presence of the adult, he is on the way to developing a conscience.”
—Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
“My notes have a curious tendency, as I realize at last, to annihilate all they purport to record.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
