I'll be honest with you, this game needs a port badly. It appears in no other forms outside of the PS2 and it is an absolutely legendary RPG. It pushed the PS2 to its absolute limits, had a completely never before OR after seen crafting system, had extremely impactful depth, and all of this in an ACTION Rpg. It doesn't deserve the rub it's gotten.
This was the second action JRPG I played back in 2003. My mom randomly surprised me with this game on my 13th birthday. I had never heard of the series before but she knew I was into anime and had recently played through Kingdom Hearts the previous year. I have so many memories staying up all night during the summer to play and having to sneak/pretend that I slept the night before when my parent woke up to go to work. This game meant a lot to me when I was younger and unfortunately, I lost it after my house was broken into. I never owned another copy and finding a hard copy for a reasonable price feels impossible. I would love to actually own this game via GOG. So I'd appreciate it if this game were to be added to this library. I think it's an outstanding JRP that deserves to be preserved.
One of the best JRPGs of all time that is locked to a platform with a curator that does not care about the genre at all as they are too focused on "western" games.
This game slaps all the right ways
Truly one of my favorite games of all time - a friend gave it to me in high school on a whim, and I became so enraptured that I'm still hauling out my old PS2 almost 20 years later to play it again! I'd never played a SO game before, but the story and mechanics in this one blend so beautifully, and the narrative heel turn it takes still charms me. I've even still got my old Bradley guide (held together by duct tape), SO3 is really one of the absolute best!
In my opinion the peak of the series. Entries after all have flaws, overcomplicated combat, terrible AI, or just downright malfunctional. But TTEOT exemplifies the JRPG genre in the best ways. Fun, yet challenging combat that had no problem punishing you if you weren't prepared. A crafting minigame that WASN'T a slog, a compelling story that kept me on the edge of my seat and well rounded, interesting characters that were written well enough to make me care for them. The PS2 holds some of the greatest RPGs in history, and this game definitely deserves to be preserved along with them.
one of the first star ocean games i beat. i got this game back in the day on day one release. since its been made available on ps4/5 i have played and beat it a few more times. i would love for this to be available on pc
I will GLADLY tell my story. It was legit the first Action JRPG I played and it opened the door for me to try other star ocean, tales series, final fantasy, legend of dragoon, and many other titles. As it stands, I can only play this on the ps2, and ps4/5. Ps2 has av connectors that dont play well with lcd and oleds and the ps4 version keeps freezing. This is my last hope (pun).
I would love to see this game ported here. It was the first JRPG I ever played, and it inspired me to play more JRPGs. This game needs a port because it is only on the PS2. So a port would be great PLZ GOG.
I remember this game when I was in middleschool. Such memorable music, sound effects, story, characters and so on. I will never forget getting to the final boss and beating the game to find out there are WAY TOUGHER BOSSES post main game. This game has its flaws, but its one of the only games where the flaws cant keep me from returning to play the game.
If you too like this game as much as I do, please share this in any jrpg/ star ocean community so that we may one day see this game finally ported to PC. Do keep in mind even though its on PS4/PS5 as downloadble game, there is no garuantee we will have access to it on future PS consoles.
Show your support by sharing the link to this page to have others vote for this game to be ported by GOG to PC!!! I appreciate everyone who vores/ shares the link.

Gauntlet III: The Final QuestGauntlet III is an action-based dungeon exploration game. Like in the predecessors you empty areas infested by all kinds of enemies while running for the exit. Like this was rather a straight forward thing in the first two games, it's not that easy to finish a level anymore. While you only had to run until you find the exit (and besides killing hordes of enemies you probably find some keys to unlock doors leading to deeper dungeons) you might have to solve a few "quests" to proceed to the next level in this installment. These "quests" are very basic, for example you have to find object A, then bring it to B, advance to C and finally go to D to uncover the exit.
While the first two games had a top-down view, Gauntlet 3 has an isometric perspective. The old four characters (warrior, wizard, elf and valkyrie) are ready for action again and this time they get backup by four new characters which include the Lizard, Neptune, Stoneman and the Iceman.Action Fantasy

Gauntlet LegendsGauntlet Legends is an arcade game released in 1998 by Atari Games. It is a fantasy themed hack and slash styled dungeon crawl game, a sequel to 1985's popular Gauntlet and 1986's Gauntlet II and marks the final game in the series to be produced by Atari Games. Its unusual features for an arcade game included passwords and characters that could be saved, enabling players to play over the course of a long period.Action Fantasy

Gauntlet IIThe gameplay is very similar to the original Gauntlet, a topdown dungeon crawl supporting up to four players. The biggest difference from the original game is that players can choose identical classes, instead of being limited to a particular one for each joystick; each player is differentiated by color. Thus, instead of having a "warrior", "wizard", and "valkyrie" (for instance), in Gauntlet II there could be a "red wizard", a "blue elf" and a "green warrior".
In addition to the new "class" system, new level designs were added, including the possibility of encountering them in altered ways by having the play-field turned in steps of 90°. Other new features included the enemy "It", which upon contact would make a player "It" and draw all enemies towards him/her. The only way to release this curse is by touching another player or entering the exit, turning any level containing "It" into a fantasy filled game of tag. Other notable additions include the ability to ricochet shots off walls by means of a special pick-up, acid puddles that caused large, predetermined amounts of damage and a large dragon which would occupy multiple squares and require multiple hits to destroy.
New level elements were also added, adding more variety to the original game. These included "all walls are invisible", "magic walls" which changed into monsters or items when hit, "stun tiles" which stunned the player, and fake exits.
Another challenge in the game is the possibility to find a "secret room". This can be found by completing specific achievements within the level (e.g., "don't be fooled", means that you must find the real exit first). The secret room contains items such as food and magic potions (extra shot power, extra shot speed, extra magic power, extra speed, extra armor and extra fight power).
This sequel was also the first to feature what is now known as the Gauntlet theme tune, which resembles a simplified Baroque fugue.Action Fantasy
