Many consider Phantasy Star III for the Sega Genesis to be the "black sheep" of the series. Personally, I'm a fan of the game but also acknowledge that it's not perfect. If you're one who thinks they can improve upon Phantasy Star III then here's your chance to finally prove it..

Aridia is a rom editor for Phantasy Star III. It has a mostly-friendly interface that makes editing incredibly easy. No messing with hex editors, decoding values, or any of that. If you can click and type then you can hack away to your heart's contentment.

Aridia will be developed in a series of small releases, see the project roadmap for the schedule. Aridia is also free and open source; code contributions will always be welcome if there's a feature you'd like to add.
