Forgive me if I put this in the wrong forum, but it's relating to PSIII to some extent so I thought that it'd be fine here.
Now, there's a game being released in Japan later on this year called Record of Agarest, and it's being called
the new Phantasy Star III. It's being compared to it and everything, most notably for the generation system they're advertising. And like Phantasy Star III, I guess each generation they explore a new contintent, much like how in PSIII you explore new worlds every generation.
You can read more about this
here.
I will be keeping my eye on this, and I'm wondering what other ideas they're 'borrowing.' It does bother me, I'll admit. Mostly because I thought that PSIII was an awesome game, and well, I'm pretty passionate about it.

So seeing something like this immediately makes me think that it's just a rip of PSIII's pretty cool ideas. Sure, many games use ideas from others, but the fact that they're comparing it to PSIII and saying it's "formerly Phantasy Star III" really
really bothers me on so many levels. >_<
