I will concur that in MS it is worth it.

too bad Cosmic Fantasy 3 was never localised. This picture is from Cosmic Fantasy 2 in one of the later towns (future bit).

After playing through at least half of it, I'm not sure how popular Cosmic Fantasy 3 would have been. I think that it's a bigger shame that we never got Cosmic Fantasy 4, ideally with both Chapters together as a 2-disc set.

Is Cosmic Fantasy 3 mechanically very similar to 2? As in broken?

Not that I remember, but it's very different. There isn't as much of an overworld map, you walk around like an adventure game. Enemies are super over the top cartoons and the characters don't seem very memorable. The battles have black backgrounds and huge character portaits. The map bgs still make heavy use of that pointillism style. CF4 has top quality 16-bit visuals though.

I like CF3.  But I wouldn't go out of my way to play it any time soon.

It's cute though.   I like all the CF games.
