What The Legend of Heroes III: Song of the Ocean is

The Legend of Heroes III: Song of the Ocean is an adventure game developed by MiCROViSion and released in 2006. It was published by Namco Bandai Games. It is available on PlayStation Portable and PC (Microsoft Windows).

The premise, in the publisher's words

A remake of The Legend of Heroes V: Umi no Oriuta, later localized for North America in 2007 under the title, "The Legend of Heroes III: Song of the Ocean." The trilogies titles have been changed in North America to match a mistake in the title of previously released games. Because of this the trilogies order was mixed up. This takes place in Weltluna, the third realm in Gagharv, seven years after "A Tear of Vermillion" and forty-nine years before "Moonlight Witch". It centers around Forte, Una and McBain and their quest in seeking Leone's Resonance Stones.
