 When will we get a true port of FF III?! February 13, 2008
1 out of 41 found this review helpful
I felt I needed to rate this game due to poor porting.
-->First mistake, porting the only Final Fantasy game that was never released here in the states on a handheld instead of a main console.
-->Second mistake, completely overhauling everything. Simply up the graphics to SNES standards. It's originally a NES game. It's not truly a classic port if things are changed to much. No need for 3D grpahics or extra quests and dungeons if the original didn't have them.
-->Thirdly, Final Fantasy I & II, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, and XII were all released on the playstation. Why wasn't Final Fantasy III?
All in all, I'm glad I didn't waste my money on this one. If they would just properly port it to the PS or Nintendo Wii without changing anything except maybe bringing the 2D graphics to SNES quality. Or simply use 256 colors instead of 16.
Special Note: I would actually like to see them port Final Fantasy I thru Final Fantasy VI and Final Fantasy Mystic Quest onto the Nintendo Wii :)
Great Remake of a classic Final Fantasy RPG February 8, 2008

Pros- Great graphics, and great new feature of using the stylus for playing and going through your menus. I've had it for several weeks and it has been fun. I enjoy it alot. Battles are pretty quick and easy to control with the DS stylus feature.
Cons- Leveling up is a bit slow and can get boring and tedious. Story line can leave you not completely sure where to go next.
Overall I think it is a must have for any FF RPG fan.
The missing link February 6, 2008

It's finally here! The final fantasy game everyone thought they had played is here for the first time since its first appearance in Japan. Many final fantasy gamers will instantly think of the characters Terra and Kefka. This is the real FF III never released in the us Terra and Kefka are from FF VI. FF III introduces the job system which lets you change your characters costume and abilities. Some of the most recognizable ones are Black mage, white mage,
thief, and warrior. It also allows you to chat with freinds via WIFI using mognet. Moogles of course run mognet and you can send "e-mails" to other FF III players as well as npcs ( non player controlled characters ). Over all this game is worth the money and time you put into it but if you get frustrated with the puzzles don't give up to easily just keep working at it. :0 : ) =D
Final Fantasy takes a spin on the DS February 3, 2008

Ok, so if you are any kind of an RPG fan you've played Final Fantasy at some point. And up until now, you had no options on the DS unless you picked up the ones for the Game Boy Advance.
Square Enix decided to bring FFIII (you may know this from the SNES but that is called FFVI here in the US), which was never released on any system previously, as the first DS entry. So how does it fair? Let's take a look:
Presentation: 8/10
The game is fairly straightforward but can get downright frustrating at times (forget to talk to 1 person, your forward progress will be stopped in its tracks). The menus are user friendly and the additional perks you can use through multiple DS's via the mail system definitely helps this game's cause.
Graphics: 8/10
Make no mistake, this game looks great on the DS, probably one of the best ones. The cinema's are quite amazing for a small system. Lots of detail in the towns and dungeons. Especially creepy (at first) is when you cross into the dark world with your airship the first time. Square (as with most FF's) has done a great job with the look of the game.
Sound: 8.5/10
Not as great a score as came with, say, FFVII, but when I have tunes from the game stuck in my head it means either I played it too much or they were really good. Keep in mind the DS speakers don't do any sound justice so if you have a great pair of headphones that will definitely help the experience out.
Gameplay: 9.5/10
Now this is where this game kicks some serious butt. The Job system in FFIII is awesome. Want 4 black mages? You got it. 4 warriors? Ditto. You get the selection of the original FF but the ability to have several different jobs leveled up on the 4 main characters. This adds pretty much an endless amount of ways to complete the main quest.
Now, why doesn't this get a 10 out of 10? Well let's put it this way: If you are used to be coddled in other FF's (FF II for the SNES comes to mind) you are going to be in for a shock in this one. Go off on your own early on (even later on) and prepare for a quick Game Over. I saw more game overs in the first 2 hours I played this FF as I did in all of FFVII and FFIX put together. To put it mildly: You better level up or get smoked. Often.
Replay Value: 6/10 (9/10 if your friends have game/DS)
Hardcore FF's and RPG'ers will want to try many different job combinations and Low Level games to see how many different ways you can win. But for most 1 time through will be enough. The mail system will allow you to open weapons, spells, etc. that are not available to a single player/game and offers a better incentive then most games like this.
Overall: 8.5/10
This is definitely one of the best RPG's you have for the DS. Rumor has it that they are doing at FFVI remake (FFIII for you SNES types) that will be on the DS. If that is the case you might just see that become the best one as it is rumored to have extras on it not available with the GBA or the SNES.
If you are FF fan, this is a must play. If you are an RPG fan, check it out. But be prepared to be taken to school if you think you are going to just rush through this one. Old school to be sure!

This is Final Fantasy III, the sequel to Final Fantasy II in Japan. It is not Final Fantasy III as released on the Super Nintendo in the US.
I found the story line engaging, but the job system was a bit frustrating. At times level grinding is necessary. Overall, a good addition to the library of DS RPGs.
