Let's get one thing straight: Final Fantasy 3DS isn't for everyone. It's not even going to please a lot of Final Fantasy fans used to the story-driven gameplay of FF7 onwards. FF3 is plain and simple old-school RPG action freshly ported to the DS. And for those who like the traditional turn-based style of combat and leveling up, this game is pure heaven. I consider FF3 to be the best RPG available for the DS (though it doesn't yet have much competition).
The backstory should be pretty familiar to you by now: Final Fantasy 3 is the only FF title that hadn't yet seen release in North America. Along with FF2 and FF5 it was not originally released outside of Japan, but unlike those other titles which were later ported on both the Game Boy Advance and PS1, FF3 had been sadly forgotten. While the game isn't exactly revolutionary, particularly to longtime fans that have experienced the greatness of FF4 and FF6 on the SNES, it is an icnredibly enjoyable romp through a large and interesting world.
The graphical overhaul of the game cannot be downplayed. Instead of the original 8 bit graphics and pixelated sprites, we now get beautiful 3d character models and gorgeous backgrounds. The graphics are pretty much the equal of any PS1 Final Fantasy, though there is an irritating shortage of FMV cutscenes.
The gameplay itself is also highly rewarding, showcasing the first use in any Final Fantasy of the job system. Each of your four characters starts out roughly the same as a Freelancer. Over the course of the game, you gain access to 23 different jobs for each character, allowing you to mold them into any role you see fit. The complexity of this job system, while nowhere near as deep as later FF inventions like materia and the sphere grid, is a refreshing addition to an otherwise linear and straightforward game.
A lot has been made about the difficulty of FF3, but I think that it has been greatly exaggerated. Throughout the game you will be pummeled with constant random battles and ridiculously strong bosses. But as long as you take the time to level up your characters and don't rush through from dungeon to dungeon, you should be fine. The game also gives clear hints when you need to use a certain job class to advance through a particular dungeon. Gamers unacquainted with the somewhat monotonous practice of "grinding" and continually leveling up may be turned off by FF3's battle system. But the game deserves a lot of credit for trying to make things fresh with intricate spell animations and a huge variety of monsters to battle.
All in all, Final Fantasy 3 is an amazing overahaul of a forgotten classic, and is a must-own for any die-hard RPG fan. And unlike the hotly-anticipated remake of FF4 for the DS, FF3 is not available to play in any other form unless you have the original Japan-only Famicom cartridge. Enjoy!

I'm not giving this game a single star because I don't think the game is no good. In fact, I understand that this is a great game by people who would know. However, I didn't understand what an RPG was (role playing game) when I bought it. What that seems to mean is that you have to tell your character what to do in any situation, ie, fight, run, etc. Personally I find this tedious, (I'm 47 and pretty new to this stuff). I understand that it's an "old school" technique that is really popular. If you don't know what RPG really means, ask a teenager. After they finish formatting your computer and showing you how your Wii works that is. lol
 A remake of an old game - and it shows November 30, 2007

Final Fantasy III is a good game, visually and audibly. It comes close to rivaling the graphical power of a game for the PS1. Almost, that is. Perhaps the next-gen handheld will look as good as the PS1.
Gameplay-wise, this shows it's age. It's from an era when adventure game=wandering around for hours, leveling up your charachters with random encounters, and dying if you dared stray off the storyline path. Everything is turn based, and sometimes there isn't any real clear direction to go. Just...do this, but you die when you get there because you didn't spend hours wandering around, etc, etc.
Overall, a decent game, but there are better ones out there. Pick this one up used if you want it.
