A cute little RPG that belongs in your DS library,

Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Final Fantasy III (Video Game)
Final Fantasy 3 was the last of the untranslated chapters in the series to be localized for the western market. Originally released for the Famicom in 1990, it would take 16 years before Western gamers would get a chance to take up the quest.Final Fantasy 3's main claim to fame was its Job System, which allowed players to customize their party members with up to 23 different classes. A natural progression from the original's 6 classes with a hint of Dragon Quest 3's innovations, Final Fantasy 3 redefined all future entries in the series with jobs such as Summoners and Dragoons. One of the key differences between the original and the remake are the 4 heroes; nameless Onion Knights have been replaced by unique individuals, each with their own back story. Not only does this inject some character into the game, but battles are colorful even if all 4 characters share the same job class, since each character's style shines despite their uniform. And seeing your SD characters dress up in ridiculously cute outfits simply never gets old. The remake's most noticeable improvement lies unquestionably in its aesthetics. Besides the beautiful albeit heavily compressed intro movie, the graphics take advantage of the DS's 3D capabilities to create a much more dynamic world, and the remixed music sounds excellent. Perhaps Final Fantasy 3's traditional approach, where a little level building between areas is recommended, is a hard pill to swallow for players weened on modern game mechanics. If you've been a fan of the series from the start, Final Fantasy 3 will no doubt be an entertaining return to the series' roots and RPGs of old, bringing with it excellent production values rarely seen on the DS. PROS: Excellent production values Music sounds fantastic Old-school design brings back fond memories Good challenge CONS: Job System isn't as open as FF5 Some level grinding is required Lack of saves mid-dungeon can be annoying Not as challenging as the original

I'm honestly just getting into the Final Fantasy genre. I know, I know, I'm a bit behind, being in my twenties and never having played a FF game more than 10 minutes before.This game is really really beautiful to look at, and also an experience for the ears. Even for a noob like myself, it's pretty easy to play, though I admit I stumble at times. I really do recommend it to anyone. Even if you've never played an FF game before. It's worth the money, even if just for the visual and audio experiences. :)

Having played Final Fantasy from its early days on the NES all the way to it's evolution to the PC and on, I can say that I am thoroughly enjoying this incarnation.If you played the early versions on the NES and SNES, this will bring back fond memories of adventuring into a mysterious world filled with monsters and friends alike. The graphics, music and play style are like those of the early FF but if you are into nostalgia, then this is the game for you.
