Story: The story of Final Fantasy III is about a set of young people who are all orphans, they all band together with the spirit of the crystals and lay waste to the evils. However after finding out that the world they know is only a small fragment of the real world they embark on a quest to truly save the world which is now shrowded in darkness. They will meet unique individuals, but the story will boil down to a power struggle between sorcerers. When a powerful mage was on his death bed he gave powers to his disciples, one was granted eternal lordship over dreams, immense power, and the other was stripped of his immortality. Of course the one stripped of his immortality was very unhappy, and did not see his gift as his master had. Gameplay: Gameplay is very good. The battle system is superb, and enemies have a variety of attacks. You can use the Stylus to move and chose battle commands with; but better is the fact that you can use the menu with it. However I thought that the Stylus could not keep up with me if I wanted to issues commands really fast. The difficulty in this game is hard, very hard. Infact it is the hardest game I've ever played on the DS. Some bosses are extremely hard and require a few hours of leveling up which is tedious in this game-and also sometimes equally hard. The really hard bosses are nice, and I love to see difficulty in my games however they really push the limits in this game. At times I really wanted to throw my DS against the wall because some thing was so vastly supperior to me, however I stuck it out. There is only one major boss which you REALLY have to gain like 10 levels to even face, and that's the last one. I don't mind leveling up as long as it's not tedious, however it is in this game. Graphics: For a DS game this game is pretty advanced in the graphics department. There are only a few spots which need a little touch ups, there aren't any graphical glitches I'm aware of. All of the attacks are very distinguishable, and you flow into random battles very smoothly. This is one of the best graphically look games out there on the DS. Sound: The soundtrack in this game is somewhat lacking at times. It is truly not one of the better sound tracks. At times you hear the same music over and over until you want to rip your hair out. There are only a few tracks which really stand out and barely manage to awe you. One of these is Doga's mansion theme, and the Dark World theme. I would plug in some headphones into the radio and crank it up while playing this game. Replay Value: There is no replayablity about this game, due to the fact that end game only a few jobs are really distinguishable, and jobs become horribly underpowered to other jobs. I wouldn't recomend using any of the jobs aside from the basic ones, because while they may seem cool, and flashy they are pretty powerless nontheless. I've only beaten this once, and that's all I'm going to for a LONG time. Final Note: I would recomend borrowing this game from a friend, I wouldn't buy it unless it was in the discount bin. This is a nice classic redone, and polished, I don't blame the remake for it's difficulty or issues. I'll not resale this game because eventually I'll replay it.
Finally that gap we all had in our collection is filled, we’ve waited a long time for this game, and even better is that it’s been remade into an up-to-date 3D version for the DS. The games opening sequence is majestical... Read Full Review
if any of you remembered playing the original Final Fantasy III (not Final Fantasy III which is supposed to be VI for SNES) for the NES, then this is the remake of that game. The game was redisigned with DS graphics, an... Read Full Review
