OId-school through and through

User Rating: 8.5 | Final Fantasy III DS
By SeanFM | Review Date:
All in all, this is a great RPG for the DS. True, you hardly use the touchscreen or even both screens at the same time, but this is an old-school rpg through and through (which is good, in my opinion). It doesnt get too repetitive considering the variety of jobs, and I love the constant change of scenery. You really get a grand sense of adventure from this game, and the best part is you can take it all on-the-go in your backpack or pocket. Definitely worth the purchase if you are into RPG's.

It poses a good challenge during boss fights and so forth, which can get frustrating considering the job system from time to time. I had to look online to get a better understanding of the stats behind my characters and the pros and cons of each job. You may feel like your party is weak--and may not completely understand why--and the manual doesnt completely cover all the facts about classes which you need to know to get through the tougher spots.

So, given the games occasional frustrations (which arent big in fact), it still holds up as one of my favorite DS games, and if not, one of the most enjoyable RPG's of all time.
