User Rating: 8.5 | Final Fantasy III DS
In all honesty, Final Fantasy 3 is in almost all aspects, a great game. Let's start with the bad: The game can get a little tedious with constant leveling up especially when there is a dungeon you can't beat. Speaking of dungeons leads us to another problem, however. You can only save in the open world, but any town or dungeon you enter you can only quick save. This tends to lead to loads to backtracking if you happen to die. The only other thing is that the there are only two battle tracks, one for normal battles and one for boss battles. This is usual in most rpg's but it tends to get WAY repetitive. Other than those flaws, Final Fantasy 3 has beautiful graphics for the the DS and some nice magic effects and other eye candy during battles and cut-scenes. Seeing the different weapons you equip in battle also scores bonus points with me. There is plenty to do with the job system and some bonus dungeons to boot. Battles are fun and strategic and you can use the stylus to move about and move through the battle menus. Out of battles, there are great sound tracks especially in the final dungeon. All this and a nice, not-to-cliche story to tie it all up. FF3 will score high on RPG fans lists and is still a enjoyable experience for new players. The game might not do to much new but it is a remade, modernized version of a FF game that works with a great formula. Anybody looking for a good turn-based RPG for their DS should look no further.
