This sure didn't fulfill my fantasy....

User Rating: 6.3 | Final Fantasy III DS
By LAZZOR | Review Date:
At long last Square Enix brings Final Fantasy III to those of us that don't reside in Japan. With it I have mixed feelings but let's go through the postives first. The graphics in thjs game are awesome even thought characters are kind of blocky. The enviroments are stunning for a DS RPG. Graphically this game does set the bar for future DS RPGs.

The sound design is wonderful from the music in the opening sequence to the in-game soundtrack. Everything you expect from a Final Fantasy game's audio is here including the now famous victory music. Now that the good stuff is out of the way here are my main problems with this game.

Combat is BORING. Now you're probably thinking to yourself that I've never played an RPG before. Wrong. I like RPGs esecially Golden Sun for the GBA but in Final Fantasy III combat seems tacked on. The stylus doesn't get much love and even with the inclusion of Job classes combat feels stale and considering this is a role-playing game, that is a very,very bad thing.

In terms of story, something about orphans. It's the standard RPG fair and you really won't care. Bottom line: Hardcore FF fans pick this up, everyone else leave it alone.
