Is it good should I get it? i heard it's repittitive and lack of save points is punishing.

Yes I've checked the reccomindation thread but it doesnt really get into detail. No offense Biospark its a great thread.

If you like any of the older FFs (1-6), this one should be just fine. As an added bonus, I've been seeingit lately at Gamestop stores for $20 new, so it's no a much better deal.

On a related note, in case you're just looking for some FF goodness on DS, FF12:RW will be on sale next week at Best Buy for $30

It's a great game and you should get it if you like Final Fantasy games or RPG's. As stated, you can buy it here in the US for $20 at Gamestop... New... I think Best Buy may be selling it for the same now.

If you can get it for a cheap price, then buy, but I have played it, and the story isn't so great and you backtrack a lot. The job system is good though.

The starting is very slow, you have to meet your 4 characters one by one, but after you get out of the stage where all of your characters are freelancers and you can choose your own class, then it gets interesting. Pretty fun game, worth the money.

I also want to add that it is worth the 20$ and if you are a fan of the series you will enjoy it. I am past the freelancer stage and it is much better now. I must admit I have been playing FF for at least 10 years if not longer so maybe I am a bit biased.

I really didn't like it at all, i bought it just to own to add to my FF collection. At first i bought it to play it, then after putting 70 grueling hours into it. The story line isn't to great, training job's suck, the character's personalitys aren't all to great.

It gets really annoying because once you level up your guys you have to go somewhere else, and then all of your guys you were confident with die with one shot......that makes me scream angrily.....then you have to go out and level your guys again,and again,and again..........:( Its still really fun, though!

I like it. Make sure you level up your crew a lot when you get later into the game because some monsters can kill you with 1 hit! Lack of saves make it hard too. For some reason though, I didn't get frustrated per se, I got to the point where I HAD to advance and I couldn't put the game down. The job system is cool and adds variety.

It is a great game if you like the old school FF Rpg's. The difficulty is amped up compared to any of the modern FF's. I beat it in 45 hours with maxed out job levels and my characters at level 60. The only annoyance is the final dungeon, which is very long with no save points.

The story is very generic and point to point, but what should we expect from a game that is from the 8-bit era? I don't remember Super Mario Bros. blowing me away with its' storyline.

It's definately a great game. The job classes are a great touch, and the RPG action is just superb. If you're looking for an old-sk00l RPG, that is definately the one to go with.

Its a great game, but its hard. Lack of save points just makes it harder. But its worth playing through if it doesn't crush your spirit with its hardness.

At this point in time, I think you'd be better off either getting Revenant Wings and/or waiting for FF4 DS. It will rock FF3 hard.
