Well I haven't found any evidence to contradict the GBA carts having no regional settings and other people around the internet have noted that they're region-free so you should be able to play GBA games from a any region on your DS. Of course there is a small chance I could be wrong about this.

The DS is completely region-free, as was the GBA... this includes its games. However, there was no Final Fantasy III on the GBA.

there is no problem, I have a friend has a few Japanese games.

whit final fantasy 3 did you mean the USA final fantasy 3 for snes? because that game is final fantasy 6 in every other version of the game(even further USA versions)

well then I have to say that the European version is exactly the same as the USA version, it's not like in games like final fantasy x or devil may cry that have horrible European versions, they don't have the restriction because the machine is exactly the same. and the European version has been translated to French,German,Spanish and Italian(I'm not 100% sure of Italian). well if you want the English version and you are in the USA or can get this game for a lower price go on ahead.

Also the European games have bigger transparent boxes, instead of the black ones...

No need to be condescending... he already clarified what he meant, plus I played the game you're talking about on the SNES, and you know what?

It's Final Fantasy VI. Final Fantasy III is on Famicom and DS. FFVI was just called FFIII on the SNES.
