DESCRIPTION

Final Fantasy III is the missing link in Square's critically acclaimed role-playing game series, the one title never localized for North American audiences. That is, until now. Nintendo DS owners will finally experience the game with new 3D graphics and a number of other enhancements. Originally released in 1990 on the Famicom, Japan's version of the NES, Final Fantasy III features updated characters and abilities, a revamped storyline, and a touch-screen interface that makes the game playable solely using the stylus.

Gameplay involves exploring the world from an overhead perspective with areas such as towns and dungeons presented in a closer, more detailed view. Battles adopt a turn-based system with characters able to switch rows to enhance attacks or minimize damage. Final Fantasy III is notable for introducing the job system of character customization, an aspect revisited in subsequent games. Jobs are similar to traditional character classes, but they can be switched during the course of play. Available jobs include monk, mage, warrior, conjurer, and thief, with more exotic roles such as ninja, karate master, and shaman also available. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide

“Final Fantasy III is an amazing game. It has an amazing story, cool weapons, and the job system is very unique and cool. My only complaint is that the job system sort of makes you choose certain jobs to get through the game. Other than that, it's...”

“Fun. Touch controls are great. New graphics really breathe in life. However, you definitely have to be into old school RPGs.”

“Did some more level grinding while Ed was playing, and took another stab at the last boss. And lost, again. I just wish there was a save point closer to the last boss. I'm getting really sick of...”

“What's the opposite of the 'advanced' milestone? Got beaten, again. But I will prevail, without succumbing to the 'traditional' strategy.”

“Well, in celebration of getting crushed by the last boss, I decided to grind again. Watched a couple movies, kinda auto-piloted on the game. We'll try this again tomorrow.”

“Well, made it to the last boss, after 2 hours of dungeon crawling... and got my ass kicked. I *hate* it when that happens. Now to grind for another couple hours and try to do the *whole* thing...”

“Cruising through the Crystal Tower. Moderately challenging, which means that I probably should've grinded more, but what can you do beside see if I can make it through?”
