I still need to find the game. Might pick up another DS game this week but it won't be FF3 if I keep running into stores that don't have it in stock.
As long as it's fun, like the original from what I played of it. That's all I ask. |

Originally posted by MidnaI don't remember any in the original, either, actually. Could be wrong there though. Either way, that's something I would expect them to have in the game for the DS version. I remember the last dungeon being just plain scary because of a lack of save points... but the challenge to it is pretty rewarding at the same time. It'd just make more sense to have them, nonetheless. |

Well, I've been playing it more lately. I like the job system, it adds a really nice touch to the game. If I had one complaint though, it would be the Save feature. Sure, there is quicksave, but it shuts your power off - and personally, after going through a whole dungeon, dying at the boss, and then having to restart from the overworld, is a bit annoying.
I wish it was like other Final Fantasys that had save points in the dungeons - or maybe I just haven't encountered any yet _¬ |

This is a decent game... but I haven't touched it much since I bought it. See, I bought Portrait of Ruin the same day. I played FF III first and made decent progress. PoR has entertained me much more thoroughly. But this game is not bad per se. |

Is this a "must have title" or can I be all awesome like and get another title for my forecoming DS? |

It's the original but in 3D and with a new translation, if that makes any sense. |

As has already been stated... Yes. |

This game is one of the best Final Fantasy, but i have a doubt : is this a remake of the original? |

I picked this up around the time it came out.
... haven't played it yet. I bought FFV Advance at the sametime, and just decided to start playing that first I guess, and I've been tied up with other games. But yeah, I should definitely play this game sometime. |

Originally posted by ThexareOriginally posted by Shadic Eh, crap. That's what I meant. Should probably not post right after waking up. I should be playing it a whole bunch, but I'm distracted by other things, such as Yoshi's Island DS. |

I have it, but I preferred the original (I downloaded a translated rom).
I despise them Spoiler:
making the onion knight a secret class and lowering the power of the ninja and sage Also, I think the 4 brothers was kind of cooler. Spoiler:
it also made more sense when you saw the 4 fake heroes... they looked alike and so did you at one point. not to mention the fact that they Spoiler: ruined the whole fake heroes scenario by making the townspeople know they were fakes. in the NES version, they thought YOU were the fakes, if I remember correctly. |

Originally posted by MidnaIt was released solely in Japan. We could only play it in FF: Anthology for PSX up until FF V Advance was released recently. Speaking of which, that's another great game. |

Oh ok. I never played any of the NES FFs, only the SNES and beyond, so this game should be fun to beat.
Thexare: Wasn't there a FFV for the SNES too? I thought one was released in 1992. |

Originally posted by Shadic 2 and 5, Shadic. We got a simplified FFIV (FFII on SNES). We didn't get FFV until PSX. |
Shadic Posts: 454/528 |
Correct. It was the only Final Fantasy game never to hit the states, as FF 2 and 4 were released in another compilations, or something to that sort.
So yeah, this is a completely different game than the "Final Fantasy III" Read: VI that hit our shores back in the SNES era. |

Originally posted by MidnaI have beaten the original NES version, which wasn't released in the U.S.. It was quite good, marked the beginning of the job system, and was a huge step up from I and II in the series, but it was quite flawed at the same time as far as gameplay was concerned. From what I've seen, this one is quite different as far as Final Fantasy remakes go (playable characters now have names and personalities, tag-along NPCs now have attacks, etc.) but I think it is about the same game in premise. |

It's an remake to the ff3 for the nes from what i know was never realeased in the states. |
S.N.N. Posts: 1954/2028 |
I actually didn't see it .. probably because yeah, it was three months old
Dr_Death: You said there is an original to this game? I thought this was a new Final Fantasy .. is it actually just a remake of one I never played? Or did you just mean FF3/6 for the SNES? |

Topic validity aside, I find this game rather entertaining.
I've gotten a bit more into the game, have characters around 18. Thinking about changing my classes though. Right now, I have two warriors, and a white and black mage. Them black belts are looking mighty tempting to convert to... |

Originally posted by Dr_Death16That thread was made well before the game came out in places other than Japan... And reviews by people who can't wait for a translation into their own language tend to be rather skewed. As I stated in IRC as well, if you are suggesting he perform a three month bump instead of the accepted practice of making a new thread asking people's opinions, then uh. I would disagree on that point. |
