Final Fantasy III Reviews
The battle system is just fine, this was the last FF without the Active Battle System, so you can really think about your strategy for each round without getting bombarded with attacks. People that aren't big fans of the series will probably be very frustrated with this game, but it's worth the struggle in the end. The story is pretty standard, and really seems a bit too close to the original FF, but it's not bad. I would advise anyone to do some mindless leveling up before you go to any new dungeons, especially toward the end of the game. If you get all the way through a dungeon and lose to the boss.you will have to start all over again. come on). The character models are all the same, but with different faces and outfits, a definite gripe of mine especially since they all look like weeble-wobbles. Graphically, this is one of the most stunning games on the DS.
That being said, this game is menacingly difficult. It is clear that the focus of this game was to try something new with the series, Square tends to experiment every now and then before they drop a truly amazing Final Fantasy title (VIII and IX before X, and XII before the forthcoming XIII). This was the first FF with a custom job system.
It's nice to finally (haha) have Final Fantasy III in English. It's not really the number of random encounters or the difficulty of them, it's the lack of save points within dungeons.
All in all, I enjoyed this game, it's a solid RPG. The job system is ok, but most of the job classes are pretty pointless until the end of the game (Scholar. The music is right on par with the rest of the series, and the story has quite a twist at the end and really becomes interesting.
Nope, it wasn't. However, if you a player who enjoys a good challenge (like me) you will like this game. It is simply frustrating, that's all. So, don't expect a treat, but don't expect a bomb. The characters (Luneth, Arc, Refia, and Ingus) do not compel as much as Firion, Maria, Guy, and Leon did (although they did not compel too much, either). Now for the bad. It's not bad, but it's not good.
This game was okay. Also, Phoenix Downs can only be found in certain areas and cannot be purchased, leaving you with precious few chances to revive KO'd characters. These dungeons are usually time-consuming and difficult. However, this comes to me as an okay game and the graphics (except for the FMV) suck. When you finally get to the boss, he/she can attack two to three times per turn and really thrash you to a Game Over, meaning a wasted hour of gameplay. The battle system, which is still turn-based, is as good as always, and this is the last title except for X to use the turn-based system.
When you actually play, you regularly go to dungeons and caves (another recurring theme of Final Fantasy). Also, it reincorporates the use of the Crystals, the most known theme of Final Fantasy. The music is still good, though not as good as the previous installments.
It has ONE beautiful FMV that is incredible on the DS screen. It is just average. The storyline is much less in-depth than II was, when it should be more.
I thought that this game would be great. Okay, here's the good stuff. Their stories are weak.
I love final fantasy, so I can't hate it. Being objective though, this is a great portable fantasy whch makes me want to remake of four even more.
This game confuses me. I was really looking forward to playing this game, and it had all the basics of what I expect from a Final Fantasy game, but it fell flat on its face after that. The combat is really boring and unbalanced. It has some added cut scenes which are alright I guess. You have to use potions to just to survive in the beginning area. The sound effects are pretty decent, its typically what you would expect from a Final Fantasy game.The graphics are pretty good for a hand held game, and vastly improved from the original. They tell me to go to the castle, so I go to the castle.
I run into some creatures and try to fight them but low and behold they one shot me and all my party members. Its got a lot of potential for a great game, but it just doesn't come through. I guess there had to be at least one disappointing game in the series. The difficulty curve is idiotic. Well that's really not the case in this game. I tried really hard to like this game, it is Final Fantasy. Then, they tell you to go somewhere you figure that means you should be strong enough to handle.
Granted, i usually love turn based combat, but this was just terrible.
a good fun game overall, slow at the begining and difficult to accomplish begging tasks, but very fun.
