|  | Once upon a time there was a series of games that were probably much, much more enthralling and emmersive when you were younger. I think of the early versions of Final Fantasy, I remember playing the originals on NES and again on SNES, then when it was transitioned to PS1 and PS2 I still was loyal to the franchise, thoroughly enjoying the role-playing juggernaut. Most recently Nintendo has released Final Fantasy III, not the one with Terra and Kafka, but one that was never released in the west. And although the story is one that is very familiar to other Final Fantasy games, with the search for mystical crystal that help to maintain the balance between dark and light, blah, blah, blah, something to do with being warriors of light, and a bunch of jobs a la classic Final Fantasy, which can be best described as more a hindrance then a boon to the game itself. This you'll get your characters and upgrade them in a specific job, but as the game progresses and you save more crystals you'll receive more jobs that start from level one, so toss aside the old job for a more powerful one, that has certain effects, honestly, the game doesn't require the large amount of jobs in it because the replayability just isn't there, it's more classic game that you play, see what it's about, then be thankful that the franchise didn't stay this way, and when you're done with the game you're done. I found my interest in this game waining most times, it's just too old a premise for me, there are no save spots in dungeons, which kinda sucks considering that if you get killed you lose everything from new items, weapons and armour to levels attained, don't worry about losing the spells you learned as you levelled up, you got to find them and assign them. The monsters as well as the characters within the game have the appearance of texture and three-dimensionality, which is an improvement, but only in presentation, in a turn-based role-player that basically involve the characters slashing the air, or throwing a spell, so the whole 3D thing is pointless nothing is changed to the gameplay as compared to the original pen and paper monsters and characters, it looks nice though. The two screens for the DS is useless, basically the top screen has the world map, no dungeon maps at all, not even an exploration map in dungeons, did I mention no save spots or tents or cabins, something that was and is a staple to Final Fantasy that sucked a lot.
All in all, this is an OK upgraded version of a classic, the story is an old one, and has been told and re-told within the franchise. So this title is more for the classic afficiando of Final Fantasy, personally, I don't think this game is worth the money since it's only an upgrade platform title with a stale premise that has been using and tossed aside by Square Enix, but give it a try you might enjoy this one, it is an OK game, enjoy.

| | I can't think of any other role-playing game for the Nintendo DS that can manage to keep up with Final Fantasy III. The 3D graphics and the soundtrack bring an appropriate atmosphere through this reminiscent childhood game. I recommend this to anyone who is familiar with this role-playing series or any other rpg. Note that if you are not a fan or rpgs, you will probably not enjoy.
| | | Having played Final Fantasy from its early days on the NES all the way to it's evolution to the PC and on, I can say that I am thoroughly enjoying this incarnation.
If you played the early versions on the NES and SNES, this will bring back fond memories of adventuring into a mysterious world filled with monsters and friends alike.
The graphics, music and play style are like those of the early FF but if you are into nostalgia, then this is the game for you.
| | | I'm honestly just getting into the Final Fantasy genre. I know, I know, I'm a bit behind, being in my twenties and never having played a FF game more than 10 minutes before.
This game is really really beautiful to look at, and also an experience for the ears. Even for a noob like myself, it's pretty easy to play, though I admit I stumble at times.
I really do recommend it to anyone. Even if you've never played an FF game before. It's worth the money, even if just for the visual and audio experiences. :)
