Anyone playing Final Fantasy III?

[Meredith]

I would like to be able to chat with people on my DS and whatnot, send me a personal message and I will send you my friend code.


I really want to get Onion Knight.

 

[CorporalClegg]

I would, but I broke my DS a few weeks ago and haven't bought a new one. Final Fantasy III isn't all that great, anyway.

 

[Meredith]

I was able to get a friend code from my ex-girlfrien's sister who uis a video game nut, and I was able to get the vaunted Onion knight job, woo hoo!!!!


Now I am training up my onion Knights to go kick some boss level booty.

YAY!!!

I have it, and I played it for a while, but FFIII is just so mediocre in comparison to most of the other games in the series. I really don't feel the need to go back and play it any more.

 

[CorporalClegg]

I actually think the NES one is better.

 

[Good Will Riker]

I prefer the 16-bit SNES version back in the day.

Sigh...

Why can't they make quality games like they used to.

That's not really Final Fantasy III.

Yes, it was Final Fantasy VI for Japan's Super Famicom, but re-titled as Final Fantasy III for North America's Super Nintendo Entertainment 16-bit system for the sheer fact that the 8-bit Japanese Famicom versions of Final Fantasy II and Final Fantasy III never made it over to North America, hence having to re-title the Super Famicom titles Final Fantasy IV as Final Fantasy II and Final Fantasy VI as Final Fantasy III for SNES (Final Fantasy V was never released on SNES, but was eventually ported over for Playstation 2's "retro classics collection.")

I'm surprised at the lukewarm opinions for FF3. In my opinion it's one of the top 5 games in the series. I'm referring to the NES version of course. I haven't yet played the DS remake since I don't actually own a DS. If they re-make FF5 in the same style as 3 and 4 I'll be all over that like white on rice.

So, is that what it means?

I got it now.

Forget FFv. If they ever remade FFVI in that style it would be the last anyone sees of me for quite some time. Still the absolute best in the series, and all the people that try to chime in saying FFVII are wrong. WRONG! I say.

You're definitely right about the FFVII thing. FFX still beats out FFVI though

I really hate the way all the stats are pre-set except for HP.

Seriously, what's the point of having HP subject to random stat increases when nothing else is?

Lack of consistency in games puts me right off them.

That's why I prefer FFV and FFX-2.

Um... Final Fantasy V was released in the US as part of the Final Fantasy Anthology on the PSOne and then again as Final Fantasy V Advance for the GBA.

It's also been all but confirmed that Matrix Software is working on a similar remake.

As for Final Fantasy VI, look for a Chrono Trigger DS like port. I think there's a reason Squenix went with a port in that case. While not 3D, CT and FFVI's graphics are of higher quality. There's also a certain "charm" to them that they wanted to preserve.

If not a port, I think they well do full on remake using the FFXIII engine--perhaps as a practice run for FFVII.
