FINAL FANTASY III

FF3 continues the evolutionary nature of the Final Fantasy series. If you're playing through in order, like i am, then this game will feel like so much more than the last two. Expectations will be subverted (if you're playing blind) and the new job system adds an entirely new and interesting layer of complexity and strategic thinking. Do yourself a favor if you're going for 100% and make use of the in-game maps and bestiary as well as the full amount of save slots to keep saves at different points just in case you miss something in one of the one-time only locations (I had to do a second playthrough all the way up until a certain one-time dungeon just to encounter the one missing entry in my bestiary because none of my saves were from prior to said dungeon). Maybe play with a spoiler free missables guide if you don't want to stress out or if you want to be more efficient than I was. If you lean on the job system to exploit enemy weaknesses, manage your resources well, and make sure you collect the items and treasures as you go, then there's really no need to grind at any point. On my second playthrough, I felt like I always had plenty of Gil and an ever-growing plethora of tools to handle any battle I came across. Also, as a bonus, playing this way made the battles more engaging. So there are plenty of options to play how you'd like in order to tailor the experience to your tastes. Give it a shot if you like the older FF games or are curious about them! It's a lot of fun!

Yet another wonderful blast from the past. A great game that shows one of the biggest evolutions of the FF series with the introduction of the true job system.

Me lo pase varias veces en todas sus versiones, platinearlo la verdad es facil, el bestiario es mucho mas sencillo de sacar que los demas final fantasy y eso se agradece aunque me falto el tipico boss dificil de encontrar por agregar algo de dificultad como en las anteriores entregas. El Sistema de Trabajos: Es la gran estrella del juego. Poder cambiar a tus personajes de profesión en cualquier momento (pasar de Guerrero a Mago Blanco, Monje, Ladrón, o el debut del icónico Caballero Cebolla) da una libertad estratégica brutal. Experimentar con los equipos es adictivo. Gran sentido de la aventura: El mapamundi es enorme, está lleno de secretos, barcos voladores, un mundo sumergido y una escala que para su época fue revolucionaria. Aunque se agradece el viaje, la narrativa es quizás su punto más flojo: a diferencia del tono maduro y dramático de la segunda entrega, la historia aquí vuelve a ser una fábula muy simple, inocente y con un aire algo infantil, por eso para mi la historia no es su fuerte, pero eso no impide que siga siendo un gran Final Fantasy gracias a su divertidísima jugabilidad.

Final Fantasy 3 was a joy from start to finish. I was immediately emotional over my party (the Onion Knights are so adorable), and I enjoyed the job system quite a bit. It threw me off whenever I changed jobs, though, as I had gotten used to how my characters looked. I also enjoyed getting use out of magic spells such as Mini and Toad, as I never used them in the previous instalments. One of my favourite aspects of the game was having characters join your party. This was my favourite part of 2, but I liked that they only joined for the story and didn't fight alongside you in battles. Special shout-out to Cid and Alus, who have the best sprites in the game. I loved Cid's hat and nose, and Alus' cape and crown. Since I loved the characters who joined me, I connected with and enjoyed the story much more than I did in the first two instalments. Somehow, the Invincible is both the best and worst airship I have experienced so far. I loved having a bed to rest in and a shop on my airship, but what do you mean I can't fly over mountains? Who made this decision? Absolutely horrific. I also enjoyed the final dungeon, as it felt challenging without being complete overkill after all the grinding (like in most FF games). The final boss was a bit random (FF9 syndrome), but I still had a great time. Somehow the Salamander boss fight was the hardest in the game. He was a loser and ruined my experience. Doga and Unei are goated. Also, this was the first FF game with Moogles! Imagine my delight when I saw them. It's been too long.

Excellent version of Final Fantasy III. I remember the last dungeon, the final mission as being a super harsh slog without any saves. The Pixel Remaster throws you a bone by letting you use the quick save function, which I did use for the final area. Fortunately I did not have to use it so I'm not sure if it actually works but I felt better about going into the final fight without (hopefully) having to start at the beginning of the dungeon again and grinding back all those levels. You only get the Ninja and Sage class in the last area so you have to grind those classes up a bit if you are going to use them. I did and man I had a blast. This version seemed much easier than the DS version which I had played previously. Overall this is the perfect version to run through if you want to experience the game with an updated interface and some nice QOL features, especially if you have already played some of the previous versions. The sound track is amazing and the new music in no way detracts from the original flavor. You have the option to play both original and the new scores if you want to explore the music side of things. I really appreciate that they present the original games in their original layouts and story formats for these pixel remasters. If you are a FF fan it is a must play.

Good stuff

Better than the first and second but still look basic. In fact, the job system is really nice and bring something new and different

solid

Pretty fun, can change jobs at anytime.

Имба, но что нельзя из финальной локации выбраться - кринж. На соплях победил босса до этого и не сохранялся в обычные слоты? Молодец, начинай игру заново. Даже выбора ведь не дают, тупо отправляют туда без каких-либо предупреждений. Шедевр геймдизайна. Хорошо хоть разобрался, а то впечатление намного хуже бы было. Секретки кайф.
