• I'll play Final Fantasy III so you don't have to! Part 1



    Final Fantasy III is probably the most overlooked of the main series of Final Fantasy, most likely to it being released last. It has recently been released on Steam. Chances are you haven't played it and, with countless games now vying for your attention, likely never will! So don't worry, I'll do it for you!


    Luneth, the lead character of Final Fantasy 3 looks oddly like a Targaryen. Can the incompetence of the person playing as Luneth become any greater?

      Yeah thanks for the heads up guys even though I announced my intention to go into that area way above my level at the end of the last episode

      I feel your pain, Psycho. No worse feeling in the world than getting far in a FF & dying w/o a current save.

      Protip: If I'm not mistaken, I think the walls that have cracks in the castle are where you can pass to get the treasures.

      I think I went and got them in the bits I cut out. I don't remember for sure though.

      A Griffon killed me. I will not stand for this. Revenge is a dish best served cold and Griffon? Buddy? This one's been in the fridge overnight. I also explore Sasune Castle I guess.

      We meet a princess who isn't dressed very practically and her pixelated cleavage would be the highlight of the video, if not for an encounter with the evil Djinn! A hairy, bearded fellow responsible for all of the spooks. Plus... A MOOGLE?!

      This episode went a whole lot better than the others. You're really getting the hang of this game. I think where you left off is where I stopped playing. Makes me want to load it up again.

      I'm excited to see which jobs you pick for each character

      I'm doing my best! It's fun when I smurf up too though, no?

      You're about to find out...!


      We finally get ourselves a job - it's not easy in this economy. In an action packed episode we also see the mood swings of Princess Pixel Boobs, get a Mognet Message and release everyone from the curse of the Djinn!

      Ingus and Sarah sitting in a tree~
      K-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I

      Also, I like Sara's outfit

      Do I ever wish I was thin enough to pull that off

      I guess I'm more mocking the way they're trying to make a pixelated character - particularly when they have such a cutesy art style - to be sexy xD It's like... what are you even trying to do here?

      Maybe she was born with big boobies maybe its maybelline and can't help it!

      Honestly though I didn't get the impression she was supposed to be sexy (probably because of the cute art style like you said) but I do think she's cute!

      Nothing wrong with having large breasts and I'm not judging her for it, though if you're going to go traipsing through caves maybe a low cut peekaboo boob tube - trenchcoat hybrid isn't the way to go.

      Also maybe, but they spent a hell of a lot of time on that pixelated cleavage! xD

      Of course!

      You chose the same job classes I did, except I made Ingus the Red Mage, Luneth the Monk & Refia the Theif.

      After avenging our previous death in the Mythril Mine, with a little modification from Cid we smash his airship headfirst into some boulders. Why? BECAUSE FINAL FANTASY 3, THAT'S WHY! We also visit the town of Canaan, cure a sick woman and run up and down a waterfall!

      We climb Dragon's Peak where we meet young amnesiac Desch. Things are going swimmingly until Bahamut shows up to spoil the party. We then turn tiny to take a trip to the toy town of Tozus, tentatively traversing the treacherous Tozus Tunnel!

      I like how laid back Desch is. "Hahaha got picked up by a dragon." "Lost my memory, oh well! It'll sort itself out."

      Desch is all about the party. Let's not forget he has some poor girl who is bedridden and sick with worry back in Canaan.

      Pro-tip: That little midget by the lake will keep giving you OMini spells if you don't have one in your inventory, meaning you could get up to 5 total (the one Desch gave you plus 4 from little man).
