• 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?

      One of the most action-packed episodes yet! We visit the freed King of Castle Argus before a trip to Cid reveals the back story of the Light Warriors and sees the airship upgraded and we are finally able to leave the Floating Continent into the big wide world! Unfortunately said world is home to a lot of swirly stuff and apparently only Princess Circlefeet knows how to put a stop to this chicanery...

      I hope you realise you just met the first character in the entire Final Fantasy series that had her own musical theme!

      Finally caught up. It has been worth it for all the ridiculous things that have happened.

      If you like water-based dungeons then boy do I have the episode for you! Princess (possibly Priestess) Circlefeet leads us into the Temple of Water before deciding the Cave of Tides is where the real kool kats hang out, all the while spouting her moonchild world love. In the midst of this we encounter "Purple... iguana things", two-headed leopards and frogs.

      What's this? The Shaunas have watched this on time? Inconceivable!

      Those enemies were p tough. So many potions used!

      Also I think ropers are actually recurring enemies. I think they were a dumb looking red ball in FF7. Good EXP!

      Yeah weren't they in the Gelnika? Gelinka? I don't even know.

      I remember the name Roper. I associate it to a rabbit enemy though, not sure why.

      Without doubt the best episode yet, you can't miss it! It has it all, the tragedy of Princess Circlefeet, a balls-out boss battle against the dorky Kraken, wacky coma dreams, brand new jobs including the shortest spell as a Knight ever, Luneth leading an all-male dance troupe and four utterly bonkers old fellas!

      I was going to ask why Kraken was wearing a hoodie, but I can now see why. If I had a face like that, I'd keep it covered up too. And at least it wasn't Arc who was KO'd. He needed that win.

      The ancient harmonica-piano is to be respected! :3

      haha that ship chain is ridiculous.

      Kraken is a wonderfully handsome man, don't diss! Harmonica-piano rules though.

      Glad to see you dual-wield, shion! HER NAME IS PRINCESS CIRCLEFEET probably

      A bit more respect for the first female in the series to die and to have her own musical theme, please! Aria died long before Aeris made it hip!

      The way she died was silly though! Bright flash of white light - what even was that?

      She probably could have used some Light Curtains or something.

      Much clearer in the NES version, where you see that she got hit with a poisoned arrow that was aimed at the Light Warriors.

      After being specifically advised not to go into the sewers because it is Monster Central (and apparently doesn't smell great either) we head down there to set some Levigrass Shoes (no, me neither). However, following our every step are four gentlemen who themselves claim to be the fabled Light Warriors. Who are the real Light Warriors and who are the fakes? It'll take a deadly fight to the death against, erm, some toads to decide!
