I think I'll pass on this one. I love playing FF games on my PSP, but this is basically the same game as the DS version with a few bells and whistles. I actually wish Square-Enix would put out a 2D polished version like they did with FFI, FFII, and FFIV.
Basically, if I never got my DS version, I would be down with this.
Yeah, we've got like three games for the DS and my PSP is broken so I need to pick up the DS version for this sometime soon.
I was also hoping for a 2D HD remake. It's a shame that FFIII has yet to have a 2D re-release like all the other games from FF1-6. The two screenshots for the WSC release looked really promising.
At least FFIII finally makes it debut on a Sony system.
I feel you have come up with the most legitimate reason for buying this game.Quote:

LOL @ the 51 million Vita related questions on that PS Blog post... Everyone here knows I'm a Sony guy, but I kinda feel bad for those kids commenting on the blog who are so attached to the brand, post after post with their child-like, innocent optimism that their Vita will be a part of it... only to be rejected.
Well they weren't exactly rejected and I'm sure someday FFIII will be added to the PS Vita supported titles. But until then you can always get around it: Download to PS3, Don't install it, copy directly to PS Vita. Simple and easy way to get non-Vita supported PSP titles to work!
EDIT: Square Enix just confirmed it will be PS Vita Compatible!

Now you can experience FINAL FANTASY III and take the experience portably through the PlayStation Portable (PSP) and PlayStation Vita (PSVita)! All your favorite FINAL FANTASY titles from the PlayStation era are available at the palm of your hand, a thrilling experience for any Sony user!
Well, at least some people that still haven't played the game in English will get a new opportunity. Do you think they might change the difficulty settings? 'Cause I heard that, due to the DS's cartridge limitations, they couldn't fit as many monsters on screen as the original SNES version, so they just made the enemies stronger. Do you think they'll return to more monsters this time?
I probably won't get this. I've never played this game, but I have no desire to. It seems that anything below FFIV is only worth playing for nostalgia's sake.
It is a pretty good game in its own right. Pretty outdated by todays standards, but very much worth playing and quite ahead of its time in some aspects.Quote:

I gotta co-sign this. The remakes are all awesome. Especially FFIII. It's my favorite game for the DS, and that was a monster system for RPGs.Quote:

The FFI one is awesome as well, the only design flaw the game carries over from the NES original is the whole weird mystic key thing that's just out of the ordinary. It's actually still pretty cool...
It's Vita compatible!
"You can download Final Fantasy III on the Vita store starting today :D No update on 5 though."
With yesterday's PS Store update, FFIII (PSP version) is now supported on the Vita. Apparently it was initially launched on both the Vita and PSP storefronts, but a few hours in, Sony yanked it from the Vita store. It's now available to download directly without having to use the workaround :)
This is pretty much the reason why I wanted to try out the PSP version. The DS version was a nice remake, but I could never be bothered to finish it, especially since you needed Wi-Fi to do all the side quests. With the PSP version, I'll have a reason to give this game another try, and hopefully I can do the side quests this time. I've played FFIII PSP for 2-3 hours now, and so far I've enjoyed it. It could be just me, but the graphics seem a bit more polished than in the DS version. What I like about the soundtrack is that you can choose either the original 8-bit music from the NES version, or the rearranged soundtrack from the DS version.Quote:
