FFIII DS vs Other systems.
Well being as I've only ever played FFIII on DS I was wondering, what aret he main differences (besides the touch screen crap) from the other versions of the game? How does it stack up?
I really enjoyed playing the DS version. The touchscreen wasn't too bad and you really didn't have to use it if you didn't want to.
Needing to be able to get online in order to get every possible reward in the game on a console that has the worst internet connectivity I've seen in my entire life was a complete piss take. I still enjoyed the DS port though, but I have no preference either way.
was the upgraded graphics and DS features the only difference in the ports?
I'm not sure as I've only played the NES and DS versions.
The biggest difference to me is that they kind of expanded on the story more by having the characters look unique and have actual personalities in the DS version. I have not played enough of the original to say anything about this subject. Really should get around to fully playing through it one day.Originally Posted by Bert
Job classes were also rebalanced in the DS remake, compared to the original where some classes were useless and others overpowered (read: Ninja and Sage). The Final Boss also no longer uses just 1 attack in the DS remake.
I really enjoyed the remake. I did hear it was a lot different than the original but I don't know if I can go back to the old school style of the original. The updated graphics are cute and the job system clearly shows the missing link between FFI and FFV.

The rebalancing in this version was great. Even the lowly Bard was a bad-ass powerhouse if you could figure out how to use it right.
Yeah, Bards were a great support class in the DS version. I used one in one of my playthroughs. Players willingly picking a bard for their party, imagine!
Having seen what little I have of what they've done with III, I would like to see the same treatment with the Original Final Fantasy. Option 1) four warriors with unique looks and personalities. Option 2) one warrior, likely in an action/adventure version of the RPG.The biggest difference to me is that they kind of expanded on the story more by having the characters look unique and have actual personalities in the DS version.

Jack: How do you know?
Will: It's more of a feeling really.
Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?
Will: No.

Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
Huxley: NO!
Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
Huxley: You need to leave, John.
Spartan: But Huxley.
Huxley: Get out!
Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.
By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.
