hey square, what about ff3?

[aeris2001x2]

very true. i would still like it so i can complete my collection. but i can not see myself playing it more then once or really enjoying it.

if they did sum kind of *ffIII, Dawn of souls 2* or sumthin 4 the GBA then i would be more interested.

I hated how in FF3 you had to unequip your weapons and armour every time you wanted to change your job classes. >_<

[DJZen]

You people are SPOILED.

[aeris2001x2]

how so DJzen?

[Chris]

The Onion Kids/knights whatever, kinda looks like the Lilty race from Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles. Sorta...

That's how.

[aeris2001x2]

hmm, well i never thought of that before...but that is pretty annoying. sum bad interface there. changing Job should auto take off your equipment.

[Dante WolfWood]

lol, that is spoiled, I loved the job changing style of FF3, thats probably my favorite FF game b4 FFVII so far...still gotta get a fully translated one tho...>.>

[Takara]

I think the one you can download here at EOFF is fully translated in English, but seeing I have not finished it yet, I could be wrong.

[DJZen]

The one I have is fully translated. I can't speak for the quality of that translation though...

[chionos]

www.freeroms.com has a translated ff3 it has bad sound though, so you might want to turn the emulator sound off and blast some ffi or ffii mp3s :P

ff3 is like some bad mix of ff1 and ff5. I'm having fun playing it, but it lacks a certain flair and individuality to set it apart from the other ff's. and something else.....oh yeah, the story kinda bumbles along. Sometimes you have NO clue what you're supposed to do next, but luckily the size of the world(tiny) makes it easy to figure it out.

[UltimateSpamGrover]

is FF3 the sequel to FF1?

all of your replies is making me think that.

[aeris2001x2]

ffIII is just a rehash of ffI, and gets boring very quickly i,ve found.

[chionos]

No, it's not a sequal. None of the final fantasies share any kind of storyline. Well, until now I guess with FFXII, whose world is taken from FFTactics.
It is its own game. But like aeris said it's just a rehash. It's like taking a 69 mustang and giving it a paint job and saying it's a new car....or something.
Play it though, neway. It's a fun game regardless of its deficiencies.

[DJZen]

Hmmm..... Not QUITE a rehash. There's some very big differences.

New classes: FFI had 6 selectable classes (with the upgrade it was sort of expanded to 12, but many were just more powerful versions of the prior class. The Master was not different from the Monk, for example). FFIII has Summoners, Geomancers, Berserkers, Archers, Magic Knights..... There's a lot of debate about which classes are actually useful, but there's definitely more versatility.

New spells: this sorta goes without saying, every new FF game has new spells. This one introduced some cool ones that became mainstays though.

Job switching: You can change your job at any time in FFIII. In FFI you had what you started with and except for the upgrade, that was it. It made you think ahead more, but again, you can be more versatile when you can change out at any time.

Equipment management: You can equip two weapons at once. On anyone. In fact, it's sort of considered the only way to go about equipping yourself in this game.

Dungeon types: This is a pretty big one. Some dungeons force you to have a status cast on your party in order to enter it. A lot of people actually hate this about the game. I can personally say that going through a whole dungeon while mini is rough.


there's enough differences to warrant playing through it if you've already played FFI. Just like there's enough differences to warrant playing FFIX if you've already played FFIV.
