    Finding a chocobo in a forest and talking to someone to receive a sword do not constitute side-quests. That's like calling each hidden treasure chest its own side-quest.

    Yeah, otherwise, getting the X-cal in FF1 could be a sidequest.
    FF1 Class Change could be considered a side quest...

    One thing FFIII did change was getting rid of INEFFECTIVE.
    ARGUMENT FROM GUITAR MASTERY
    (1) Eric Clapton is God.
    (2) Therefore, God exists.

    It also had those cool numbers that showed which monsters each party member was targeting. But then FFIV introduced the ATB system, so they were never used again.

    FF3 also had damage numbers that popped out of monsters when you hit 'em.

    It also used colors on those numbers to indicate exactly what was happening.

    Red = damage
    Green = healing
    Yellow = MP loss
    Blue = MP gain

    Right?

    I just hope Nintendo doesn't screw around with the translation when it comes out on the DS.

    Yup, a great game... although I was actually a little disappointed about the ending. Whatever.

    Meaning what? You're worried they'll suddenly revert to their archaic censorship policies?

    Yeah, I guess the Class Change was the first side-quest. I mean, you don't have to do it to beat the game, but it makes it a heck of a lot easier. And it involves Bahamut, who is usually involved in a side-quest in the other games.
