In my opinion, (FF3 is my favorite in the series) all of the ff games I've played so far have been pretty good.

3 is my favorite for a few reasons. Even though there are many times where comedy is thrown into FF3, and I see it in this game more than most, I think there is a very negative tone to the game. I'm pretty sure this is just my personal interpretation, and that everyone's going to see the game differently, but I really felt the struggle of the characters in this game.

From the world of balance turning to the world of ruin, the personal losses of each character, the baggage each character carried but ignored in order to drudge onward, the falling of different towns and separation of the characters, down to the very music most of the game, it gave me a strong negative feeling, like the characters in the game really were struggling the whole time (even if 16-bit really cant show that on their faces )

I think Gau, Ultros, and Kefka (at times) were meant to ease some of the negative tension in the game, but for the majority of the time, it seems to hold a "we're screwed no matter what we do" tone to it, from each characters losses in the past (locke's rachel, cyan's family, etc.) to towns like Narshe feeling they were at a loss whether they fought or not.

Again, I'm sure I just like the negative tone it gives because it shows the struggle in the game, and since that's what I like, i notice it more. Everyones different, right?


also, to the guy on the first page who said no FF game is that deep or hard to grasp...basically called the whole series simple, I'm sorry, but have you ever played FFT?

I still cant tell you whats going on half the time outside of Ramza, all those other characters killing each other and whos alive at the end and whos not and who is using who..

heck they give you a whole page dedicated to updated profiles of like 40+characters just incase you have no clue whats going on anymore..

even a compilation of old videos should you want to see what happened again.

i think all of the games have some depth (with maybe the exception of say FF for nintendo) but if you want a raw example of complexity, that sure must be it
