FFIII is definitly up there I say in the ways of FF's. I've only managed to play though it fully 1 time though. Darn darkness caves, really got to me and frustrated me to no extent when I tried to make it though other times.

Also compared to the other NES FF's it was really great, had a nice story, some good events that happened, and really had a interesting system to play around with. And redirection of attacks (omfg my favorite part of that game no more ineffective baby!)

Really FFIII was a very good game, especially at it's time, and helped to set up how they would make other future FF's. Really a classic I say. Glad it's finally on it's way to being remade and getting out here for all to play.
