The gameplay is fun (am I the only one here who feels the Geomancers are just insanely broken?), the story is especially incredible and deep when you realize when it was originally written. Desch, Unne, and Doga are some amazing characters and it definely has that old school addictive charm.

I'm still waiting to hear my favorite track from the game though... "Roaming Sheep". (SPOILER)I have to defeat Doga and Unei so I can go to Eureka.
Yeah, I also believe it's the best of the Famicon era and also had an incredible story. But I see almost every player of this game shove FF III's story (unrightly so) in FF II's shadow.

And there are actually quite some complaints against FF III DS. Maybe not so much on eyesonff, but certainly on other places I visit. Like how the 3D is horrible, the difficulty insanely nerfed, how no safe points in dungeons suck, how the story is crap, the game way too difficult, that it shouldn't have gone 3D cause now it's crap that has lost the only thing that could have saved it: nostalgia, how it should have stayed in Japan and so on. It's purely depressing.

Oh, and I hope you'll be as impressed with Eureka as I was. Eureka really is an impressive place. The music and the looks of that place are great, IMHO. if there's a place that they really improved in every aspect over the original, it has to be the Forbidden Land Eureka.
