I'm not saying people should hail III for having the best story ever, it's just that when I see people saying that III had no story I can't help but sigh and shake my head. After FF II, SE really didn't go back to less when it came to story. III should get credit for story just as much as II. II gave us characters with personality, III gave us the same (the sub characters, I mean), but added backgroundstory to its plot and an explained motive for its villain. You know, the stuff with the Flood of Darkness and the Great Magus Noah. We got a bit of insight in the history of the world and the villain, for the first time in any FF game.

And what III also started was the classic scene in which friends of the party come to save your party. In III Cid, Desch, Old Man, Alus and Sara came to save you from the curse of the Wyrms, in IV your friends healed you so you could fight Zeromus, in V the Dawn Warriors saved you from Exdeath's Void and in IX your party healed the 4 that would fight Necron.

I'm getting off-topic here, but common, I know it is nothing compared to current FF games, but can we at least give III's story credit for the parts where it indeed deserves credit? I see this so little these days... III did a lot of things for the series, but every time the things it did get either shoved to II or IV. Aside from the jobsystem. Most people give III credit for giving us the jobsystem. But they ignore the rest.

Dont worry FF III, at least I still love you. ^^"
