Video Game Reviews of Final Fantasy III
Customer Review: Disappointed
Summary: 2 Stars
I was hoping to play a game as good as Final Fantasy 6 which I enjoyed on the SNES. Instead I got a plot-less exercise in grinding with a final dungeon that finally put me over the edge. A complete waste of money. There are plenty of better DS RPGs like Chrono Trigger.Customer Review: Final Fantasy III
Summary: 5 Stars
Great Game!It work great, and without any problems.As a fan of Final Fantasy, I am absolutely thrilled about Final Fantasy III! Customer Review: New twist on an old classic
Summary: 4 Stars
Not near the greatness of FFVII but a quirky runner-up to say the least. Innovative gameplay with the DS stylus is easy and addictive. Would've liked a little more action along the storyline but overall a fantastic addition to the Final Fantasy catalog. Worth buying for sure.Customer Review: updated but still feel dated
Summary: 3 Stars
If I have not played any other FF from IV and on, maybe I would find this game to be a great game, but since I did, FFIII really doesn't measure up to the later FF games, story-wise or gameplay-wise.
There is no doubt the remake is beautiful graphically. The characters and world is modeled in 3D but it's basically still a 2D game, so that's good. There are plenty of jobs classes the characters can assume, so there is definitely replay value to this game. But those are about the only good things.
The story is ok, albeit unimaginative, but the main problem is that it's just too short, and what makes it worse is how late the final set of classes become available. Because the final set appears so late, players pretty much having to run around fighting random battles to grind up the job levels for the new jobs before moving on, because there's not much to move on to. I thing this is something a remake should fix, by introducing more hidden dungeons with more equipments after the final jobs are selectable. Sadly, there's nothing much left to do (even less if you don't have WiFi). And speaking of equipments, the selection is painfully little. The joy of getting new equipments to try on is virtually non-existent for some of the classes.
Besides the short story, I also found that certain old-school aspects of the game made it more annoying and painful-if-your-party-is-wiped-out than difficult, like having to go thru long dungeons without save points, short supply of phoenix downs, and no tent.
I think this is still a good game, but I just feel that it's a bit TOO old-school for its own good. Check it out if you want to play every version of FF there is, but if you want a epic RPG experience then this is not it.
Customer Review: this game is awsome!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This game has a very good story, cool items, and realy cool spells. The battles could be a little more interactive and in cut scenes I think the characters should talk like in F.F. IV, but other than that its awsome. The only thing I don't like is that when a character dies after you fall off the the dragons mountain you have to waste your phoenix down.
