A lack of save points and the constant need to level up is annoying, but an overall solid RPG.

User Rating: 7.5 | Final Fantasy III DS
By Cecil_Highwind | Review Date:
Story: The story is a classic Final Fantasy story, the crystals have had their light drained and you, the warriors of light, must restore that light. Even though the main premise is the same as many Final Fantasies, the story has enough twists and turns to keep you occupied for hours on end. It does help that the characters that accompany you some times fight, but some of their attacks become sub-par as you progress. If you want a story filled epic, look at Final Fantasy IV for DS. 5/10
Character Customization: The Job System adds a whole lot of fun to the mix. Being able to change your party to adapt to any dungeon adds a whole lot of depth. It is also kind of funny to see your characters go from the full body armor and lance of a Dragoon to the cloaks and robes of a Scholar. It is also pretty annoying that you have to level up your jobs from level one when you switch to a new job. 9/10
Variety: Tons of weapons and spells will keep you occupied for hours on end. But only 3 spells per level? 8/10
Overall: Final Fantasy III is a good game, but there are other RPGs worth a look that are better than this one. Though with a 17$ used price tag, this game is definitively worth a look form and RPG fan.

    if any of you remembered playing the original Final Fantasy III (not Final Fantasy III which is supposed to be VI for SNES) for the NES, then this is the remake of that game. The game was redisigned with DS graphics, an... Read Full Review
