Enjoyable, but seemed to stagnate at the end...
User Rating: 7 | Final Fantasy III DS
I first want to say that I really enjoy Final Fantasy games, from classic to modern. I've never played this version before, so I was very excited to play it. This game is actually the reason why I decided to purchase a DS! I felt the game had a great feel to it, and I really enjoyed the way the game played. I also really appreciated the "Jobs" system which gave a lot to individual character development! This changed a seemingly basic turn based RPG into a very interesting game about group dynamics. Even though some of the character classes were a must (Healer Melee Magic etc) there were large differentiations within the classes themselves. My biggest problems were the story, I did not feel as absorbed into this story as compared to the others. I felt that I COULD put this game down for a few weeks and not even feel the need to complete it. This was very different compared to any other Final Fantasy game I've played. After beating the game, I felt reasonably satisfied, but I felt there could have been more.
Overall, this is a pretty solid turn based RPG. Obviously with it being a remake there is nothing "new" brought to the table, but it is nice to be able to play a classic game, which I may have never played if it did not come out for DS. I am glad that it is my collection, but I doubt that I will be playing through it again any time soon.
