Final Fantasy III is the missing link in Square's critically acclaimed roleplaying game series, the one title never localized for North American audiences. That is, until now. Nintendo DS owners will finally experience the game with new 3D graphics and a number of other enhancements. Originally released in 1990 on the Famicom, Japan's version of the NES, Final Fantasy III features updated characters and abilities, a revamped storyline, and a touchscreen interface that makes the game playable solely using the stylus.

Gameplay involves exploring the world from an overhead perspective with areas such as towns and dungeons presented in a closer, more detailed view. Battles adopt a turnbased system with characters able to switch rows to enhance attacks or minimize damage. Final Fantasy III is notable for introducing the job system of character customization, an aspect revisited in subsequent games. Jobs are similar to traditional character classes, but they can be switched during the course of play. Available jobs include monk, mage, warrior, conjurer, and thief, with more exotic roles such as ninja, karate master, and shaman also available. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide

    Pros: overall a great game

    Cons: some dialog is to drawn out

    For those of you that didn’t set with a Japanese to English translation book years ago playing an import of the original Final Fantasy 3, you are in for a real treat. And, if you did, you are still in for a treat. Final Fantasy 3 for the Nintendo DS... is beautiful. The game controls aren’t to sticky or repetitive, something that seems to plague DS titles. The graphics and cut scenes are vivid and more than you might expect. The old storyline is still there with a few new twists and turns. Final Fantasy 3 is defiantly going to be making a lot of people happy and fill in some of the void that the FF Fanboys have been missing. Read more Less

    The bottom line is Final Fantasy III is not only one of the best RPGs released for a portable system in years, it's also one of the best RPGs released for any system in years. Final Fantasy III proves once again that there's simply no stopping a classic. Read more

    Final Fantasy III (DS)

    Not only is this a nicely done remake of an influential, little-seen early chapter from this long-running role-playing series, it's also an all-around solid RPG. Read more
