DS User Reviews

La versión de DS es un gran remake de este clásico infravalorado. Con una gran dificultad, presenta un buen reto para los amantes del RPG. Muy entretenido su sistema de trabajos y muy versátil a la hora de hacer la party. Indispensable si eres fan de edta gran saga.

Final Fantasy 3 is very different from others in the franchise. It doesn't have a lot of characters or a big epic story. But it does have one of the best gameplays of any final fantasy. The job system makes the battles more interesting than your typical final fantasy game. It doesn't have grand animations or anything, but different jobs have different stats and will change the way you play. There are always moments in final fantasy games where the turn-based combat just becomes boring. In this game, each section of the story rewards you with 4 or 5 jobs that you can use at anytime and change how you play. The one thing I didn't like about the job system is that you can't change jobs fully immediately; you need to do certain amounts of battles before you can use the job. This is just unnecessary. The jobs you get at the end are level 1, so you need to grind to use them properly; this is also very **** game rewards you with tones of weapons and armour throughout a dungeon; this makes them very fun to go through. The dungeons and the towns have a lot of secret passages, so it's rewarding to explore everything. The game is difficult, which I liked, except for not giving me save points before bosses. I don't want to go through the dungeon again; that is just annoying. The bosses are also average design-wise.

Compared to the very lackluster Bravely Default, the remake of Final Fantasy 3 is a great remake that does everything a good RPG should do. It has a great story, great characters, a great sound track, and being able to change your party's jobs on the fly can lead to making battles easier or harder.

Es muy buen juego para mi entra perfectamente en un top 3 de todos los final fantasy, si lo consideramos dentro de los que vienen a ser mas los clásicos ( me refiero a clásicos como aquellos final fantasy de espacio medieval) no tengo ninguna duda de que sería un top 1 rotundo para mi **** quieres un buen juego con esa esencia que te transporte a tu infancia no dudes que este es tu juego, una de las obras maestras de Square Enix. Dirigido por Hironobu Sakaguchi el cual llego a afirmar que el no sabia hacer un juego si no que solo sabia contar una buena historia y eso es lo que iba a hacer con esta grandiosa saga, la historia de este juego si bien presenta algunas irregularidades dentro de algunas escenas es una historia cuanto menos entretenida y emocionante con la cual puedes pasar unas buenas **** de **** banda sonora creada por Nobuo Uematsu es una gran obra de arte con una música pulida asta el mas mínimo detalle que hace que te teletrasportes dentro del juego, es mas solo con escuchar los 89 segundos que dura el trailer puedes apreciar que la música no se va a quedar corta al lado de esta gran historia y por ultimo cabe destacar su gran diseño de personajes realizado por Yoshitaka Amado sin duda a pesar de la limitación gráfica de la nintendo DS se puede apreciar con todo lujo de detalles el esfuerzo y dedicación detrás de todos los personajes y enemigos del **** que este Final Fantasy y no otro, si es tu primer final fantasy este es un juego maravilloso para empezar ya que podrás apreciar lo que es la esencia de los primeros final fantasy sin la necesidad de tener que retroceder asta el punto de los pixeles, ademas que este juego añade un par de mecánicas básicas de los final fantasy las cuales sus predecesores no tienen.Otra razón es que es un juego que simplifica la historia para ser mas fácil de entender para el publico mas infantil, pero sin simplificar demasiado ya que deja un trasfondo en los personajes el cual no seras capaz de entender si eres un **** este juego sea también para niños no quiere decir que sea un juego facil mas bien todo lo contrario ya que el nivel de sus enemigos es bastante alto y si no farmeas unas buenas horas no conseguirás avanzar mucho en la historia, incluso dedicándole unas buenas horas al farmeo no sera suficiente para algunas mazmorras.A pesar de que lo aya recalcado ya demasiado me gustaria decir que la facilidad que encuentra este juego para narrar de una manera sencilla y sin hacer la historia muy pesada ademas de mantener correctamente el misterio y no dar las típicas instrucciones masticadas de que tienes que hacer sino que deja que tu elijas que quieres hacer siempre condicionado por determinados eventos, tu nunca notas en ningún momento que el mapa es pequeño o que estas atrapado de echo cuando piensas que ya se acaba siempre aparece algo mas que hacer y una nueva historia para resolver.Ademas para los amantes de ser completistas este juego tiene una cantidad inmensa de logros complicados para los cuales se necesita mucho tiempo y una gran **** estas pensando en comprarte este juego no lo dudes es una obra de arte que mínimo tienes que jugar una vez en tu vida y si estas buscando un regalo para ese amigo amante de los final fantasy, este es tu juego.

The scores for this are just unfathomable. What a dire game that doesn't remotely value your time. Graphics aren't very nice at all. Sound is very average. Not the best songs and pretty annoying sound effects. Yes I know Nobuo is legendary but the OST wasn't doing it for me at all. Story just isn't going anywhere at any speed. Literally no story line, more just fetchy story lines. Go here kill that, meet this person to get that, that person isn't there, go there to find them. All that sort of stuff, just fetchy in general. Characters have little to no personality. Some things are just incredibly hard to figure out what to do. I hit a bit for example where I had to shrink everyone. When I hit the spell it just buzzed (as in a can't do that noise) and would not shrink my characters. After a good 20 minutes messing on with settings, I managed to shrink everyone. I'm still non the wiser as to how I did it. It just suddenly worked. Another example of not valuing time is a point where the story leads you to believe you need access to a boat and to kill a dragon. Upon googling after many one hit deaths with said dragon and boat, sending me back to the title screen each time, I find out the dragon is unbeatable - period. So why lead me to believe that is what I need to do from the npc conversations? Another dragon encounter, you have to flee. Literally no game ever allows you to flee a boss type enemy, so you just don't think to do it. Again a load of one shot deaths back to the title screen. Remember through these one shot deaths that there is no in level saving, only map saving, so every death means going back through all the invisible bump encounters again to get back to the one shotting boss. It was just one thing after another, a very poorly designed game. I didn't enjoy my time with it and it was just a waste of money. No redeeming factors at all for me. Just a very difficult and boring game which I regret buying. 0/10. Worst game I've played in a while.

I played this on the PSP, Final Fantasy III is an amazing experience for 95% percent of the game, you can explore jobs at your leisure, minimally grind to progress the story, and generally enjoy your time. It's sadly the very end of this game that has such an insane difficulty spike, which the only cure to is hours of grinding to reach the maximum levels in the game to even reach the final boss. The bonus content included from the original DS release also follows this formula, with four great secret quests to unlock additional classes and weapons and then the optional superboss just being an absolute wall demanding specific classes and max levels like the final dungeon. This game disappointed me, I didn't opt to finish it.

Final Fantasy III is a very outdated, average, and difficult game. The game really has little to no redeeming value to it, and only serves as a reminder of how Final Fantasy, as a series, has progress. To be fair though, I'm sure a few more hardcore Final Fantasy fans will enjoy it, and the soundtrack is pleasant to listen to, but that is really all I can say about that.

Enjoyable update of the classic SNES game that contains pretty 3D graphics but keeps the original adventure intact. Very old school in its approach but that's where its appeal lies.

worth it and glad to play ti this game again. so much memories and nostalgia within this third game in the series.

Fun game that was ported to the DS. I would highly recommend it to any FF fan out there.

Не сказать, что игра плохая, но по сути это сплошной гринд, состоящий из случайных схваток. В принципе самое то для портативных консолей. Сюжет чисто для галочки, простенькая картинка. Музыка неплоха, но нужно было додуматься использовать одну боевую мелодию на всю игру, состоящую из одних боев – это «гениально»! Задумку с профессиями убивает то, что при переключении между ними даются штрафы, которые снимаются через несколько боёв и каждую профессию нужно долго прокачивать, чтобы от нее была хоть какая-то польза, а различия между профессиями слабые. Итого опять один гринд. Еще игра несбалансированная – легко подбираются универсальные атаки, которые эффективны против всех врагов. Только иногда на боссах нужно подумать и использовать специфические навыки. Как в это играть без функции автобоя с ускорением я не представляю, но с ней играть можно – простенькие бои все же затягивают. В итоге игру осилил, но растягивая и небольшими порциями - 4/10.

Super addictive RPG, i finished it in less than a week. Story is kinda ok, grinding is necessary near the end. The job system was pretty cool. And it looks amazing!!

La trama troppo scontata e i **** sono sotto tono...livello di difficoltà bilanciato male in alcuni **** poteva fare di meglio

One of the weaker entries in the series in my opinion. They tried to give a little personality to the characters by giving them names other than "Onion Kid" but it didn't add much. I guess Ignus was the rebel? Whatever. At least it introduced the excellent "Job System" which came to underpin many of the best FF games ever.

My first hours with FF III were so fast that I almost didn't felt them, but once you go more deeply into the story, this game can feel at times like a chore. As far as narrative goes, the story is kind of similar to the one in Final Fantasy I but with more story-driven main characters, they're no blank slates this time, although they're not that interesting, they're ok, and for the most part, the story it's good, taking a nice turn near the end, not that memorable but good, it also seems to serve as some inspiration for FF XIV's Shadowbringers. The best part although is its turn-based gameplay, it has a nice rhythm, never too hard but never too easy, at least till you arrive at the final dungeon where the curve has a big spike and you require to do a lot of grinding or take a gamble and lose hours worth of exp, because you can't save indoors or in dungeons, this is unforgivable since this being a remake it doesn't make sense to be this punishing and also it can't be a technical limitation, or maybe it does who knows, this is not a problem in other dungeons since they're not that big, so if you die, you'll only lose like 20 min or so. Speaking of dungeons, it has a lot of boss fights and a lot of them are great and offer a good challenge, although be prepared for some dying. A mixed thing about the gameplay and the new addition to the series is its job system, you can assign different jobs to any character you like and raise their job level (you have a level gauge for the base character and a level gauge for their selected job), this can be fun, but it seems that a lot of jobs are clearly better than others so it's more like you'll be switching jobs when they're available to you, not because you like them but because they're better, the problem is that the best jobs are available near the end so you have to start their new job from zero and do a lot of grinding, if only every job was available from the start this mechanic wouldn't feel so punishing. Visually the game looks pretty nice, although I don't prefer to have the super stylish and cool designs of **** Amano and have the cute and anime like 3D models, once you forget that discrepancy you'll do fine, the music is also great, I loved so much the overworld theme, in fact, there are several musical cues that reminded me of Shadowbringers, so I was pleasantly surprised. All in all, there are certain issues to call this game as a better version than its predecessors, it is certainly a good time around, the story and gameplay may be a little generic by today standards but still they're pretty solid, so is easily to recommend to everyone, just be mindful of the last section of the game that has a stiff curve.

Loved the original Famicom game, the remake blew my mind, so many things added, charcters had personalities, the job system vas changed a bit but is still great, the music is from my favorite on the series. I loved they manteined the use of magic by uses and not changed it to a MP system like they did with FF1&2; played on PC, smartphone, DS, OUYA, Famicom emulator, absolutely love this game, simple and yet fantastic.

Si bien le doy mas nota que las otras versiones, es solo porque es una DS. Por lo que sus malos gráficos son entendibles (de hecho, son buenos para los estándares de la DS). La historia también es interesante (pobre doga y une sniff...). Pero la dificultad lo mata.

+ Was the only way to play the game in Britain. - Huge fan of Final Fantasy but this game doesn't hold up very well. - Biggest flaw is it's difficulty spikes and it's requirement for large amounts of grinding. - The characters have a'lot of customisation but they also have little personality.

It might just be because I got Bravely Default at the same time, but this is kinda disappointing. There's nothing that makes it terrible, but particularly when compared to the other 3, actually 6, it just doesn't have that thing that makes me want to play it for more than about 2 minutes. I could only recommend it to hardcore FF fans, who probably already have it. To summarize, if you have a 3DS, Bravely Default is better, and for DS, I'd actually recommend that Chocobo spin-off. I'm sorry internet, I liked that game.

A solid game that is a bit slow paced in the beginning. I highly recommend this to all FF and Donjon Crawling fans :**** difficulty is also very high, which is something that people like me enjoy Gameplay: 7/10 Story: 8/10 Music: 8/10 Presentation: 7.5/10 Length: 7.5/10 Overall: 7.5/10

This game, while light on story just kept pulling me forward with the fun of it. The job system is excellent and you can really make it work for your style, although most people use a traditional team in the end. The strange thing about my experience was that I accidentally beat it. I was playing through this to pass time until another game's release, and I didn't realize I had went past a point of no return, with no save points anywhere. So, I decided to just keep playing until I died. I beat every mini boss and the final boss instead. So, I guess it was a good oops. Art: 8 Music: 7 Story: 6 Gameplay: 8

Never played the original but really like the remake. The graphics and characters are lovely, the battle system is good with a job system, that succeds.

A remake of an incredible JRPG for the NES. However, a number of gameplay changes caused the game to lose its charm. Battles are way too slow compared to the NES version and the weak hardware of the DS results in frame rate problems.

This game is hard for me to review because personally it isn't my favorite but I still know how important it is. Final Fantasy 3 is really for the die hard FF player only, the game is seriously challenging and very time consuming for a SNES title. I have to be honest, for its' time this game was extremely well written and pretty much brought FF to life (NES didn't have as much attention). I don't think the graphics are on par with Chrono Trigger and the battles are pretty generic, with little to no animation. With that being said, if your up for the challenge this game presents it, especially the end!!!

Final Fantasy III Average User Score: 7.6 7 It's not bad, but not astounding. Final Fantasy is known for having very high production values, but this remake for the DS isn't quite up to speed it seems. Honestly, if only uses 1 screen for most of the game, and no attempts to update the classic but ancient JRPG formula have been made. This makes it somewhat repetitive at times and may turn newcomers off, as and even the best tactician will probably have to grind to get through this game. Still despite all this, FFIII uses a lot of creative and fun concepts in its gameplay, the shining example of this being the job system. This system alone brings unlimited strategic depth to your combat team, almost like pokemon. To sum it up, this game is a remake, but the graphics (which are still bad) are basically the only thing that has been modernized, and it can feel like a very monotonous game at times. Nevertheless, RPG fans will find this game decent, and it still has that FF atmosphere we all know and love.

The old school masterpiece Final Fantasy III finally gets localized and was it worth the wait? Yes! Modern fans might be put off by its classic mechanics and rough difficulty spike but if things like that don't bother you, what will be found is a deep and rewarding nostalgic RPG with a good challenge. The music and graphics are modernized but still have the intended classic feel which is always nice for a remake. The story although hasn't aged well over the years is still pretty interesting and even if it is rather predictable and the main characters who where not explained all too well in the original are given interesting personalities and are fleshed out in a great manner over the course of the storyline and you get a real sense of what each of them is going through. Any fan of Final Fantasy or fans of old school RPGs from the late 1980s to early 1990s should definitely take a look at this great title.

Not the best port, yes they updated the graphics and all but the game could have a received a better treatment. I guess some games don't translate well into modern graphics.

Square pull it off once again with the DS remake of Final Fantasy III. An RPG that wasn't originally released in US and UK has now been remade into a 2-million-selling must-have for a wide audience. Perfect for the DS, this single-player old school RPG has a plot expected of a 20 year old game; 4 "chosen" orphans who go out on a mission when instructed by crystals to cave the world. Simple, effective, fun. The game in itself has been described by many as too difficult for the casual gamer. I for one found it easy, but this may be due to the fact that I use the levelling system (the more battles you win, the stronger your characters become) and level up as much as possible before entering, for example, a new cave, or a new part of the landscape where monsters (who appear in "random battles", which occur while on the world map) may be tougher than in previous locations. This is a key feature in the game; if you do not level up enough, you will suffer and have increased difficulty progressing. Online features (such as mailing other players whose individual game codes you have collected) allow opportunities for side quests, of which there is many. This adds some extra hours onto the end of the game. The game has a low age rating. There is no explicit language or scenes, but the violence which occurs with swords and other weapons could become a problem amongst younger players, earning the game a PEGI 12+ age rating. The game includes about 25 solid hours of gameplay, and if one wishes, an extra 5 hours minimum of side quests. The dungeons aren't too long, and advancing doesn't take too much time, although increasing levels for ease of progression may become a chore, as enemies can be quite repetitive. There is often a case of tapping the A button repeatedly for as many battles as it takes to level up enough to be able to defeat the next boss. Boss fights can be hard, although the final boss was a disappointment, and at a character level that wasn't too drastic, I found the final boss relatively easy, defeating it about 5 minutes in on my first try. One can save at any point on the world map, as long as you are not in a battle or a conversation. There are also places in dungeons (often appropriately placed just before boss battles) where you can save the game and heal up your characters, which is often a point where you may find your self relaxing, knowing that you can retry a boss battle without having to go through the entire dungeon again. There is also a "Quicksave" feature; you can do this in any dungeon or town, which literally pauses the game, while you turn the DS off. There is replay value in the form of Job systems and online-triggered side quests. The job system is a feature of the game where you choose what kind of skills you want each of your characters to gain with progress. These include general fighters, mages, ninjas, etc., all of which have different and vital abilities. The game is easily controlled with the D-pad. I didn't at any point find myself wishing the touch screen had more use, which is admirable. It is easy to control, and you will quickly become accustomed to navigating through menus, the world map and the battle system. Graphics are amazing; characters are distinctly different, and appearance changes with your choice of Job. The environment is amazing also, and while not realistic, the system makes full use of the DS' technicality and the developers have produced a graphics system which has been used in other successful games since. Computer animation is up to par and the colourful cartoon-esque world is perfect for DS and Final Fantasy. There is no voice acting; one of the biggest disappointments of the game. On the other hand, a masterful soundtrack and appropriate sound effects live up to Final Fantasy standards. CGI scenes are just the same graphically, but from different angles and close-ups. The amazing CGI scene which starts on the main menu is astounding. Realistic (for the DS) and just something every game needs; a perfect start-up video to give a taste of the entire game. This game is greatly under-rated. Every aspect seems perfect, and the Square team have really done a great job, as is evident with 2 million sales. At the moment it is listed as the DS' 32nd best selling game. The game has been a success; over 1,000 games have been released for the DS and only around 60 have been million-sellers. 9/10. Why? Although being a brilliant and worthwhile game, and it is a remake so there is little expectancy for this, there is nothing new; nothing to make the player feel they are experiencing something no other game has done before.
