It was a long time since I last got to play FF3. Like, almost 2 decades ago on the DS. I barely remembered anything about it other than it being "aggressively mid," and if you asked me at any point before playing the Pixel Remaster, that's how I would have described FF3; aggressively mid. I genuinely did not remember the game being this bad, jfc There is SO MUCH wrong with this game, such as: - Needing to Mini/Frog …

“Too bad that these days, even putting on my socks is enough physical exertion for a good twenty-four hours.” Jobs. A now integral part of the Final Fantasy series, and while the second installment experimented with a new progression system, Final Fantasy III instead goes all in on the job system first introduced in the original game just three years prior. With a whopping 22 jobs, compared to the 12 (upgrades …

I just finished Final Fantasy III, and it was an incredible journey. This game is the foundation of the series' famous Job System, and it’s still as addictive as ever. The Pixel Remaster version is stunning—the rearranged soundtrack is a masterpiece, and the pixel art is vibrant and full of life. It’s a challenging but fair adventure that every JRPG fan should experience. Highly recommended!

Final Fantasy III is very good but dated. The jobs are fun but the lack of any real story makes it the feel pretty hollow. It's still worth playing if you're a Final Fantasy person who wants to beat them all. If you're looking for something closer to the FFs of more modern times, start with 4.

Final Fantasy III is a charming little time capsule where the job system absolutely carries the party, the nostalgia crits harder than a Dragoon and the story politely minds its own business while you occasionally get lost in a dungeon like you wandered into your grandparents basement. It’s old‑school in all the ways that make you smile and sometimes swear at random encounters. Not perfect, but a warm, cozy, …

positive · AI labelView post →Before we talk about Final Fantasy III, though, I should point out that Square's first RPG to sell over a million copies was actually the first SaGa game for the Game Boy (later localized as "Final Fantasy Legend"). Kind of ironic considering SaGa is much less popular today.
neutral · AI labelView post →FINAL FANTASY III Despite being a fan for 25 years I first played this one in 2021 with the Pixel Remaster. My feelings are similar to that of FFI: short and sweet and surprisingly good (relatively speaking). This game introduces the iconic job system, which would later be bettered in FFV.

The pixel art is great, the locations are interesting, and the soundtrack is amazing. The story is simple and very similar to the previous games, though it does introduce a few new mechanics. I was glad to see the progression system from FF2 gone in favor of traditional hero levels and job levels. That said, I found the job system to be almost a nonfactor during my playthrough. Once I unlocked the Black…
