so, I was thinking of getting this game, and I was wondering, is it any good? Ive read reviews and such, and I'm not sure if I want to, so I was wondering what you all think of it.

i don't don't know, but i planning on buying a DS Lite so i can play this game haha.. maybe i should get some background info too before i go and buy it

As a personal HAter of the DS and its design, idunno....... considering its just the game that was never in america and we saw the SNES FFIII was just FFVI to the japenese.........so i dunno buy it if ya want

I'll buy it and tell you guys, as soon as a store gets some in stock, all stores around here, sold out

I actually like the design of the DS, it fits well in the hand, love the inovation with the two screens,touch screen, it's wifi compatible = online gaming at it's best, Internet. It's a way better system than the GBA SP

I'm waiting and waiting till this games hit the stocks, It's the missing game in the ff series here in Europe. And after reading all the previews of the game I definitly going to buy it.

well i still havn't heard anything about the game.. and im going out tommorw and buying a DS Lite and FFIII.. so i hope its good.. its either that or children of mana/magical star sign

It's great and well worth buying. However, A great example of an old school RPG but a lack of detail in the storyline and characters deter greatness. Battle system is pretty good, Speaking of the battle system it's not to bad. It isn't like the recent FFs where it shows who's up next to attack; this is old school right? The battles go by fast and you level up quite a bit. The bosses closer to the end are very hard and will require multiple times before you figure out a good strategy. Now this brings me to a big complaint. There are no save points in the dungeons which means if you die from the boss you'll have to restart the dungeon all over again. You will have to power level a lot in this game. The job system is good but not perfect. Each time you want to change a character's job you will have to go through a certain number of battles. This can range from a few for a job like the one you already have or all the way up to 10 for a completely different job such as Warrior to Black Mage. Their are a ton of different job classes and each have a cool "move". For a Dragoon it's a jump into the air or for a White Mage it's their magic.

This game easily has the best graphics for any RPG on the DS and in my opinion the graphics are the best on the DS. The enviroments are all detailed although the dungeons look alot alike. All the job classes have different outfits and in the battles the weapons are all unique. The music in this game is great. Done by Uematsu, this is what a Final Fantasy should sound like. The soundtrack is great but a lot of it seems simlar to me.

Overall this game is an easy choice for any fan of Final Fantasy or old school RPGs. People who play newer RPGs will be turned off though by the lack of save points and the amount of power leveling you will have to do.

It's a good game to buy. It offers all the fun of the original and then some, but then removes a lot ofthe tedious monster camping that was required to take out bosses in the original. Obviously it brings back the class system, but whatever you choose you can almost always end up with a great final party anyway. And although the tory is basic, it still delivers fun enough to be worth buying.

Very true! 8D I have to agree that even if Wii doesn't do well in the long-run with the console wars, which I would be hoping they would because I am the Wii-fangirl, Nintendo could always dominate handheld with the DS.

My friend just got this game for her birthday, lucky woman. D8 I apparently outgrew the get-games-for-any-occasion a couple years ago. But still, she's been saying really good things about this game and how "cute" it is. I've tried playing it on the NES via....certain means.....so I've tried a bit of what I think is on the DS. I can't say I like it too much when I played it then, but maybe it's a lot more different now. 8D Who knows, I sure haven't been keeping very good track of it.

I wasn't happy with this game. If you're looking for an old-school RpG, then this is good. Me, I want something more then that. . . I found it just downright boring.
