And i'm rolling straight into 3, the final FF game of the NES era :D Now this is a game i remember very little of. I did play it once, i think on the PSP, and remember it was pretty good, but i don't remember any of the plot or anything.
Onwards we go!

Just got the platinum trophy for Final Fantasy III. So far I'm enjoying this journey, can't wait to start FFIV. btw I skipped FFII Because man... I couldn't stand the leveling system in that game and since I'm new to this series I had to do some research, And it turned out that I'm not the only one …

It's been a long journey and now I'm on the final grind to prepare for the gauntlet of bosses in Crystal Tower / World of Darkness. There's definitely some sort of comfort in just grinding out levels, slowly watching the numbers go up, but damn I am so ready to move on to Final Fantasy IV. I'll be playing the …

There's definitely some sort of comfort in just grinding out levels, slowly watching the numbers go up, but damn I am so ready to move on to Final Fantasy IV. I'll be playing the DS version of that one as well, so hopefully I don't end up locked out of content because I have no one to connect to like I did with III?

The encounter rate in this game is such a breath of fresh air after the suffocating "random" encounters in the first two. I can walk down a corridor in a dungeon without battling every few steps! I've also party wiped at least 5 times in the opening two hours of the game due to stumbling into more challenging areas without …

Decided to actually follow-through with playing the mainline FFs in order and now I'm on III. It looks like I can either download the pixel remaster on my phone (which I did for I and II) or play the version I have for the DS.
Anyone have strong opinions on if it matters?

Anyone have strong opinions on if it matters?
EDIT: Seems like the PR is by far the favorite, but is it a $17.99 favorite????

Nothing like a nice hot bath (this area is currently bugged in the Pixel Remaster of FF3. Lava does no damage, so enjoy nature's exfoliation while you can).
Edit: Oh, maybe it's not a bug. This falling lava damages you @ 1 hp per tile. In the DS version at least, all lava tiles damage you.

Another quality of life improvement from the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters that I didn't notice til now. You can go to your map and see how many treasures/items are in each area and it will tell you how many you've found. These games are beginning to feel like the definitive versions the more I play them. Yeah, I know we've …
Another quality of life improvement from the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters that I didn't notice til now. You can go to your map and see how many treasures/items are in each area and it will tell you how many you've found. These games are beginning to feel like the definitive versions the more I play them. Yeah, I know we've had remakes with cleaner graphics and extra content, but these feel more true-to-the-originals with more streamlined system mechanics for the modern gamer. I'm having tons of fun.
I should probably go back and find that last item. ^-^;

First impressions from the Final Fantasy III Pixel Remaster. The music is fantastic, the sprites are so cute, and you can actually move diagonally on the world map and in dungeons/towns and there's a dash feature! Also, the flow of battle is much more expedient. There less time between actions and hits don't take more time the stronger they get, …

Also, the flow of battle is much more expedient. There less time between actions and hits don't take more time the stronger they get, speeding up the battles even more. The particle effects from skills and spells are also quite nice. Oh, there's a minimap in dungeons, too!
Something else worth noting is that the 3D remaster limited the number of monsters on-screen to three because of the technical limitations of the DS, so now you can fight large groups of monsters like you did in the original.

My favorite FF of the first trilogy. The job class system is a welcome addition to the franchise.

A totally fine game. Not really a classic itself, but a good example of the classic JRPG style with a slightly modernized presentation. You can see how this version of FF3 was kind of a prototype for Four Heroes of Light and, later, Bravely Default. I'm a fan of job systems like this one, so even though the plot was …

You can see how this version of FF3 was kind of a prototype for Four Heroes of Light and, later, Bravely Default. I'm a fan of job systems like this one, so even though the plot was pretty rote and the characters flat, I got a fair amount of mileage out of changing up my party periodically. The problem is that what I really like are the weirder, niche jobs, like scholar and hunter, but it seems like those just aren't that useful once you unlock the suite of more advanced but standard classes. I also didn't go for any of the high-level side stuff like ultimate weapons or the iron giant boss, mostly because the grind was proving to be pretty slow. Overall I recommend the game if you're looking for some classic crunchy JRPG action.

The android update recently added the much coveted fast forward/auto battle feature. I'm looking forward to revisiting this one.

I'm fairly certain that I'm close to the final boss of the game, but I'm getting seriously nervous by how long it's gone with no opportunity to properly save the game (aside from the temporary "Quick Save" feature on the DS version). If the final boss (or the RNG Gods) kick my butt, I'm gonna lose a solid-few-hours of progress …
