So old-school it hurts... but it hurts so good

Jan 2, 2007

If you were to judge this remake of the Japanese Final Fantasy III solely on its appearance, you'd be right to think its a modern-day re-imagining of an 8-bit classic. However, that assessment would only be half right. The visuals, music and platform may all be the latest in handheld tech, but the top-notch recreation can't hide the hard-assed, 1990 gameplay that dwells underneath the shiny surface. You want character development? None of that here. Final Fantasy III loosely touches on a tale ...

We're in the middle of an old-school Final Fantasy renaissance. This time last year FFIV appeared on the Game Boy Advance, and this very week we'll see FFV make its GBA debut - but next week, the only Fantasy to never make the leap across the Pacific arrives with a totally new look, sound and presentation. Originally released on the Famicom in 1990 (that's the Japanese NES, just so you know), FFIII comes to DS with completely redone graphics that put in on par with Final Fantasy VII - maybe ... » Read Full Final Fantasy III preview

Monday 22 May 2006 Final Fantasy III, the last game in the series to finally make it out of Japan, is being remade from scratch for Nintendo DS. Featuring full 3D graphics and tweaked gameplay, this is another adventure that fans who loved the GBA remakes will gobble up. According to the team behind the game, the idea was not to give a whole new experience, but instead to offer the original classic experience in a new way. The result is a game that's about as traditional as can be. But if ... » Read Full Final Fantasy III preview

The history of the Final Fantasy series is notoriously spotty in the US. But we all know the series is a mega-hit, now, too. The last game to make its journey to the U.S. is Final Fantasy III, which is being remade from scratch for the Nintendo DS.

The forgotten fantasy makes its US debut and boasts a boatload of enhancements

Mar 1, 2006

By the end of this year, the Game Boy Advance should be home to all the classic Final Fantasy games in their original forms. All but one, that is. Final Fantasy III has been singled out for a DS-sized upgrade, gaining a brand new face and other as yet unnamed features. The original FFIII was only released for the Japanese NES in 1990, and has never been officially translated into English. The fact it's coming out at all is enough to make Fantasy fanatics run for their stash of Phoenix Downs. ... » Read Full Final Fantasy III preview
