FINAL FANTASY III

the OST made it worth not skipping, those water-themed tracks are so nice. i finished 1&2 on PSP before this so the old level-based magic system caught me off guard. Job system is cool but i prefer more and varied separate characters / party members instead (i'm weird) almost skipped it to go straight to 4 on PSP but i mentally didnt feel right skipping a game on my journey (no larps allowed)

i love men

Final Fantasy 3. This was another game i was pleasantly surprised by. The game is great, obviously the music is phenomenal as always and the gameplay actually feels rewarding unlike FF2 This was the first game to introduce what we know as the Job System. You can pick from a selection of jobs on the fly whenever you want. From what i hear, it was very tedious to switch jobs in the OG game, but the PR helps make that a non issue ESPECIALLY for those sections where they force you to pick certain jobs this game was the first with the job system and it makes LIBERAL use of that system for better or worse. although it is pretty much all front loaded aside from one section near endgame which honestly wasnt too bad. However.......they kind of tweaked the stats a bit apparently. and this is where FF3 kind of falls apart for me. The endgame dungeon. The Crystal Tower is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ SLOOOOOOOOG. well only kind of. So heres the thing, the games overall dungeon design and encounter rate isnt bad at all, but the Crystal Tower will test your patience and mental fortitude with how hard some of these guys hit and how long it is. Thats not all though, because after the crystal tower is the World…

“Light and darkness... one cannot exist without the other.” Four Warriors. Two forces. One legend.

Fun! Intro to the job system in this one. Not the most coherent plot-wise or the most character heavy entry, but a fun romp! Being able to change jobs on a whim is peak.

You can summarize this game in one word: Peak
