I think the 3D remake tarnished the game's legacy in the west. Even the OST was bungled. The Pixel Remaster of III surprised me how much I enjoyed it. I despise the 3D remake and for the longest time I thought Japan had rose colored glasses about the game.
FF3 enjoyers rise up! This is my go to for a simple RPG to play, honestly my favorite in the series tied with FFX. It's simple, but fun to do runs trying new jobs and strats. Also not too long so replaying isn't a drag. I'm personally a bigger fan or the 3-D remake since I like the models and that there's a super boss, but the pixel remasters were still great! Also, to organize items you just pause, hit 'Items' then in the top right it says 'Sort'...
It might have been a bug in my version in the game, because the sort button wasn't there 😭 But YEAH! This is definitely an underrated title and the overall length of the game with how much they were able to pack in here made it really worth my time. Great game! I'll likely play the 3D remake of IV
The sorting of items is definitely not intuitive. You can do it with the Sort button in the PSP version but it's still not great. I will say I had crazy fun with the Geomancer job and used that to finish the game.
Final Fantasy III is the most important Final Fantasy and it’s a shame that people in the west downplay that because they didn’t get the pure experience until recently, calling it generic. It along with Dragon Quest III and Dragon Quest IV cemented that the RPG wasn’t a passing fad and was here to stay in Japan. Sure there was Megami Tensei II and Sweet Home, but this game is a big reason why the JRPG is so prolific and ubiquitous in the 90s and beyond. It is Final Fantasy 1.0 and the first true Final Fantasy game.
final fantasy 3 is not important you can skip it entirely lol job system already existed and ff1 better story like bro ff 3 to me ain't a final fantasy not a good story trash job ff5 also a better story etc and ff5 was amazing like if we talking top ff's almost every ff has a better story ff3 has the worst job system ff1 ff5 ff tactics series etc i could go on it's just not good and most people know 5 is the best job system lol
@@AndrewTatIan okay, but that doesn’t change the fact that without this game, we wouldn’t have the franchise. It’s the reason why it continued into the 16 bit era. It is what made the franchise as big as it was. If it was not successful, we probably wouldn’t get FF1 in America. Sorry you don’t like it, but frankly whether you like it or not has nothing to do with whether it is important or not.
@@thomasffrench3639 factually untrue coulda been an entire diff game as ff3 to say this trash game continued is just fucking false bro shhhhh it's not even close to the best the only thing ff3 did was show job system trash and we did not need it to be bad lol ff3 as a game coulda been good just because a game exists doesn't mean it made the series last honestly it could've broken it objectively ff3 sucks most people say 7 10 tactics 12 etc i rarely ever see 3 be a fav the series would've easily carried on and even then what is your whole point your whole point is just wrong period final fantasy been falling off 13 yet we on ff 16 right now ff7 remake ff9 stuff clearly we didn't need ff3 bro but hey i live in reality lol you can belive bs
I’d say FF3 still holds a place in the Final Fantasy catalogue! 3 was where the series really took off in Japan and for that alone I think it’s got historical significant, but also it’s just a very solid RPG and introduced the job system! (Albeit with some clumsiness) I still think 3 is a very respectable title and has its moments, even if it’s not my favorite! As long as people don’t play the 3D version because WOW that one is a different beast entirely, and not in a good way
I definitely had a better time this go around with the game! Especially since I've played almost every game after this one. There's a ton of respect that we all owe to FF3. I'm really excited to play 5 and see just how much it improves over 3!
FF1 had a system in place where you could pick from a few jobs at the beginning of the game, but that's very different from what is classified as "The Job System". FF3, FF5, and the Bravely Default games use "The Job System". When people say "Job System", this what almost everyone thinks of and references. FF1 introduced choosing jobs to start your adventure, but FF3 objectively created "The Job System" as we know it today
@@overleveledgames i mean lets argue over fax you admit ff1 started job system without ff 1 does ff3 matter no lol and ff1 job system is better ff3 jobs are meaningless so many of the same thing lol diff mage classes raising job levels etc just a bad system every other ff job system each job had a purpose even ff5 basic thing like knight and samurai both were physical one protected one did damage each job did stuff if anything ff1 started the job system ff3 showed what was terrible with it and five perfected it but the problem is you have playtesters ff3s job system never had to exist in the first place even in the remakes it's still bad jobs don't have a purpose you can switch freely but essentially what's purpose of evokers white mage black mage etc when you can just go sage oh right sage is locked all the good stuff is locked so we have trash jobs till late game in ff 5 i can be knight monk two mages allll game and still be fine lol but nooo in 3 you'd be trolling if you did that personally for me 3 is a bottom tier ff bad story no characters just nothing and the job system is the worst in the series objectively ff1 had fewer jobs had purpose ff5 had more jobs each one unique ff tactics was amazing i could go on
I've been convinced to try out the pixel remaster of this game. Looks gorgeous. I had NO IDEA about the FF3 manga. They look so goooood. Can't wait for you to review PEAK FICTION next.
I'm definitely pumped for Final Fantasy IV! I think the next FF game I review, though, will be The Final Fantasy Legend 2. Possibly the DS fan translated remake
5:30 Crazy Chocobo in Final Fantasy XIII-2,Eternity from Blue Dragon,What? from Final Fantasy V,Chocobo Theme Final Fantasy II,Battle 2 Final Fantasy IX,Emerald Labyrinth from Final Fantasy XIV,March of the Moogles from Final Fantasy XIV and The One Ruling Everything from The Last Story.
I've only played the mobile port of the 3D remake... and I kind of hated it. A big part of it was because I was playing on mobile and it felt awful to play, but that and the other quality of life improvements of the pixel remaster might make me want to try it again at some point. Story is super important to me, though, so that alone makes me not super excited to come back to this one.
If anything I think Final Fantasy III is worth checking out if you want to see where MANY future titles get their influences. Like I mention with the Enterprise appearing in FFIII and FFXVI, there's actually a ton here that kicked off a lot of trends. Think of it like a history lesson, haha
@@overleveledgames Yeah, definitely - and I did get at least most of the story with what I played through. I stopped before the final dungeon because I was just tired of dealing with the game. But I've been playing FF games since I got FFVI in 1994, and have tried to get my hands on every SNES, PS1, and PS2 JRPG since getting hooked on them then. I'm pretty set on the history overall, haha.
@@ILoveThisBlank Sick! Yeah, if you ever decide to give III another go, the console version of the PR is the way to go. It'll absolutely make that final dungeon at LEAST manageable
@@thomasffrench3639 Me? I like RPGs best, and turn-based, menu style is my favorite subsection of that, but I'll play a little bit of almost everything. But I'm actually a bad gamer, so I'm not great at action games.
I think that it having blank slates makes more sense in this game is about customization and being vessels for the characters work better. I think that if they had it could very easy lead to ludonarrative dissonance with such limited technology and space. I don’t really get when people complain that NES games don’t have deep characters, or just RPGs in general.
@@overleveledgames sure, but balancing that and customization is hard in this situation and would likely lead to ludonarrative dissonance with different jobs and limited hardware. Being blank slates actually fits the themes of the story as the jobs represent growing up from kids to adulthood and the fact that jobs are easily changeable doesn’t fit with well defined characters. And Guy speak beaver is not deep character writing. The only thing notable about the main cast of FFII was the fact they had names. The only thing that FFII had over FFIII from a story perspective was the side cast. I honestly prefer having customizable blank slates over boring characters any day. I don’t know what everyone’s obsession with RPGs having a deep story. They are just like any other game genre, some are story driven and others aren’t. Not having an excellent story doesn’t make it automatically worse.
@@overleveledgames i'd argue ff2 was simple characters well guests ok guests were a bit deep i can give you that o.o but the main ones i would say ff6 had the first real deep characters you know and then it was 7 8 9 etc fun times
Right, I'm not saying every character was deep. And I definitely didn't say Guy was a deep character lol. There were moments in FF2 that made it stand out as an NES title with decent characters, weather they be main or side characters. FF3 had some good character moments as well! Fighting Unei and Doga, the prince assassination attempt, Desch's sacrifice, I think these were all solid moments. The lack of character in the main characters is what brings the central plot as a whole down in my mind though. But I'm not complaining about this, because they're use as vessels to explore the world and encounter these cool side characters is enough for me! Me pointing out that the main characters have no character depth in exchange for building up the world and side characters isn't inherently a negative, it's just a reality of the game

Since you like this, you will really like V. It expands on III and fixes some elements. I personally prefer how Jobs work in V than III.

coulda been an entire diff game as ff3
to say this trash game continued
is just fucking false bro shhhhh
it's not even close to the best
the only thing ff3 did was
show job system trash
and we did not need it to be bad lol
ff3 as a game coulda been good
just because a game exists
doesn't mean it made the series last
honestly it could've broken it
objectively ff3 sucks
most people say 7 10 tactics 12 etc
i rarely ever see 3 be a fav
the series would've easily carried on
and even then what is your whole point
your whole point is just wrong period
final fantasy been falling off 13
yet we on ff 16 right now
ff7 remake ff9 stuff
clearly we didn't need ff3 bro but hey

and ff1 job system is better
ff3 jobs are meaningless so many
of the same thing lol
diff mage classes raising job levels etc
just a bad system every other ff job system
each job had a purpose even ff5
basic thing like knight and samurai
both were physical one protected
one did damage
each job did stuff
if anything ff1 started the job system
ff3 showed what was terrible with it
and five perfected it but the problem is
you have playtesters ff3s job system
never had to exist in the first place
even in the remakes it's still bad
jobs don't have a purpose
you can switch freely but essentially
what's purpose of evokers white mage
black mage etc when you can just go sage
oh right sage is locked all the good stuff
is locked so we have trash jobs till late game
in ff 5 i can be knight monk two mages
allll game and still be fine lol but nooo
in 3 you'd be trolling if you did that
personally for me 3 is a bottom tier ff
bad story no characters just nothing
and the job system is the worst in the series
objectively ff1 had fewer jobs had purpose
ff5 had more jobs each one unique
ff tactics was amazing
