FINAL FANTASY III NDS

For those of you who don't keep track of the Final Fantasy series, this is not the same game that was released as Final Fantasy III for the Super NES in the mid-90's. Several FF games were never released in the U.S. and the numbering system was changed to keep their releases sequential. This is the *actual* FFIII that was released in Japan, but not in America. Why wasn't it released in the U.S. previously? That's a good question as this is easily one of the best RPG's of all time. The graphics have been updated in order to take advantage of the DS's capabilities and look fantastic. As you would expect of a Final Fantasy game, the story and gameplay are top-notch. This was the first time the job system was employed in which each of your party members can be assigned specific jobs that will determine what areas of magic and combat they are particularly gifted in. At any point you can change a character's job, but there will be a short period while they have to level up in order to keep up their usefulness to the group. If you are a fan of the Final Fantasy series for RPG's in general, get this game. If you are curious about trying out RPG's, this is a good one to start with, but cheaper games can be found to get you started.
