Is that an FFIII in your pocket or...

Are you just happy to see me?

No, of course you're not. It's because FFIII comes out in a week (Nov. 14th) for the DS and it will be full of win and awesome. Also it makes three Final Fantasy threads on the frontpage, which is either a point for Square or a massive leak of mental retardation that knows no definition. Either way!

Hi, I'm Final Fantasy III! You might remember me from the Nintendo Entertainment System, or to be more accurate, the Nintendo Famicom. I lived a horrible life. I was conceived as an expansion of the job system by my Japanese overlords, but never escaped to America. Two years ago, they put me on a table and stuck scalpel after scalpel in to me, telling me I was going to be remade for the DS. After years of work, and some rough around the edges pictures released for the autopsy report (IGN), I have been reborn.

Touch me!

If you want, I can be controlled entirely with the touchscreen. If not, you can use buttons and whatnot exclusively, too.

The story of my life!

Not only are my looks improved, but my autobiography has gotten a complete overhaul. The same basic concept is there, four kids saving the universe, but with new twists and turns! And every story has characters.

The Soundtrack of my Life

While most of my original music was 8-bit midis, everything has been recreated by Uncle Uematsu for the remake! There are samples on my website!

Oh, oh, that reminds me. If you want to see some home movies I made, here's my trailer.

Hope to see you all on November 14th!

This concept sounded so much better in my head.

    Great Opening Post. I was distracted by everything else going on (Wii,PS3, etc) that I completely forgot about this. The images look great and I'm excited about finally playing this game. :^:

    For all intents and purposes, this is a new entry in the regular Final Fantasy series. And there's no way I'm gonna be done with XII by the time this comes out.

    Gameplay Video 1 (beginner stuff)

    Gameplay Video 2 (boats, airships, and chocobos)

    Showing the Touch-Screen controls (sexy)


    What I want to know is if there's any quirks to this game. Anything unique about the battle system, the way XP is gained, the magic system, mini-games, a riveting storyline, anything? Or is it pretty straight-forward?

    EDIT: Okay, so there is a job system. Neat.

    It contains the original Job system. Any of your characters can become (almost) any Job.

    No, it's the same, you're thinking of

    Whatever the hell happens on the 2nd screen? Is it left blank? Would be the first game to leave a 2nd screen blank, although I do understand the 3d graphics are quite processor intensive.

    Normally I'd wait till the price drops for every new game release but I am so fucking getting this on launch.

    I remember reading that the 2nd screen is mostly ignored so that the 3D graphics can harness the power of dual processors.

    I really love the music on the official website.

    I am the biggest FF3 whore in the world. It's one of my favorite games in the series, not really for the story but just the elegant simplicity of it all - it was really solid after the awkwardness of the first two FFs. It is a bit similar to FF4 in execution, that's probably the best FF to compare it to, unless you're focusing on jobs and then I'd compare it to FF5.

    It lacks the detailed customization of FF5 and Tactics but it's still a lot of fun. Plus, vikings!
