Final Fantasy III (Nintendo DS, 2006)

Final Fantasy III was, until now, the only game in the franchise not released in the U.S. The graphics were completely overhauled to utilize the graphic abilities of the Nintendo DS. Square did a wonderful job remaking this game for the handheld DS.

The game itself is not as character driven as some of the later FF games, but is very well written. The job class system creates a lot of party configuration possiblities once you earn them. In the beginning you only have one possible class, but as you advance through the game you get more. There are only a few sidequests available, that can only be accessed if you send/recieve mail to/from the denizens of FFIII.

The battle system is typical. Turn-based, random battles.

Overall, this is a great RPG. I recommend this one to any FF fans and anyone seeking a good RPG. This is the first great RPG for this system. Could this be a turning-point for the DS?
