![]() ![]() As I mentioned earlier, the differences may seem pretty stark at first. From the introductory movie, to the various optional content – I was hooked. The modern version of Final Fantasy III is an amazing game, regardless of what system you play it on. If you’re hesitant to play either because they are technically remakes, don’t worry. There’s really only one big difference between the two versions of the game, and I’ll cover that in a bit. For the most part, the DS and PSP releases of the game are identical. Since I played the DS version a few years ago, I decided to give the PSP version a go this time around. However, an updated version has since been made available for iOS devices, and there’s also a downloadable version for PSP and Vita users. Initially, the North American version of Final Fantasy III was released on the Nintendo DS. The only oddity I found is the small change made to the job system by including Freelancer and hiding away the Onion Knight job (more on this later). Nothing is lost in the update, but so much more is gained. This might seem like blasphemy to a purist like me, but actually it is so well done, that I feel it is truly superior to the original release. These characters all have backgrounds that are interwoven into the main storyline itself. The re-release gives them all proper names and personalities. Originally, FFIII featured four generic, nameless characters. It also takes some liberties when it comes to the main characters in the game as well. The North American version features upgraded 3D graphics. But, it’s important to note, the US version of the game is very much a remake. Having played the game in its bootleg form years ago, I was delighted to finally get my hands on a legitimate copy. Until the US release, only unofficial hacked/translated ROMS of the 8-bit game were available. However, after years of fan petitions, Final Fantasy III was finally made available to western audiences. For years it seemed like North American players would never see a localized version of this title. ![]() This is another Final Fantasy game that was originally released in Japan only. Having completed Final Fantasy II, it is time to move on the next chapter, Final Fantasy III. ![]()
