Amazing. Even though with load times, I can handle it, PSP trained me enough on portable loading.

The remixed battle music sounds very nice.

I hope the gameplay is tuned up properly. Can't get a major sense just from that video, but it looks okay. I'm gonna miss ATB

Anyone know if that area is like...the beginning of the game?

The loadtimes are short (less than 2 sec), a way better than the 5 sec loadtimes of the last E3 Demo. The animations looks great too (the way the giant turtle moved was awesome) and the caracters/monsters modeling are nicely detailed, in other words, this game looks great! But as usual with the DS games, the textures sucks :\

Looks boring. Then again, it's a remake of one of the worst FF's.

All this time making such a great graphics engine for the DS and weapons don't even contact upon being attacked.

ah, doesn't matter. i'm more interested to see if they made enough fundamental changes so that the game doesn't suck. It'd be nice to finally get FFIII proper in English if they improved it enough. FFIII is one of the worst FF games because of all the issues it has, so it definitely needs a remake more than any other version.

The battles are boring with only one character, but the cinematic sequence at the end that shows some clever Dual-screen use is exciting, and I know when there's a full party the battles will pick up, too. Should be a damn good time -- my DS lite awaits it eagerly!

What's this about a delay, though?

Looks like ps1 game...loading times included. :P Really, those are some slow-paced battles. Should've learned a thing or two from FFX. I like how it takes a second for your character to react after you've made a choice.

FFX battle system is at least fast, efficient and beautiful to look at.

FFIII didn't even have that.

You're incorrect that it looks boring, and you're incorrect that FFIII was awful, and you're incorrect about it being even remotely consequential that the hits aren't shown (which is being done deliberately).

I don't play them for the story but FFIII didn't have that great gameplay in the first place. FFX does, due to the sphere grid, weapon/armor customization, CTB, and enemy types being weak to various weapon types. This made FFX an extremely addicting game. A great story added on made it better.

Gameplay is the important thing here, but story can absolutely enhance a game. In that way, FFX trumps FFIII in spades.

2nd best FF. Most underrated main series FF.

Dude, it does look boring - but it's because there's one character in the party doing "attack" again and again. Chillax.

Sphere Grid was the worst idea ever. The job system trumps that anyday. I guess if you want to look at the battles FFX is more fun. :\

How is sphere grid bad at all? It basically IS the job system. It doesn't force you to continously upgrade your characters. What's great about S.G. is that your charcters are totally up to you...if you want them to be. I don't see the harm in that at all.

FFX was also built upon the ideas that FFIII brought into the series. FFIII created the job system, the most important thing brought to the series (aside from its creation)... and V, Tactics, X, X-2... all owe a huge debt to it because of that. Yeah, for an NES RPG, FFIII had fantastic gameplay.

Here we agree completely. The Sphere Grid was a fantastic system for character progression -- it set basically predefined paths for those who wanted distinctive characters, but also allowed for a huge degree of flexibility so that more hardcore players could branch out and create more individualized characters. And comining RPG character progression with the basic gameplay ideas of an addictive board game (move two spaces forward! you get a reward!) was ****ing brilliant.

Sphere Grid was hardly a good idea. Actually the battle system/dress grid was the one thing I liked about FFX-2 a lot more then FFX.

Just because the game created the job system doesn't mean it's necessarily a good game.

Just because FFV enhanced the job system doesn't mean it's a good game either. In fact, it's boring.

FFT, FFX-2, FFX is the job system done right.

Yeah, it sounds neat.

It's the very beginning of the game in the Famicom version of the game (very start, first area, first boss). Except instead of all 4 party members it's just one for some reason. I can make a comparison video if anybody wants (and to compare the music).

theoretically yes, but in actuality...no.
im sure the SG was designed with that in mind, but just the way the game panned out...never took advantage of it...until much later into the game, and by that time, your characters are already over powered, yet another purpose defeated.
