This is FF3, not FF6. This is the DS remake of the original Famicom game that has never been commercially released outside of Japan/Asia. This is not the game with Mog and Kefka!
(thanks Mr Fi)

There's some movies and pictures floating around, and as of this post they either still work, or I grabbed them and am hosting.
Here's a movie from the DS version at the beginning of the game:

There's a 'Mognet' type communication system that lets you leave messages with some NPC's and other people playing the game. This is required to unlock some bonus content.

Now that I'm definitely getting the game for my birthday (still not sure about that DS), and Amir0x said go ahead, let's make this the official topic for the DS version of FF3. Since the release dates are pretty close, I don't really see why the US and PAL versions can't also be discussed here in one topic.
Not many people have played this game in the series, so it should be an interesting topic to see players go through it for the first time. I'm hoping to get the game around the 25th, so maybe duckroll and some others will get it first. If there is new news, pictures, whatever, just post them in here.
Let's have some fun with the game! Thanks for all the help digging stuff up, Error2k4.
