Yeah, as of now it's the only one we never got in the US. And its a pretty good game, if not unbalanced and completely hindered by the technology it was developed for. If they balance it and keep the challenge going strong, this could be the best FF since 5.Smiles and Cries said:so wait this never came out in the US?
cool
Y2Kevbug11 said:I want a firm answer on how long we will have to wait! The Japanese date has been set for a while, but the American one was September 12...and now is kinda floating...
Thanks, Scarlet, for making the thread! I was hoping somebody would.
omg rite said:It's November in the U.S.
Heh, he's probably following Ebgames.Red Scarlet said:Where's that been said? IGN has 9/12, and the US site says 9/2006.
Amir0x said:If it's anything like the original FF3, it's not that long AND it's pretty linear.
Ooh, that'd be a fun thing to do prior to the game hitting. I have the cart but no NES/Fami though.john tv said:Got the Famicom version primed and ready on my PSP here. I think I'll give myself a little refresher before the DS version launches. Can't wait!
Error2k4 said:I really hope is not november. I find it weird that SE site still has ff3 for a September release, no day given yet tho.
the OST samples are soooo nice, I can't wait for this game.
Final Fantasy III Pushed Back?

According to Gamestop/EBGames the release for Final Fantasy III has been pushed back from September 19 to October 03. While unconfirmed, the release date move will undoubtedly make both Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest fans a bit less tense, since Rocket Slime has been rumored to be released on September 19. Concerns of skewed advertising by those believing Squenix will concentrate on its FF title much more than its DQ title may be partially solved.
Dragon Quest fans: Rejoice!
Final Fantasy fans: Stop your complaining, and go watch your Advent Children.
Sallokin said:Soundtrack samples really take me back. I'm really interested in hearing all the newly added tracks.
Here's where I heard about the date change. It was on slimeknights.com
Not sure how reliable that info is though considering they cite Gamestop as a reference.
Kroole said:It seems logical though.
Pastry said:I would think they would push the Dragon Quest game back a bit because FFIII is the bigger title. But a two weekish delay isn't too bad assuming that is true (I'm still waiting on official word though).
Original soundtrack to the NINTENDO-DS game "FINAL FANTASY III." Includes DS version of the original Famicon tracks and new tracks b y Nobuo Uematsu. Also includes a track with rock arranged, and a track with techno arrangement by the mysterious group muZik. Comes with a DVD with the opening movie (featuring 5.channel surround sound) of the new games added for the NINTENDIO-DS game.
Red Scarlet said:Oh, it's the same guy that did FF1 and 2 on the PS1 that's redoing 3's soundtrack? Neat. I really, really liked 1 and 2's music on the PS1.

Freelancer
What you start off as. You can yield any weapon and also make use of White/Black Magic although the overall effectiveness is very low.
Warrior
With a high amount of HP and defence, the Warrior has a skill to boost his/her attack temporary at the expense of lower defence. The Warrior cant use any magic.
Thief
As some of you may have guessed, the Thief can Steal items from the enemy and has the ability to Flee allowing you to have a higher chance of escaping from battles.

Dark Knight
Wears dark armour and makes use of dark, negative energy. Just like the Knight, the Dark Knight has high attack power and his strength really shows when equipped with a Dark Sword. Using Darkness he can attack multiple enemies at the expense of his own HP.
Devout
A job that can make use of the strongest White Magic spells. With a large amount of MP, the Devout can cast high level White Magic many times. Cute kitty ears, no?
Monk
Skilled in close combat arts, the Monk can attack at high speed with bare hands. He cant make use of magic and the equipment he can make use of is limited. With Counter, the Monk can counterattack the enemy when hit by physical attacks.
White Mage

Red Mage
With skills that are in between the Black Mage and White Mage, the Red Mage has average attack power and can yield several types of weapons. The Red Mage cant make use of high level White/Black Magic spells.
Bard
Fights enemies by playing a harp. Making use of the Sing ability, the Bard has many songs that provide various effects. He acts as a support for the party and can also attack the enemy. The effects of the songs change depending on the harp equipped.
Scholar
Holding a book in one hand, the Scholar is skilled highly in analysis. With his Check ability, he can find various stats about the enemy and their weak points. Apart from being able to make use of White Magic, being able to use items much more effectively than any other jobs is his strong point.
Summoner
Having more MP than the Evoker, the Summoner can summons many creatures that are either of the dark or light side. Each of them have different powerful attacks that can attack all enemies.
Sage
The Sage can use all summons, and Black/White magic. Although she has a fairly high amount of MP, she is still inferior to the Magus and Devout.
Knight
With a higher defence than the Warrior, the Knight can protect party members using the Guard ability, taking any damage inflicted upon his comrades. Can also make use of White Magic to heal himself and members.
Dragoon

As opposed to the Devout, the Magus is a master of Black Magic. He has a large amount of MP allowing him to make use of high level Black Magic spells many times. The Magus can also equip weapons of the hammer, dagger type variety.
Ninja
Out of all the jobs, the Ninja has the fastest attacks and has the highest average skill. When equipped with items such as Shurikens, the Ninja can make use of the Throw ability to inflict damage. This however, means he/she will lose his/her equipped weapon!

Only different thing seems to be that Fighter has been scuttled in favor of Dark Knight (the old pattern was Fighter->Knight(Warrior)->Paladin(Knight)
The big thing is there's no using of a skill from one job with another job. To switch jobs there is a cost in CP (gained like EXP in battle), though the longer you've been in a certain job the CP cost to switch to it later, or to switch to other related jobs, decreases.Aft Dread Pressure said:I've never played FF III. How is the job system different from FF V ?
Well imo I-VI(with an exception for the amazing IX) are the only decent ones to play so you are fine.polg said:I'm getting so hyped about this game... and I'm not a huge FF fan.
I've only played I,II and IV on GBA
