[α╬ Finalage ╬Ω]

For those of you who want to read it, I already have a review of this game listed, it is here, for reference. Okay? Here: http://www.dgemu.com...-0681----1.htmlDon't submit this to the reviews database! It will confuse people to see two reviews by me in the same place! Final Fantasy III (DS)Role Playing Game.Premise: (4/10)Gameplay: (7/10)Visual: (8/10)Audio: (5/10)Appeal:(7/10)Overall (6.2/10)In depth review:Premise: (4/10)A remake of another, older version of this game for Game Boy Advance, this game fails to utilize the seemingly grand abilities of the Square Enix staff. Woefully full of holes, this game drabbles through it's length, relying upon a faithful fan base to wait for the punch to be throw, yet, when it comes, it is a weak display at best. The character profiles are literally a line to a line and a half each, and don't come near to doing any one of them justice. The game has the feel of a bucket with no bottom, and may leave people breathless not with awe but with anticipation, for they are waiting for the game to show something worth chasing after. What am I supposed to do now? Is the sad question of the day for most of this game. When the actual action comes...hey, the games already nearly over! Yet, the extras and little side perks will keep you entertained for a bit...I don't like that I can't locate a sound test in this game though. Grrr....Gameplay: (7/10)Oiii, oi. While innovative in it's own way, the gameplay here is very uneven. While being able to use the touch screen to select opponents and attack them with, the system is tedious to use, and I find myself sticking to the buttons to get the job done. The monsters are more cruel that in Game Boy counterparts of Final Fantasy, for if you revive a character, the monster can still attack that character in the same turn, instead of having to lock unto it in the next. In the beginning, the game is easy, you can defeat most bosses with characters in the teen levels, but once you reach Gukko near the fire crystal, that happy time ends. Defeat him with characters in the teens and the next boss will destroy you. Utterly. You need to be nearer to the higher twenties, sometimes thirty, to get past. (Scholar, while helpful, is not needed.) Besides this, there are tons of little details that irk me, yet, the system is a classic speed-moves first, turn based format.Visual: (8/10)Typical expansion and elaboration to take into account a DS's visual capabilities. Watch the intro at least once, that is, by far, the most impressive show the game will give you. The credits are disappointing..it's nothing but a spliced version of the intro...The bosses look nice though, although I don't like how some of them seem to be lying down on a bed of air. They are bent way to far back to be simply floating properly, what happened to proper posture people?Audio: (5/10)While some tracks are intriguing in their own way, they are too few in number and played for far to long and far to many times. At least put a variety of different battle tracks in! You're killing me here! I will admit I like the forbidden land, Eureka's theme however, just a tad. Square Enix, what happened to your grand spunk in creating tracks for your games? You musicians on strike of somemat?Appeal:(7/10)As a Final Fantasy game, this will naturally have a fanbase that made this game originally fly off the shelves. (I should know, I had to wait three years after it came out to secure a copy of my own, I just got it recently.) Yet, once played, it fails to muster up to it's hype. Dedicated Final Fantasy fans should give it a shot, but don't expect to much. Overall (6.2/10)Give it a shot if you dare. If you are bored, it will keep you entertained, marginally, for a while, at least it will keep you busy. Training your characters may be tedious, but don't you love being able to take down the final boss in the end of a game? I know I simply can't shake the feeling, the invincibility of it. You just defeated the one thing that had power to destroy the world, that is a mood booster, real or fake. The simple one line..The one line tie:A Final Fantasy remake that makes a great first and last, impression. (Intro, final story bits.)
