The difference, however, is that you have time to meet with and enjoy Aerith as a character before her untimely passing.
Yes, it would appear that Square Enix would go on to reuse its most emotional scene in Final Fantasy VII from this game. Now, when you think of an altar deep in a cave where a member in your party goes to pray, only for an enemy to swoop down and deliver a fatal blow, which Final Fantasy comes to mind? I hope you said Final Fantasy III, because that’s the big winner! Within five minutes, you reach your destination with her in tow. Then I never talked to the prince again until the end of the game!Īnother point to accentuate the “gone in 60 seconds” attitude the game has is a spoiler, so I warn you again, SKIP PAST THE NEXT PICTURE TO AVOID SPOILERS! When you first reach the surface world, you have to do a segment where you must return the flow of time to the world, which is frozen To do this, you must wake a girl named Aria and go with her to activate the Water Crystal. I’m not joking when I say that I ended a civil war and reinstated a prince to his throne in 20 minutes. This is some strange mishmash where it tries to get you to care about characters whose plotlines are wrapped up in a matter of half an hour, start to finish. So, with all that out of the way, I’m sorry to report that Final Fantasy III should have stuck to the barebones story of the original. Despite having three extra continents, you end up with roughly the same number of areas as the floating continent you come from. It turns out that the big open world you see halfway through the game is extremely empty. That’s right, the area you’re on for the first half is just a single part to a much larger world!ĭon’t get too excited, though. Imagine my surprise then, when after you acquire the power of the Fire Crystal (the second in the game), you manage to find your way off the floating continent. There’s a minor one about halfway through the game, so IF YOU DON’T WISH TO BE SPOILED, SKIP PAST THE PICTURE TO THE NEXT PARAGRAPH! When I first played the game, I thought the game world was incredibly small.
Over 20 hours! That’s kinda ridiculous if you ask me!Īnyway, unlike either Final Fantasy before it, Final Fantasy III doesn’t really have any crazy twists in the plot. So over the course of this game, you get no less than four airships.
#Final fantasy iii free
Free heals and several item and weapon shops is nice, but at some points you have to switch out the two airships several times, and it’s very annoying to say the least. After that, you get another airship which can fly over certain mountains and is a floating shop and inn, basically. Then, you ruin that ship and get a new ship that goes really fast and can dive underwater like a submarine.
#Final fantasy iii upgrade
In the course of about 20 hours, you get an airship, crash it and destroy it, acquire a regular ship for water, then upgrade that ship to fly and float on water. Granted, I know what probably caused this long playtime, but we’ll get to that in a bit… However, in a weird way, you can tell how strange the story’s speed sounds via your ship upgrades. It feels like everything in this game flies by at the speed of light! I was stunned to see my playtime was longer than either previous Final Fantasy because of how quickly the story worked itself out. Chapter 21 - Leviathan and Bahamut make a guest appearance.That just doesn’t happen, to put it bluntly.Chapter 18 - Ancient Ruins, splitting enemies ohgod.Chapter 16 - Sidequests and item collecting!.Chapter 14 - Everything you wanted to know about Garuda and The Final Countdown.Chapter 13 - THEY FUCKING SHOT DOWN MY AIRSHIP.Chapter 12 - The Sewers and Goldor's Mansion.Chapter 11 - The New World and Ice Cave.Chapter 8 - The Tower of Owen and Underground Lake.Chapter 7 - Nepto Shrine and Chocobo running.Chapter 3 - The fire cave, retardedly done in Japanese.Chapter 2 - To the beginning of the Fire Cave.Chapter 1 - Selecting classes and the First Dungeon.With that said, I think it's time everyone saw what the original was like, and what exactly changed between the two versions. Thankfully the DS version held true to the original. I had goons messaging me asking for help, which I gladly provided for the DS version. Will I rip it apart if I get hit with jRPG stereotypes? Probably.Īnyways, Final Fantasy III took forever to get to America. It's also the best NES Final Fantasy, but then again - it's a Japanese RPG. It's about time I do a Final Fantasy thread, I mean, my name is a Final Fantasy reference in it, for God's sake. You've probably seen a few of my Let's Plays, from Seiken Densetsu, to Zelda 2, LOTR, and Mega Man X2.
