One of the best in the series. The job system makes the game extremely replayable, and is endlessly fun to tinker with. The game has great balancing, and is one of the best in the series from a gameplay standpoint. The story, while not as impactful as other heavy hitters in the series, is far from bad and does not detract from what is one of the most fun RPG's you could play to this day.

A stellar version of one of the RPG's that got me invested in the genre at an early age. There are definite criticisms to be had for this game, such as the plot being a little silly and thin, and the gameplay being very easy for most of the game, but the overall experience is still one I cherish and enjoy.

A highly appreciated remaster of the original 2D Final Fantasy III, as I found myself not enjoying the 3D remake that much. The soundtrack here starts to reveal Uematsu's sheer talent and style that he refines more and more in every future title, and the gameplay in this version is generally just a good time. RPG comfort food.

A version with a great soundtrack and great visuals, although some tweaking of the UI may be needed for some, referring specifically to the font being unpleasant to read. Missing extra content introduced in other re-releases, but that being a deal breaker heavily depends on the person. For me, it's not that much of a problem.

While there are aspects that drew me in, such as the overall more somber atmosphere and the soundtrack, this is a generally flawed game. It isn't completely unplayable, but excluding the more patient and die-hard RPG fans, I think most people will have a hard time finding the motivation to finish this one.

Even though the slightly overhauled visuals may not appeal to everyone, this is still a great way to experience this game.

A decent way to experience two classic RPG's.
