its so funny playing this after FF2 which is genuinely unpleasant to play and experience, and just have this intense quality of life improvement in its gameplay. the leveling system is classic and good, and the job levels in this game is also a fun mechanic. job levels arent too grindy and its very conceivable you'll get at least one to max with just playing the game and not switching classes too much!
about two years ago i finished FF3's 3d variant on steam, based on the DS port. i wasn't so hot on it, maybe bc on a big screen its very ugly, and the actual characters/plot of FF3 arent great! i think the pixel remaster was a wonderful way to experience this because graphically, the pixel remasters are excellent! and aside from the NES version, theres no other pixelated version of this game, unlike the rest of the PR games. all the different job sprites are so charming and wonderful! the problem with FF3 is, as i said, its lacking characters and plot, and mainly that the job system does not actually really compliment the multi-job system. in that there are sections of the game that are designed to be tackled by specific jobs, like the Cave of Nepto being an all mage section or the Cave of Shadows requiring dark knights (who also kind of fall off from this point). don't get me wrong it's not terrible but it does make it feel like some classes simply arent viable. but its fine! i still just enjoyed this game the whole way through, and the dungeons are SO much better than the previous two games! good job FF3 :)
