FINAL FANTASY III Pixel Remaster

My next stop in my Final Fantasy journey took me to Final Fantasy III. FF3 was another step forward for me, as I feel like they FF3 continued to expand on the first two games and add more interesting features and elements to FF3. For starters, the job system in FF3 is a very nice addition to the game, I was not the biggest fan of the leveling system in FF2, so the change to the job system was a nice one for me. I really like how many different types and options of jobs there are, as this adds a bigger variety of gameplay options that will vary depending on a players preference of class/job. You are basically required to use certain jobs like white mage for survival and a thief to open locks, but overall it was a nice change. The music was also really nice for me. The first two Final Fantasy games had a more limited musical selection throughout the game, and in FF3 I felt like it had the best variety and quality of music in the NES pixel remasters, which can be expected as it is the sequels. The music is really good in Final Fantasy III. The overall world is interesting too, as I felt like the world and the fights were the best out of the OG trilogy. The multiple continents was something I was not expecting, and the story was decent overall, although I do have one problem with it. The issue I have is that the main cast of characters went back to placeholders like it was in the original Final Fantasy. I liked how in FF2 your party were actual characters, and while it was not the most in depth thing ever, I prefer that style alot more over FF1 and FF3. I was not a big fan of that. Overall, I do not have a ton to say about FF3 as I do feel it is a improvement of both the first and second Final Fantasy game. While I do prefer the storytelling style of FF2, basically everything else is better, as the job system, the music and the overall world design of the game feel like an enhancement. Playing the first three NES was more fun then I thought, as it was cool to see the roots of the Final Fantasy series, and with the pixel remakes, they were all a better experience then I would have thought. I would recommend FF3, as well as all the first 3 FF pixel remakes if you want to play a fun, simple turn based JRPG or just want to see the origins of the Final Fantasy series. For me, FF3 is the best game out of the first 3 Final Fantasy games. 7.5/10

The "Open World" map in FFIII is my favorite part, super creative for its time. Still enjoy FFII more, but this does feel like a more faithful sequel to the first Final Fantasy.

A great remaster, redone sprites and music. A very solid RPG experience
