Final Fantasy III (3D Remake) Reviews

Brings back memories

I remember playing this on the DS back in the day. I know this is the mobile version. Really enjoyed it! 7/10!

While this game might be great I can't recommend it due to 30fps limit, and the movements sometimes are stuck behind a delay. So those directions you pressed half a minute ago enjoy going there even if you don't want to anymore. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ After completing the story here are some additional thoughts, the movement speed in the over world is dreadful and slows the pace way down. Sometimes following the story gets complicated due to not 100% following the dialogue, not being able to save inside buildings is also annoying. But to combat that you can save scum bosses, by pressing ESC and quitting. It will place you outside the room you just were in. Story was alright would still not recommend due to technical limitations/choices make the game more annoying.

honestly, mainly just the 30 fps, you can tell its a 3ds game so easily as well just by looking at the backgrounds. and there being no quick save/ save function being weak like an old school game where you have to save manually. Ended up running around for an hour to accidentally die then have to completely start over. another thing, when playing pr you can skip a lot of the grind by just using some boosts and turning off encounters, once you get used to that its kind of hard to come back in comparison when its not even THAT good looking at all. i think i will revisit this after i beat the pixel remasters and 7-10 then give it a better shake, depending on when i get the rest of the series beat.

terrible battle mechanics, one shot you dead, no way to revive the dead without restarting game or maybe until the last part

Some people complain about the game being unfair for not letting you save file on dungeons or towns, but well, that is the mechanics of this one, you just get to save in the world map before going inside. Asides that, I think this one is probably one of the most enjoyable Final Fantasy games I have played, and I am only missing a couple from the main line. The story is very simple yet entertaining, and the characters remind me of Dungeons & Dragons, being so plain that you just almost feel it is you there instead of them. The job system is not the best on the franchise but it works well and the game doesn't require massive grinding, so I think it is a good options for a light RPG adventure. Neither the gameplay nor the story will make you sweat but you'll have a good time.

DO NOT CROSS-PLAY!! Cloud saving will erase your game. I just lost about 30 hours of gameplay after playing on my Steamdeck and then trying to play on PC. You can find posts online about the same problem and there seems to be no solution. You just lose your data.

its good, basic oldschool Final Fantasy. No bugs to report but im on windows 10.

Could not launch this game, no matter what I tried. Kept getting repeated errors about missing files, amongst other things. Reinstalled and "verified" with Steam tool multiple times, but still no luck. I have been told this isn't even the original 3D version that was on the DS. It's a subpar port, of the mobile version. The game was excellent on DS, so if you really want to enjoy it as intended, go find a physical copy.

FF3 is an amazing game. Don't play this version under any circumstance. This game has the most jank save system for some reason, you can save at any time on the world map, but when you're actually in a dungeon or where ever, you are unable to save at all. If you full quit the game, the game will make a quick save for you that you are able to load 1 time. What this means is say you are 2+ hours deep into a dungeon, you have no way to save unless you go all the way back and save on the world map. If you die in a fight, it's all the way back 2 hours. However if you full quit the game when you die, you will reload BEFORE the fight where you died. So if you die you better realise you need to full quit, if you just mash confirm or whatever and go back to the title screen you will have missed your chance and all that progress you made is GONE. [spoiler] I went through all of Crystal Tower + World of Darkness, which has no opportunities to save in the entire thing, and died to Cloud of Darkness, accidentally forgot to quit out and hit confirm without thinking, lost about 3 hours of progress.
