    Before we talk about Final Fantasy III, though, I should point out that Square's first RPG to sell over a million copies was actually the first SaGa game for the Game Boy (later localized as "Final Fantasy Legend"). Kind of ironic considering SaGa is much less popular today.

    FINAL FANTASY III Despite being a fan for 25 years I first played this one in 2021 with the Pixel Remaster. My feelings are similar to that of FFI: short and sweet and surprisingly good (relatively speaking). This game introduces the iconic job system, which would later be bettered in FFV.

    Like the first two games, Final Fantasy III delivers a solid 8-bit era JRPG experience. The pixel art is great, the locations are interesting, and the soundtrack is amazing. The story is simple and very similar to the previous games, though it does introduce a few new mechanics. I was glad to see the progression system from FF2 gone in favor of traditional hero levels and job levels. That said, I found the job system to be almost a nonfactor during my playthrough. Once I unlocked the Black…

    I just finished Final Fantasy III, and it was an incredible journey. This game is the foundation of the series' famous Job System, and it’s still as addictive as ever. The Pixel Remaster version is stunning—the rearranged soundtrack is a masterpiece, and the pixel art is vibrant and full of life. It’s a challenging but fair adventure that every JRPG fan should experience. Highly recommended!

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…
