Did anyone else pick it up today? Yes, the stunning Nintendo DS remake of the original Final Fantasy III has been released today, and needless to say, this will take up all of my free time. My heartfelt apologies to FFXII.

To those of you who have a Nintendo DS and haven't emulated the original (which was never available outside of Japan except for fan translation until now), I urge you to go and pick this up. It was a magnificent game for its time, and it still is today. For those of you living in PAL territories, at least import this or something less you have to deal with a nervewracking PAL release date.

I plan on getting it after i beat FFXII for the same reason, it will take up all of my time, and i really want to beat FFXII before i get addicted to a different game, or I may never finish it. I played the original and it was alright, but i wasnt a HUGE fan of it, but i know this one will take me, it looks awesome!! And the GFX on it look insane!!! Can't wait to get it!

Looks like I will have to buy a DS then. Oh well another machine I will have to buy just so I can play another final fantasy game.

Being in a pal territory sucks we always get everything last.

Um...I'm afraid I don't understand. xD Do you mean that your store doesn't carry alot of DS games? Or that people near you don't have many DSs? :confused:

Wow Zero! You have a heartfelt seriousness for it eh?

Hmmm...well I just may have to pick it up. Not right away thought. As other's have said, I need to finish XII and DQVIII before being an addict to another title. :D

I'm in the final dungeon. :)

For the Giant Rat, use all the spell items at your disposal (all the Antarctic Winds, unless you used them already). I trained three of my people as Red Mages until about level 15 or so (not like that's necessary, you don't have to level up at all) so they could all have one shot of a level three spell (the Fira, Blizzara, and Thundara spells you find in the viking's cave), and then I fried him with my lower level spells until he died. If you get lucky, Desch may help out with Thundara, which also deals alot of damage.

Well, the game doesn't require the WiFi feature if that's what you're suggesting. It's still a great game even if you don't unlock the bonus stuff.

I would probably stock up on equipment in the shops in Ur. You should also have a copy of the Cure spell for two people. Remember, there's alot of hidden equipment that can be found. You can go back to the Altar Cave and find treasure there, as well as the storage shed in Ur, and the towers in Castle Sasune. You can also find a Wight Slayer sword (effective against the undead) in the west tower, though you'll have to fight a somewhat powerful monster there. And if all else fails, level up. Levels 6-7 should be fine for the Sealed Cave. Also, with the Gil you find in chests and around, buy plenty of Potions to use on the enemies of the Sealed Cave, which are mostly undead. And remember to save your Phoenix Downs for the boss. I think that's about it.
