Final Fantasy 3

[Pseudopsia]

I beat it on steam. I enjoyed it.

It looks the same as the android version, however you can use a controller.

The FPS is locked at 30.

must be why. II was the most difficult ever, because if you didn't cheat, there was tons of hours of grind to be able to survive in the last bosses. Probably more grind than in etrian odyssey... (which has a LOT of grinding to get to max level)

i wouldnt say EO had tons of grinding(it did take ages to lvl up after hitting 45) just tons of unforgiving enemies. you were pretty much forced to get higher levels if you didnt get the materials to make things easier.

It's an old RPG, so prepare for some hard bosses that require strategies like turning everyone into your group into a Dragoon (you know who I'm talking about ) to make the battle easier. The game can be a little unforgiving on job changing, so I would recommend a little planning on what jobs you want your characters to have and stick to them and only think about changing once you unlock new jobs, because job level is different than character level, and you gain job experience by how many actions you perform in battle rather than how much experience the monster gives (that affects character level), so if you decide that you don't like a job once it's high level, you'll be doing a lot of grinding to make the new job catch up.

It's a very charming old school RPG, so that entails grinding, no dungeon save points, unbalanced jobs, and difficulty spikes in dungeons and bosses. If you're into that, I would definitely recommend buying the game!

From FFI to FFVI I'd say FFIII is the worst of them, it's extremely grindy and like it was said before it punishes you for switching classes, the last zones are the worst part, by the time you already beat almost everything and are ready to travel to Eureka you will still be 20~30 levels away from being able to kill the final boss, the last part is the grindiest.

The game is otherwise enjoyable before you reach those "grind X levels to continue if you want to live" parts.

Also the soundtrack is pretty good for the most part. I hated how this was only used once in the whole game http://youtu.be/5luGqEFYdLI

you gotta do that bahamut cave grind

It wasn't as bad because I played it on the DS, so grinding is waaay more tolerable when you're on the go and paying attention to other things, but sitting down and staring at a screen while doing it definitely sounds like more of a chore

I'd have to say it's the most grind heavy of the series. Especially frustrating as they job you choose changes the stats you gain when you level, and the jobs unlock at different points in the game. Meaning your character will never be the perfect Viking simply because you level up under other jobs up to that point.

The only stat that's affected by "what job you had when you leveled" was max hp (because it was calculated based on current vit). Everything else hard resets to static value. Therefore, as long as you spend 20 or so character levels as a high VIT class (just be that class during the battle you "ding") at the end of the game, you'll cap HP long before you hit level 99. The weakness and raising "job level" can be done by going to level 1 monsters and spamming defend.

I played through the Ouya version, which should be the same as Steam, and I didn't have to grind much by not wasting time on inferior jobs, which to be fair, most were. Occasionally, a dungeon would have a dangerous rare mob, but I only got killed by them maybe 4 times. The final boss can be beaten around level 40-50 as usual, it's only the secret boss, the Iron giant, where getting to 70+ is worth doing. To get through smoothly, start everyone as a red mage; then you can leave 1 as a perma-redmage to get the job 99 bonus (learn to love casting spells through weapons and dual wielding). Jobs worth switching to include Knight, Darknight, Geomancer, Whitemage/Devout, Summoner (not Evoker), Ninja, and Sage. The Master class is best for HP raising. While guides will say spam dragoon to defeat Garuda, I did just as well with a balanced party with better job levels (I tried both ways).

Just listen to the soundtrack on youtube while you read the synopsis on wikipedia. Then play FFVI

[TeganLaron]

Lots and lots of grinding required with quite a few different jobs...so kind of like this game in a way.

I played FFIII and FFIV in Nintendo DS, and imo FFIV is more hard than III. The last cave is awful and you need a lot of grind if you don't wanna to become overwhelmed against 2 or 4 mages pack.

FFIII can be frustrating if you move away from the right path because mobs can kill you easy.
Btw, i think the III jobs is fantastic, differents jobs and possibilities to create your group.

Per example, white mage and devout. The first one has a lot low level spells but not powerfull. Devout, by contrast, has a few low, mid and high rank, but that high level spells are powerful.

To leveling jobs, you didn't need fight against high mobs, just search a low mobs in a cave, battle and guard around 5-15 times and then end the fight. Using jobs abilities increase the xp earn
