when is final fantasy 3 coming out

i cant find it anywhere dose anyone know if it is really out

I’m assuming you’re refering to the Nintendo DS remake of the Japan-only Famicom FFIII, (and not the SNES FFIII, which is what FFVI was originally known as in the US), and to tell the truth, I have no idea.

All I know is it is in development, although whether it is released outside Japan is another matter (but I doubt very much that Square Enix wouldn’t release it, given the other remakes have all seen international releases.). Just have patience – it will come eventually…

i need it to complete my collection and i need it still in its wrapping

If not, you can always get it on emulator

do you know a sight that i can get it from

I’m really not sure how the DS’s stylus would work with ff3, can anyone tell me how?

i think they would bring it out on the psp more likely

No, it’s coming out for the DS.

that sucks. i wish it would’ve been for PSP, anyhow, final fantasy has always been in the playstation platform, well, almost…

There is a reason for that. FFI and II were originally updated for Bandai’s Japan-only handheld Wonderswan console, so FF Origins is merely a more or less direct port of the Wonderswan version (with some basic additions, such as the opening movies). As FFIII’s release on the Wonderswan was cancelled (although FFIV was strangely enough updated for it), FFIII fell by the wayside, as a direct update for the PSX would have been too expensive to produce.

For a long time, there were rumours going around that Square were considering updating it for the GBA, but now, of course, it’s been announced for the DS. Persumably it has something to do with Square Enix’s new licencing contract with Nintendo, in that they have to release a certain quota of games on Nintendo consoles, so I guess FFIII is a part of that.

I’m sure a port of FFIII to a Sony console will eventuate sometime in the future though.

Try snesorama.net or eyesonff.com

Shut up, moron. Everyone’s sick of hearing you say stupid things you can’t possibly back up, spitting in the face of reason and common sense.

I think that FFIII will have to come to the psp or ps3 because SE plans to release a game every month, they will have to make remakes of course.
As we have to wait i am playing FFIII (famicom) in the institute when i have nothing to do.

You’re almost as bad as that broken sword idiot. 🙁

You’re almost as bad as that broken sword idiot. 🙁

i don’t mean to be bad to you or anything, but i think you should be more nice to the people around here, Mr. Prak… (i think you are older than me so i called you mr.)

No offense taken, but I don’t live in Happyland, where there’s always a rainbow in the sky and lots of Care Bears with loose morals. I give what people earn, Miss Rinoa. (I also reciprocate when someone displays courtesy.)

yeah, but don’t you think that if you are nice to the people around here, you’ll have friends? i don’t believe in happyland or either care bears(i don’t like care bears, they’re too girly) or whatever, but i believe that if you are nice, you’ll have friends, Mr. Prak.

FFIII is being remade on the DS and the series started out on the NES and then went to the SNES and then the PSX, FF was with Nintendo for 6 games.

Mr Prak has friends among those of us who know what the fuck we’re talking about (oh no, I said fuck! shit, I did it again!), and applaud him for putting people in his place. When you emerge from junior school, you realize that the only thing that we can depend on in the world is truth, and the little lies you make up to impress your friends, like broken sword here, won’t impress anymore.

The sad fact is, like Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny not existing, Mr Square Enix Executive is not your friend. In fact, his job is to take as much money from your parents as possible, without having to spend money himself.

Final Fantasy III is a game that could be run on my mobile phone, if anyone could be bothered reprogramming it into Java. The processing power required is extremely low – Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls, the GBA rerelease of FF Origins, had better graphics and an updated translation. Think about that – the Gameboy game was better than the PlayStation version. And it still wasn’t using all of the GBA’s graphics ability.

Fact number 2 – producing games costs money. A lot of money. So the executives look at what consoles are out there, and think what they will sell the most on for the least amount of money. Let’s examine each choice –

PlayStation. It worked for FF Origins, but I think FF Origins was also the last game to be released on the PlayStation. It was the last one reviewed on the IGN PlayStation site, anyway. The console is simply too dead.

PlayStation 2 / 3. People expect a certain graphics ability from these machines. Warranted or not, you cannot put a 10 year old sprite based game on a current/next-gen console and expect it to sell well.

PlayStation Portable. The UMD is currently the most expensive gaming media in the world. To mass produce would cost Square Enix millions, and they’re not guarenteed that sort of return. You also have the same argument as the PS2 – what is the PSP, if not a portable PS2?

Which leaves the Nintendo DS. It is still acceptable to release GBA-esque games on the machine, because it is a hybrid. The remake has nothing to do with taking advantage of the touch screen technology, though I can imagine it will make the menus fun. The DS card is a cheap form of flash-based technology that is easy to mass produce. It also has the advantage of being able to play Square Enix’s GBA games, which means it’s an open market as well – people who like FF3 DS are more likely to track down FF1&2 Dawn of Souls.

Bottom line? They can rake in the money by releasing it on the DS. Mr. Square-Enix Executive doesn’t care about fanboys or fangirls – believe it or not, you are not the main consumer. He cares about the real Final Fantasy market, those who played it back in the NES days – those in the 18-24 market with the disposable income to purchase more than one handheld.

If you’re not in the market, there is no use complaining.

your such a looser all of a sudden you start being nasty to me what the hell do you thing doing get a life well you better do soon because you wont have any friends to get you out of trouble

lol.

I’m sorry if you take offence at the truth – I merely stated the reasons that game companies choose consoles. If you can point out one sentence where I even mentioned you, i’ll eat my hat.

Shut up, moron. Everyone’s sick of hearing you say stupid things you can’t possibly back up, spitting in the face of reason and common sense.

LMAO! are you serious? he was just stating what he blevieved made sense, althoguh it was not a well infromed descision, he was thinking a majority of the FF games were released on a Sony mahcine.

i just think its ridiculouse that you are so vicious for no reason at all.

No offense taken, but I don’t live in Happyland, where there’s always a rainbow in the sky and lots of Care Bears with loose morals. I give what people earn, Miss Rinoa. (I also reciprocate when someone displays courtesy.)

so you live in the land of assholes?

its called common coutesy, no one wants you to become a saint, any smart human being knows how to be nice to some one.

(lol, care bears with loose morals, lol, good one!)

sorry i meant prak he is such a ars*hole

Thank you. I always take it as a compliment when stupid people insult me.

A good site for emulators are www.vimm.net and www.freeroms.com

Uh… who asked?

He said this then broken sword said this

do you know a sight that i can get it from

So I was just answering his question, theres nothing wrong with that is there?

Thank you. I always take it as a compliment when stupid people insult me.

broken sword, don’t look too much into prak, he is just an arrogant jerk that is way to high on himself.

thanks for that (youre the best) thanks everyone for the information

broken sword, don’t look too much into prak, he is just an arrogant jerk that is way to high on himself.

Why thank you! However, you got a couple of things wrong. I’m arrogant, but only because I deserve to be. There’s no such thing as being too high on myself.

lol, no one deserves to be arrogant…and its very easy to be high on ones self. all they must do is treat everyone else like simpletons and keep telling themselves that they are better then everyone.

lol, no one deserves to be arrogant…

That’s just an excuse used by people who don’t deserve to be arrogant. It’s the only thing that helps them sleep at night.

and its very easy to be high on ones self. all they must do is treat everyone else like simpletons and keep telling themselves that they are better then everyone.

That just proves how awesome I am since I only treat simpletons like simpletons and I still manage to be "high on myself."

you speak out of your a****

ugh…this is enough. your high on yourself…and as long as you are high on yourself you will never see it…@[email protected] feel sorry for you.

he is getting annoying (i mean prak)

Ok, that’s enough.

Broken Sword, clanoftheduck, Prak has done nothing except state criticism – it was you both who started harrasing him. I’m closing this thread because it’s turned into nothing but a witch hunt.

I’m closing this thread, and i’ll be watching for this sort of thing in the first place.

I know the thread is closed, and the conversation moved far beyond this, but I need to clear something up.

1) The Final Fantasy series was on a Nintendo based consol for seven years. By "based" I mean there is a span of seven years since the release date of Final Fantasy I and Final Fantasy VI. There is also a span of seven years between the release date of Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy XI. That is hardly "always" or "most". Also, if you include Tactics Advance, it means that Final Fantasy games have been seen on Nintendo products for sixteen years. That’s more than double the time span that the games have been on Sony products.

2) Eight Final Fantasies were originally released on Nintendo products. These consist of Final Fantasy I, Final Fantasy II, Final Fantasy III, Final Fantasy IV, Final Fantasy V, Final Fantasy VI, Final Fantasy Tactics, and Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest. If you include Final Fantasy Tactics Advance then that means there were nine games originally released on Nintendo products.

Final Fantasies originally released on a Sony product: Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy VIII, Final Fantasy IX, Final Fantasy X, Final Fantasy X-2, and Final Fantasy XI. Six games. That’s a little over 2/3 if you do not include Tactics Advance in the conversation, and exactly 2/3 if you do. That isn’t even close to most Final Fantasies being released on Playstation products.

You kids need to do your homework.
