Holy shit (http://ds.ign.com/articles/656/656107p1.html)

Looks like the long-sought after remake of Final Fantasy III(j) will be worth the wait after all.

A 3D remake of a 2D Final Fantasy? What other doors will Square Enix open!

In other news: Final Fantasy V and VI announced for the GBA. Woot!

I was supprized when I look at the pictures and saw 3D. I was expecting it to look like the pictures they had released when they were going to releas it for WonderSawn. I was also disipointed when they anounced FF5-6 for the GBA. They would be better on the DS, with the original A-B, X-Y botton format. However... they are still making them protable, so that's good!

i cant see the screenshots, hook me up

That's actually a good point - Sabin's combos will be difficult to pull off, because they use the shoulder buttons if I remember correctly.

Apart from that, Final Fantasy never really needed a 4 face-button layout - 'ok' 'cancel' and 'menu' are really the only commands needed.

I remember playing FFIII on the NES and it was a great game. I'm looking forward to the long-delayed update to FFIII. Now that it's 3D I'm definately gonna play it. I hope they give each of the onion brothers (the main characters) unique personalities this time though since they were completely identical in the original (but the storyline was still great). I also remember the world map music in FFIII, which was probably the best world map music in any FF game. Oh yeah, FFIII also introduced one of the best development systems in the series, the job system.

ne screenies?

Only some very low quality screen caps -

FF3 Official logo (finally) (http://www.palgn.com.au/image.php?id=3186&media_id=2)

I've got no idea what this is. (http://www.palgn.com.au/image.php?id=3186&media_id=3)

3D battle! (http://www.palgn.com.au/image.php?id=3186&media_id=4)

That logo was used for the original FFIII OST album cover art sometime in the 90s. The guy in the logo is probably one of the onion brothers (the heroes).

It'd be worth the wait if it was a direct port of the famicom game.

If we're lucky, they might put the original version on it also. I'm not holding my breath for that, but maybe it's possible.

Wouldn't that be nice...the original version is what alot of us wanted in the first damn place too.

In case they don't include it, there are always other (free) methods to get the original version... (for those of you who haven't already got it)

Yeah, but their technically illegal. Anyway, what's bad with the 3D graphics?

There's absolutely NOTHING wrong with the 3D graphics... but for some reason they want the 2D version... I think it's because the original versions are more challenging (or frustrating depending on your interpretation) than the updated versions.

I doubt they would give the original version of FFIII though, considering the fact that the original version of FFII was never released outside Japan either.

I am very glad to see S-E still paying attention to the games that made them what they are today. I am quite happy that this game is being remade in 3d...though the title does sound a bit cheesy "FFIII-D" hahaha.
It should have been something along the lines of FF Origins or FF Anthology

The game will NOT be called FFIIID. That's just a pun combining FFIII and 3D together. The 3D DS update will still be called FFIII.

And Square-Enix have been making a lot of remakes recently (FF Origins, FFI&II DOS, FFIII, Dragon Quest V, Romancing Saga).

Actually, it will probably be called something like "Final Fantasy III DS: Weird Tagline Here". Or maybe it will be one of those silly 'DS' things that companies have been doing lately where it's 'Castlevania DS BUT TEH DS STANS FOR DAWN OF SORROW LOL'.

Official titles of the FF4, 5 and 6 GBA remakes:

Final Fantasy IV Advance
Final Fantasy V Advance
Final Fantasy VI Advance

The rerelease is part of a project called 'Finest Fantasy For Advance'.

I shit you not.

Also, remakes: easy way to make a lot of money while waiting for the big titles - Dragon Quest whatever that one is that's coming out, Final Fantasy XII and Kingdom Hearts II.

They could just call it Final Fantasy III: Dawn of Souls again... :p but FF Advance is a lame name though...

From all those Square-Enix remakes, Dragon Quest V is the one I'm most looking forward to. The SNES version of DQV was one of the best SNES RPGs I played! It had an excellent story and very good gameplay, not to mention it was the first RPG to feature "monster-breeding". But unfortunately I couldn't complete it, so now that makes it even more worthwhile waiting for the remake of DQV.

cool

This sounds very cool. I have never played it myself. But I am considering getting it now. hahaha

And as for FFIII-D...what can I say? ...I wish i owned a nintendo DS. haha

cool

Final Fantasy V Advance

Honestly, there have been quite a few remakes, they should consider adding new elements to the games or something.

I just saw the new screens on RPGamer of FF3 DS, and they are frikin-awesome!!! No doubt in my mind: I've got to buy that when it comes out.

im so excited about all the remakes. ive never had the chance to play 3, and this new 3-D version looks great.

the only thing i hope for is updated graphics for 4-6, some bonus stuff, and that they are true to the originals plots. thats the onyl way 4 and 6 can get better.

thats the onyl way 4 and 6 can get better.

haha, I actually think they are great the way they are. Especially VI, haha I cant imagine that remade in 3D...

i love the games the way they are, but ive already beat 6 in all its various platforms, i dont evne know how many times. it would be cool to do it in a different way. kind of a reward to all the long time players who are deicated to this game in particular.

Uh, what?

It's only for the Nintendo DS. And it's not even that expensive now, as the price has dropped to $130. The only current console that is cheaper than the DS is the Gamecube, so what are you babbling about?

Arg. Lawd above! hey because i'm from london an' talk cockney slang an' all, i don't use da dollar but i guess what $130 can't be what much in da british pound, but I think da prices differ from 'ere ter there. By da way, if yew can't read dis yew know why - maybe it's because i'm a londoner. Anyway Tom Hanks fer da 'elp, i'll look in'er ge'in' a DS then., innit.

.... huh?
Wow, some hardcore slang you have there. Not really slag actually, just teen talk. a.k.a short form. You = U, kinda shit.

Gawdon Bennet! Alright, maybe I didn't use much rabbi' talk there, but I certainly did not use any ov dis "teen talk" ov yaaahrs. if u men' talk lyk tihs al da tym lyk in txt mssages tehn taht i did not, coz I ain' lyk taht an al. Know what I mean? I know myself what I'm not an' all nang at dis slang thing, but I'll 'ry ter improve an' everything. OK?

haha, thats fine but allow me to quote you


THEY R TO EXPENSIVE. NOT REALLY BUT I CAN'T B BOTHERED TO GET ONE ANYWAY. PLEASE SAY THEY R ON ANOTHER CONSOLE.

Notice you said "R" ,haha thats sort of short form.

DAMNIT! Lol, I suppose ur right. Oh God I've done it again! Arg, what's happenin to me? AAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!

Woo-Hoo! Final Fantasy 3 is getting more than just it's graphics changed. I just read at RPGamer.com that they are also giving each of your main characters individual personalities, making the job-system a bit better, and revamping the storyline!

I am searching RPGamer and cant find anything. Could you give me an exact link please.

No problem:
