News from Lik Sang (http://www.lik-sang.com/news.php?artc=3876&lsaid=219793)
Originally for the Famicom over 16 years ago, Final Fantasy III sheds its 8-bit look this week and is reborn using the DS's 3D capabilities. The new more believable look creates an more mesmerizing atmosphere and infuses with the tale of four young heroes in search of magic light crystals. With Hiromichi Tanaka, a designer from the original at the helm, and Nobuo Uematsu who composed the original's music by his side, this remake was in good hands. Beyond graphics, further changes include your party members now having names, three of which are male, one female. Along with personalities, they've also been given bask stories and extra scenes, but loyal fans will be glad to know they haven't changed anything from the main storyline. Sub characters can also now join in battles, there's a new crystal and dungeon to explore, and the jobs system has been rebalanced and received a new class and abilities.

Trying to secure peace once again, you can wander through the diverse environments, chat and enter combat simply all using the touch screen. Those that'd rather opt for a traditional D-Pad and button control system can rejoice however, as that’s an alternative choice. Running at a steady 30 frames per second this looks even better than the original FF VII did on the PSOne, and that’s saying a lot for the power of the DS! Those who consider themselves Final Fantasy coinsures can rest assured that the magic is still here, and you can revisit a freshly reworked highlight in the FF line or experience the epic story for the first time; either way, you'll be hard pressed to find a more rewarding role-playing effort on the DS. Due in stock this week, this Japanese edition will work on any NDS the globe over, and is a true import gamer's delight.
