I really love this game. I have to admit, I'm a little partial to squre-enix, and loved tactics for ps1. So I was predisposed to enjoy this game. I think that despite my common inclination toward ff-related games, ffta is a worthy game in-and-of-itself. The main reason I loved this game was the enjoyable battles. I think they got a lot right with the mechanics, especially range of attack, and movement. There are a…
it's hard to contextualize the greatness of this game in the world of modern gaming. i can't describe the vastness of this game when i first encountered it as FF3 on SNES. its story spread further than any game i had ever played. but...a great history is great, but is this game still great? after playing it for over 50 hours, i have to say it has stood the test of time and remains a great play, even if you don't…

I remember getting the NES version for Christmas one year. I couldn't wait. My brother and I had snuck around and found it under a bed or something and played it before Christmas. Anyways, I was a huge fan of the original as well as the original Dragon Warrior (Quest). That said, I'm even a bigger fan of the Dawn of Souls remake. Now those of you who are really hardcore retro gamers may not like the fact that they…
