FFIII gameplay preview

Yeah, we know. Final Fantasy III overload. But what's a fan~~boy~~ girl to do? We are powerless to resist the lure of the lovingly updated classic. This preview has no random chatter, but only the FFIII goodness we crave. Nice look at the use of the stylus, the battle system, and more. Doesn't look like there's an issue with loading times from one area to the next, but this is just a taste, after all.

I honestly didn't think the quality of FFIII would look this polished. I'm really impressed! This really highlights the 3D potential of the DS. I'd love to see FFVI given the transitionary treatment to the DS, as well as a port of FFVII. Seeing this video, I reckon it can be done!

Wow, looks great. It actually reminds me a LOT of Golden Sun.

Every time we see something new about FF III it just seems to be getting better and better! Finally a truely pollished RPG for the DS!!!

Wow, those are some really good graphics on the DS!

Nice job, Square-Enix!

Graphics? yes, they are ok. But... what about the control? It is P-E-R-F-E-C-T

And the gameplay? Not so perfect. I can't believe the normally gameplay-focused DS fanbase is going nuts over this game. Yes, it LOOKS incredible and the production values are top notch but this is NES-FF gameplay (And people think the ATB system is the worst thing ever). I loved the FF franchise since Final Fantasy I for the NES (I have childhood memories playing that, but I don't think i will ever sit down and play it again) but I sure don't care the FF fanboy hype machine anymore.

The graphics look great, but I have to say that the animation is pretty weak. Look at the combat. They aren't even near eachother! Couldn't they have the characters engaged in physical hand to hand combat actually IN CONTACT!

I realize good gameplay can is more important but is should look interesting too.

ppl stop bagging the game out until it is actually out and you have played it....

Alls I'm saying is i will probably get the game when it hits the shelves.

A good RPG is what the DS needs... :)
