Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
159 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
A story as old as time itself, but it is a good one.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
127 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
One of the benefits of this system is, that if you hit a little wall, you can always just go and grind monsters for an extra level or two and overcome the wall.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
42 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack of Final Fantasy III is still a feast for your ears, it’s really amazing how much they managed to do with the tools they had back in the day.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
35 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The ability to freely switch and combine jobs (like Ninja, Monk, and Summoner) allows for unparalleled character customization and strategic depth.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
35 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Like FFIV FFV brings back the energy bar for the combat system, which is a mix of turned based and real time combat (you can do actions once your characters bare is filled) This system works once again really well and made the fights much more enjoyable to me personally.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
32 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Still, if you missed out on the original mobile-port, or you absolutely hated the graphics of that version, then this is the next-best thing for playing the game on PC.
