I cant because I cant save the game...I use Nesticle emulator and this isnt save FFIII... What is the problem...

I've played and beaten both versions and love em both. I'm replaying the NES version now actually, naming my OnionKids Luneth, Arc, Refia and Ingus just for fun and planning to beat Cloud of Darness without N/N/S/S party.

But I like the DS version more. Why? Because it has Refia, no more needs to be said.

And me thinks the DS version needs more love.

Why can't you save? You can either try the ordinary methods of saving the game on the world map, or you can try save states, but I suggest you never try them both together. Make sure the game file (let's say it's called FF3.nes) isn't read-only, and also make sure the save file (FF3.sav) isn't read-only. Another choice would be to use FCE Ultra instead. I beat my first game of FFIII with Nesticle and the second game with FCE Ultra, and I thought the graphics looked a lot better with FCE Ultra. In addition, there's some problems with Nesticle during the ending: Spoiler: after defeating the Dark Cloud, you'll see a view of space. Nesticle only shows you a couple of lines of text on the screen, while there should actually be a lot of text scrolling from bottom to top.

Refia. I haven't even played the DS version, and I already have a White Mage Kitty (Devout) figurine of her. ^^ Since the three guys and a girl are four brothers in the NES version, which classes do you think Refia is allowed to use in NES? I mean, it might be a bit weird turning her into a Thief because she'll look like a bearded guy.

I made Refia my White Mage and I'll later make her my Shaman. Those two classes don't look so boy-ish. Summoner and Onion Knight I find acceptable for NES Refia too. But absolutely not Viking. XD

But you should really find a way to play the DS version, though. Not only is it soooo cute to see how Refia protests against being turned into a toad (Tower of Owen), it's also very cool to see the Cloud of Darkness using something else than FlareWave.

Err...I have a FF3.nes file but when I save this game, FF3.sav file not exists...I don't know why? Maybe didn't I download FF3 ROM completely...but no its in a .zip file, and everything seems to be allright...This makes no sense...

Nes version. In a emulator obviusly, and I'm playing it again (using virtuanes). I really liked.

I'm not going to buy a DS just for one game, so I will wait 2 or 3 years for a emulator to be done and try it.
