Corrected...

This slightly scares me:

Square must think that since it's the last re-release game for now, they should throw around some completely new twists and see if it sells good or gets good feedback. I credit them for trying new things but...
PLEASE, OH PLEASE DON'T RUIN MY PRECIOUSSSS FF3!!!

If they do throw in any new features like that, you'll probably be able to turn them off, like in Origins.

I guess I'm gonna join the whining. I just got a GBA for Christmas and got KH:CoM and FFO, why should I need to get ANOTHER console just to play that ONE game (FFIII) I can't get anywhere else (and actually comprehend the spoken stuff

Ah dang. No FF 3+4 like I'd hoped...
5 and 6 will take them forever...

Well that's interesting... RPGamer has been on top of FF3 announcements forever, though each and every past iteration has been cancelled .

Well anyway, as predicted they are going all crazy go nuts with changing around FF3. The one thing I ask is for an "original" mode. They did that fairly well in Origins (though some of the changes were permanent like the equipment system change in FF1), but in DOS they didn't let you "turn off" anything. They could have at least stuck in the original games in emulated form like with Metroid Zero Mission... This time, with as different as this game may be, options to turn off during the game probably won't be doable. However, an "original mode" option whenever you select "new game" that determines everything from the start but can't be changed should be. If they don't feel like doing that, then at least give us the original game emulated. I really would like to check out that game as it was originally.

That's the nice thing, you don't have to buy it.

You're not very familiar with the tech demos Square made for SGI, are you... One of them (I forget which, possibly Chocobo De Battle) used the mouse as the primary command interface in battle. There were no menus. The shape that you "drew" with the mouse determined the command (I believe a star summoned Bahamut). Using a stylus opens up a LOT more possibilities than just selecting things from a menu, and word is that the main use of the stylus will be for an all new mini-game. There's more to the DS than just two screens and a touch pad too. Let's not forget about the microphone. Imagine if you had to sing to actually make the bard attack. Now that would be hilarious
