go ahead and read it, but all I can do is laugh at the man. I'm glad the game is difficult, and it sounds like it hasn't changed much from it's original version. Most fans, like me, think the newer games are far too easy, so a difficult game will be more fun. I honestly don't know what this guy was expecting. It's an old NES game just slightly updated, and he expected it to be like games nowadays. Saying the gameplay is outdated is just pure stupidity. Sadly most people will probably look at this game as he did, and not realize this is an NES classic, with mostly just graphical upgrades, keeping the true heart of the game.

so read it, and join me in laughing at this man.

THE JACKAL

Am I allowed to hit that guy?
He doesn't even recognize a masterpiece of the Final fantasy series when he's looking at it. Oh, and he sucks at RPG's, too, if he finds this game hard. It was more difficult than the newer ones, yes, but that adds to the challenge and gives beating the game a much better feeling.

Seeign as how he rated the graphics high, I guess he's kinda a graphics whore.

Man man man, I guess the only thing we can do is laugh. Ridiculous difficulty, XD. Like I said, he sucks at palying RPG's if he finds this Final Fanatsy difficult. It was harder yeah...

And dated gamepaly, XD. And the newer Final Fanatsies are any different? Oh sure, linear gameplay, characters that can all be developped the same, blah blah blah...

Man, that dude just fails, what more can I say?

He's obviously a FF VII fanboy >_>

If a game is marketed and sold at the same price as new games, it should play like a new game. Authenticity or nostalgia aren't excuses for flawed battle mechanics. The guy has every right to complain about the gameplay if it really is terrible.

This review doesn’t surprise me; similar reviews of FFIV: Advance were penned when it was released last year. Ultimately his ‘for die hard fans only’ conclusion was more or less what I was expecting from this game.

I seriously question if this guy played any game BEFORE the next gen stuff came out. He's obviously never played or seen the original game then, seeing how bad he bashes it.

The game didn't need a spectacular plot or deep characters, it was just a good game with the little amount they could fit on the NES for the time, and worked out very well. Was my favorite of the NES generation games.

If that guy wants hard he should play FFII NES, no cheats and no emulator saves. Now THAT's a hard and annoying game to play.

Well, it's his opinion, let him have it. I have to admit, though, I don't see how FFIII's gameplay is that outdated, especially when FFX-2 uses a very similar system that worked wonders, IMHO. It was also weird how he was ranting about the difficulty for two long paragraphs.

[Znake]

He's worse than Chi Phan.

If the boss battles are tough, that's a good thing IMO. One of the problems in FFI, II, V + VI was how easy the bosses were.

I must say that I actually believe that it is a little tougher than the original. At least the beginning is. You have to fight the turtle boss with only one character vs four in the original. Leveling up a lot is a must. I'm still loving it, though!
