why did they cuck 3 and only 3 out of a snes style remake

>Yes, and FF3 also features an interesting world, very sad how final fantasy shifted the focus to character development. It truly felt fantastical back then. If not for the forced jobs and lack of balance, I'd prefer it to 3. It should have been ported to the GBA with 1 and 2.
The reason 3 didn't get ported is because FF3 for the Wonderswan ended up being cancelled, Dawn of Souls uses FF1+2 for the Wonderswan Color as a base.

There was an intention, but it never panned out.
The given explanation is that III had too much to make a Wonderswan version work:
>When we developed FF3, the volume of content in the game was so huge that the cartridge was completely full, and when new platforms emerged, there simply wasn’t enough storage space available for an update of FF3, because that would have required new graphics, music and other content. There was also a difficulty with how much manpower it would take to remake all of that content.
Whether that's true or if its due to some other reason is up for you to decide.

It was supposed to be a Wonderswan Color title, but the Wonderswan was too technologically limited to handle FF3's job system. Square skipped it, and that's why the WSC has remakes of 1, 2, and 4 that were used as the base for the GBA ports a few years later. FF1 and 2's PSX versions are enhanced ports of the WSC versions.

On the PSX native side, Square had too many projects on the go and the possible merger with Enix, so FF3 was unfeasible at every turn.

Reason is because it's based on the Wonderswan version which, contrary to the previous games, is downscaled.
Still wish we got the lost Wonderswan III though.

The RPG

I'm still sad about the cancelled Final Fantasy remakes for the wonderswan color...

The graphics style does look nice. Since they had already produced some assets for the WSC mockups, I wonder why they didn't attempt to reuse them for a PS1 or GBA port.

I attempted to translate the character names from the mockup:

ケール Kale
エスプリ Esprit
アーム Arm
レゾン Raison

>The one thing I'm sad about is that there's no WSC-style version of FF3
There was going to be but even after porting 1, 2 and 4 to WSC they couldn't fit all of the updated content from 3 on a WSC cart. Makes me sad and angry to think about how they didn't at least use what they had to make a GBA/PSP remake.

Never forget.
