These games suck. Number counters basically. *Yawn* no thanks I’ll skip Japanese d&d

>> No.6132603

in ff3 for the famicom every new set of jobs are straight upgrades and at the end you will invariably be running sage/ninja like your picture. every class is NOT useful. FFV is better in this regard though

It simply gets overshadowed by FFV, that’s why.

Why does Thief exist in FFI if it can't steal?

It's a translation error, he's actually called the Juggalo in Japan.

Most RPG of the time had a thief class but only Ultima 1-3 actually allowed to steal things.
Their main purpose was to disarm traps and open chests.

It’s great but nobody has played it unless it’s the blander DS remake

Original FF3 is poorly balanced and several classes end up being straight useless after a point.

There's a reason the Onion Knight turns into a ninja or sage in the Dissidia games, they were literally the straight up superior final jobs.

Thief can't even do that, and its ability to run from battles easily didn't function either. It's by far the worst class in the game.

FF1 is super fun if all you want to do is grind and listen to music or podcasts. It's all super simple plot wise and man those dungeons get fucking long end game.

I did not because the retarded inventory limitations which serve literally no purpose are all make the game a pain in the ass when it comes to changing classes.

Because thief exists in D&D.

I don't know about that. The only thing the famicom original has on the remake is graphics. Original has hard obsolesce. As in, the scholar or red mage literally don't get new weapons after hein obsolete.

>>6133918
Late game classes are better in the remake, too. But the job level systems means that lower tier classes are perfectly viable and really only get outshined if you spend a ton of time grinding the final tier of classes.

In any event, I'm replaying FF9, which I haven't touched in a decade. I never really liked this one in the past due to the poor pacing, but honestly with this series, and JRPGs in general, being in such a sorry state for so long, this is seeming like a masterpiece and I'm enjoying it. I also am using a different party which is much more fun.

The DS remake is bland only because of the graphics, and even then "bland" is an exaggeration: what is truly bland is the PC port with that soulless generic font and window style.

Thanks!
How do people feel about the "redux" rebalancing or the job system improvement hack? Do they actually improve the game?
