How it didn't get the same treatment of I and II and got a release for Playstation?

>> No.8646553

>>8646516
Because those were based off of assets from the WSC releases. I have no idea why FF3 never got a WSC release.

3 didn't get a release because they were strapped for cash and went with porting 4 and such, it was the latest and greatest at the time

Japs love FF4 and Square needed money so they figured fuck this and jumped 3

>> No.8647169

From what I remember, it was because Square lost the source code for Final Fantasy III and weren't able to reverse-engineer the game for the Wonderswan Color. Unlike I & II, which were developed entirely in Japan, Square briefly had to move the game's development to the U.S. when Nasir Gebelli's work visa expired and after the game was finished, they simply left the source code in the states.

Out of all the PR's I've played so far 3 is my fav followed by 5. 6 will be ok, but you can't fix the shitty World of Ruin portion of the game.

In theory yes but in practice the final dungeon is so grueling that FF1 is probably better
>maybe even the best RPG out of the entire NES library
Nope, mogged hard by Dragon Quest 3 and 4

You are objectively wrong
>>8647518
This guy gets it. 3 is probably the best up until that final run, where they shit the bed. 1 has the most soul though.

that final dungeon is so fucking intense and vast that you can't get too mad for being forced to grind a couple more levels

>> No.8647663

>>8647639
It really slows the game down though. You can go through the whole game without grinding up to that point and then you're kind of just stuck in this area trying to level up so you can beat a ton of bosses. It could have been handled better by the devs.

Wrong, I read about it in a PlayStation magazine from when FF8 came out. I'm from the UK where FF7 was the first notable release, so the series was very novel at the time.

It sounds retarded, but there's some actual effort put into it and it's a surpisingly decent system for it's time. Party members learn as a battle goes on what will and won't work against the given enemy. The only downside is that the knowledge isn't permanent. It's a per-battle system, and lead to the series joke of Cristo/Kiryl constantly casting Beat/Whack and having it fail. To my knowledge the system was never used again in another Dragon Quest game, even in remakes of IV, because the AI was considered too smart at it's highest levels.
