It took years grabbing these as they’ve popped up for decent prices, just recently grabbed V to finish it off. Wish III had been released as a GBA cart.
Final Fantasy 3 i think was the first rpg game I ever played as a kid that really sucked me in.
If you love the older FF games, I do recommend the Pixel Remasters. They don’t come with the extra content they added for the GBA/DS re-releases, but they are very good remasters that do a great job of keeping the pixellated look and feel one might (generously) remember while visually improving everything in just about every regard.
And the redone soundtracks are phenomenal.
I’ve been eyeing the collection on Switch! Just hard to justify when I have so many other ways to play those games already. My money is finite, unfortunately.
I do love the soundtracks though, and that also makes it tempting. I play a lot of theatrythm on both 3DS and Switch.
I’m still mad because I got about 3/4 of the way through the PR of 2 and it corrupted my save.
Ouch, my sympathies. That’s the point where I’d unapologetically use the built in cheat modes and auto battle back to catch up, but even then that’s a pain to work back through. At least it was just 2 and not one of the longer ones like 5 or 6.
Shame they never released VII, VIII and IX for the DS. At the very least, the 3DS would have been able to handle all the way up to the PS2 games but SE just didn’t seem interested in remakes on Nintendo consoles anymore for whatever reason.
IX might be my favorite of all time, and I would have camped out overnight to have that on something like the DS.
At least we’re getting some re-releases on the Switch now. 🤷
What about original tactics? Or were you going for the GBA ports only?
Just GBA, Square Enix did all these releases for it and I’m a big fan of the series and the system. Just threw Tactics in because it’s also “Final Fantasy” on the GBA. And figured I’d put the DS III in there too for the hell of it.
I have the original Tactics installed on my PS Classic. 🤷
Well it’s a dope collection! I’m pretty sure I have a few of these around somewhere. Maybe 1+2, 4, and tactics.
