It isn't worth it unless you worship everything that has to do with Final Fantasy (like me ) You miss nothing if you already played other remakes. The DS version has like 5 minutes of extra scenes and the bonus content from the GBA version is removed. But I love kain in CGI

I would have bought it, had I not already bought the GBA remake.

I DID, however, buy Final Fantasy III for DS and absolutely loved it! Goodness, that's one of my all time favorite DS games, right below Dawn of Sorrow, Portrait Of Ruin (only because it's Castlevania...sort of) and Super Mario 64. I need to expand my DS collection, but I don't see that many games that are really worth obsessing over, so I don't bother.

Well those who have played it can you answer me questions.

1) While i don't mind difficulty, i dropped ff III because of the intense difficulty. (there where also other reasons but that's for another thread) What i was really turned off by was the fact that at the games start you can run in to enemies that can inflict status effects like stone just by hitting you. Is that prevalent in here early on or better yet, not at all.

....hmm...i think that's the only question i have. i might pick this up in the future if my question is answered to my liking.

oh here we go...another question.

2) Is the legendary phrase "you spoony bard" still in the game....perhaps put to voice?

I played III DS. It's the only FF game I have ever played, also.

I'm trying to get IV DS currently. It seems inpossible to get it under thirty, unfortunately.

FF IV is awesome, imo, and I'm not a big FFer myself.  I seriously can't put it down, and the plot is pretty well done, especially considering how it's more than 15 years old.

FF4 is one of the best games ever played in my life. We still talk about the ending and some of the other parts every once in a while and Cecil was a huge inspiration for me as a character for lots of other stuff back then. Hell the 'Noblebrook' part of my name came from Cecil cause he never had a last name I knew of in those days so when I used the name for my own chars and stories Noblebrook was the name I gave him. A few years later when I made up Aridale I took it as his middle name cause that idea of Cecil and my own chars and stuff that came from it meant so much to me.

So... yeah... FF4... damn good game.

Difficulty? I thought Final Fantasy IIII was WAY harder than III.

IIII = IV.  Learn to roman numeral.

As for FFIII, I played the crap out of it on DS and I thought it was easy enough.  I've played the NES original though, so I knew what I was doing, to an extent.  There are still many moments in the game where there's luck involved, and many job classes are just downright useless.  Still an okay game, in my book.

Oops, I need to read my posts before posting them...

Don't worry - I'm not THAT stupid...Well, maybe I am...

I recently got this too, great remake, the mad doctor they added was a retard though. Reversing everything, dumbass. All I had to do was use 2 elixers and he was burnt toast.

no not early on later, but mostly only slow acting 20 turn petrification, getting hit and being instantly turned to stone is insanely rare. It's Insanely tough, but FF IV was always insanely tough. That's why it's my fav FF.

I have to ask, was it REALLY necessary to port Final Fantasy IV to the DS when it was released to the PSX several times, and then ported to the GameBoy Advance a mere 3 years ago? Granted this is supposed to be an upgrade, but really, do we need ANOTHER port of this game? I have a small apartment and don
