When I found your blog, I really enjoyed reading it however since I hadn’t played through Final Fantasy III yet, I didn’t want to spoil it for myself, so I stopped reading. Now that I’m done, I’m caught up. There are just a couple of things I wanted to mention:

If you’re going to level up as much as you did, of course you’re going to have lots of extra gold floating around. There’s also the aspect of if you want to have the best armor and weapons for all the classes you can switch on a moments notice, for all 4 characters, then money will probably be a little more tight.

Now, I don’t know how much of a gamer you are, but the lack of saving inside of dungeons is common previous to the Super NES era. The only reason that there is a quick save feature is because these versions are portable and due to battery concerns, need to be able to be turned off at a moments notice, but you probably knew that already.

Sorry, didn’t mean to gripe, but I just don’t see the save thing being a big deal. Anywho, keep up the good work and enjoy them all!

SuperMegamanX: Interesting. I’d definitely agree with that so far. From the little I can tell now, Final Fantasy IV looks to have a pretty good story.

Well, Mike, there’s something I heard a while ago, and it seems to be true: for the first 6 FF games, The odd numbered titles focused on gameplay, and the even ones on story. Starting with 7 on PS1, this seems to have changed a bit though.

Chocobo: I think the thing that disappointed me with the story in Final Fantasy III was that I liked the story in Final Fantasy II so much better. I was thinking that Final Fantasy III would improve on that, but I didn’t feel like it did. I think it does go to show how awesome the story in Final Fantasy II was for its time.

Drake: Thanks with the best wishes for Final Fantasy IV. I’ve played two short sessions with it already, and so far I’ve been enjoying it. It’s quite a bit different than Final Fantasy III, though.

The story of III did suck, and I played (and finally finished) the game in my native lang.-eng. Any way, luck with Final Fantasy IV. It’s my second favorite game in the main series.

Heh, oops, typo, I meant “talking about FFIV” not “talking to FFIV”. Sorry, I’m an idiot

I agree on a lot of that, especially the story, the saves, and the letters. But you have to remember about the story is that the original was made centuries ago, so it was actually quite good at the time. One thing about FFIV, V, and VI is that the visuals do decrease as they are made for the Gameboy Advance, not the DS. They still are quite nice for GBA games. So, talking to FFIV, good luck with it! I’ve already started it, but I haven’t played it for a while due to playing FFIII
