Presents from Japan!
Posted by Mike Blitz on January 18th, 2007
My box of games arrived! Inside were six new games: Final Fantasy 3, Final Fantasy 4, Final Fantasy 5, Final Fantasy 6, and two kanji games! Woot! It’ll be great to put this two-week delay behind us and get back to business. This also fills in my Japanese collection of Final Fantasy games all the way through Final Fantasy 10-2.
I’m both excited and concerned about playing Final Fantasy III. I’ve read a bit about the game, and the complexity of the job system seems to have confused many gamers. I hope I can figure it out in Japanese. Also, I’ve heard this game is an “old-school” gaming experience, with a restricted saving system inside dungeons and some brutally difficult, huge dungeons. I’m really hoping that I don’t get stuck.
I’ll be loading up Final Fantasy III this evening and getting busy with it.
I hope to have an initial report up tomorrow.
Let the games continue!

I never played 3, but if the job system is like the later games woth job systems, Then its confusing at first (I ignored it for a bit) untill you really go in and poke around. I remember having one or two sudden revalations and suddenly everything made sense. I use it without any thought besides planning now.

I started playing last night, and haven’t gotten up to the point where the job system kicks in, but I did read the manual a bit. I think I understand the job system now, but it didn’t seem so difficult, so that’s what got me confused. If I thought it was easy to understand, I’m wondering if I’m missing something?
I any case, though, the job system looks awesome in FF3. There are so many to choose from, and it looks like you can bounce back and forth between different jobs. From what I understand, you have levels of ability at each job as well, which is a neat concept, too.

Maybe Mike’s job is really easy and he works two hours a day, and instead of playing Final Fantasy for the last few monthes he’s been playing those other games he got
