Final Fantasy III in action
16
Coming in at almost 4 minutes, this footage of Final Fantasy III in action is likely to cause your salivation for the title to reach new, disgustingly moist, heights. The footage, while hefty on the battling, shows some dungeon crawling and sheds some light on the load times of the title, which are easily put up with.

Thats looking so nice! I'm picking this one up for sure. The game play looks perfectly classic, but the graphics look really tasty.

Still looking good. Unlike E3, I could actually hear the music this time. Also, the E3 demo was a bit sugar coated, as the same demo scenario was traversed but with all four characters instead of one.
Bring it on!

I gotta say the exact opposite to #3. I wanted this, but now I see the video... it just looks really boring, especially the battles.

Odd camera angles.
I wonder what's on the bottom screen during gameplay.
Excellent music though.

Actually most of the game just uses one screen. It uses both video processors to render the game into 3D for most of the time onto one screen.
Very rarely does the second screen turn on.

Those "load times" are ridiculous!
Do they even know what a load time is? I thought a load time was supposed to be long, monotinous, and boring. Those were quick, short, to the point and, entertaining even.
My point is is that these aren't load times. Now Animal Crossing on the other hand.....

I would be nice if Square could, you know, liven up the combat system at some point. Like, actually make it look like your character is harming the enemy?
I mean, as much as I love pantomiming attacks and having it harm my enemy who is 20ft away, it doesn't make for very entertaining battles.
"Hey, Pete, did you see that? My guy just waved his sword in the air a little and that boss took like 50 damage, it was so awesome!"
"Rrr, yeah, totally awesome, Doug."
After playing something like KOTOR, the idea of turn based battled having to look like a Square game just disgusts me. Give me some battle interaction, please. If Bioware can do it, Square can too. (Also first person who says KOTOR isn't turn based loses at life.)

I agree with Brad Root. Sure, the game is a remake of an old classic... but I believed that they were going to make it have a complete current gen overhaul (the graphics are pretty good on the DS and I read that they're adding some stuff, plus there's the WiFi connection thing, so I won't argue against it), but they could have at least made the guy move to the enemy and directly attack him a la FF VI and up (I never played FF V but I'm pretty sure FF IV was still with the non-contact battles). They're saying how "oh, the DS is more powerful than the NES so we're giving it a current gen look," but they don't even make contact with each other. I'm still getting the game, its just, now I know not to expect battles like FF VII and above (which I was before seeing this video).

Damn, ATB (Active Time Battle) would've made this game (even more) awesome. Oh well, I'll probably still buy it.

Looks strangely like FF9. I think I may pick this up for my new DS Lite, which I might add is getting a lot of play time unlike my dusty PS2.
