Final Fantasy Legend 3- SquareSoft |
3-and-a-half-stars; nostalgia
2003-05-31
Final Fantasy Legend III (part of the Saga series in Japan, billed as Final Fantasy in the U.S. to boost sales) is actually a decent game, despite dated Mode-7 graphics and cheesy pre-GBA sounds. It's a standard 4-person-party RPG that requires some tedious leveling, equipment upgrades, and several quests across a variety of settings. The storyline had a lot of potential, and while incomplete at parts, should leave you satisfied at the end.Why the high rating for this ancient game? The game brings back a lot of memories of the old days. Is it worth playing now? If you own the game but never managed to play it, I suggest you do. If you can get a good used price, pick it up. Some of the tunes are catchy, and the gameplay is pretty smooth. Also, if you can't be bothered to upgrade your portable system to a Game Boy Advance, this is one of the best RPGs available on the Game Boy. 
One of the best Game Boy RPG's...

With the exception of The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, Final Fantasy Legends 2 and 3 were the best pre-Advance Game Boy RPGs ever made. The battle systems for both were slightly different from their big-screen brethren (especially as they were not technically FF games, but SaGa), but FF Legend 3 is fairly recognizable: Fight, Magic, and Item are all in place (though spells are bought and learned). Unlike in Legends 2 and 3, weapons are unbreakable and magic is used with MPs, not consumable items.This is the first FF Legend game to feature characters with given names. The plot is also more cohesive, as progress is no longer from world to world but to different parts of the same world. In addition, the airship is the coolest airship of all of the Final Fantasy games; it attacks enemies, sells items, travels through various planes of existence, provides free healing, and more. Graphics, music, and length are all extremely impressive given the game's age (released in 1990), and still largely hold up on the strength of the gameplay. Sunsoft's rerelease ensured the game's continuing availability, though it won't last forever; both this game and Legend 2 (as well as Legend 1, though it is weaker) are strongly recommended to console FF players searching for more proofs of SquareSoft's brilliance. Final Fantasy Adventure, actually in the Secret of Mana series rather than FF, resembles a Zelda game. It is also recommended, but very different from the Legend series. 
Good

It was a good game but a bit short for fans of Final Fantasy. Really it isn't even a FF game at all it is a different RPG but dubbed as being a FF game as it was in the US. I like to think of it as short but sweet.
GREAT!!!!

I really thoroughly enjoyed this game. If you're looking for Final Fantasy, let me warn you before I even get started, this game was never associated with Final Fantasy and never will be. It was called Saga in Japan. But that doesn't mean it isn't good.First of all, I happened to find the storyline very captivating! There were many plot twists I never saw coming and laughs as well (for example, at one point the "hero" walks in and his theme song begins to play. The "bad guy" in this part asks, "What's that music!?" OK, it's one of those 'yeh had to be there' funnies, I guess...). The characters were interesting as well. Of course, nothing was near as complex as any of the later Final Fantasy stories. The graphics are...old-fashioned. They are nothing compared to today's graphics and probably weren't even that great for their time. It's the same with the music. There are a couple catchy tunes, but apart from that... So, if you can look past the parts of this game that are outdated and can appreciate it for what it is, I heartilly recommend this game for you. But if you are looking for Final Fantasy...you might be somewhat disappointed.  Read for more: http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html%3FASIN=B...
