Video Game Reviews of Final Fantasy III
Customer Review: The Greatest Video Game of All-Time
Summary: 5 Stars
Final Fantasy III (VI in Japan) is the greatest video game of all-time. The game was the US follow-up to Final Fantasy II (IV in Japan) which vastly improved on the excellent predecessor.
The story involves a madman named Kefka who is essentially trying to destroy the world by harvesting Espers, which are basically beasts from an alternate world who made their way into the human world. You control the protagonists who are trying to stop him. One of the greatest twists in video game history, in my opinion, occurs at the midpoint of the game and forces the party to overcome division and hopelessness to save the world. While the game might appear to be juvenile and cartoonish in the storytelling, the story is such that I appreciate just as much now at 27 as I did when I first played it at 14.
There are many playable characters which was very diverse in their personalities and abilities. A handful (Sabin, Edgar, Terra, Celes) are much more useful than others (Gau, Mog, Relm), but at many points in the game, you can choose to use whichever ones you please.
This was the first game of the serious where you pack some serious firepower towards the end of the game. Some of the abilities and equipment make the end battles fairly easy, but it doesn't detract from the overall experience at all. It actually is quite satisfying pounding your enemies into oblivion.
In summary, Final Fantasy III is my favorite video game of all-time. I used to make it a tradition to avoid family time and fire up a new game everytime Thanksgiving and complete it by New Year's. I still play the game the whole way through about once per year. It will never lose it's charm to me, and it has my highest recommendation.
