FFIII - Coming to GBA not Wonderswan

well... lookee here!
ok, so FFI and FFII are on the PSOne, and now the world (as far as we know) is getting the remake of the only NES game thats never before been remade: on the gameboy advance : yay! (that makes 3 FF games on the GBA now)

Naturally theres no word of an internation release, but the western world has never seen this game in English before anyways....

Interesting, no doubt the loading times on the psx will be utterly diabolical yet again so I may be forced to purchase the gba version of FFI & FFII.

As for FFIII I really need to present the question "How much of a difference to FFVI is there?" IS it substational enough to buy this?

Im sure you can tell me Artist seeing as your an FFVI guru

ah. its important to know that this is FFIIIj - Final Fantasy IIIj is in fact a completely different game. Its wrong to even title it FFIIIj in the first place. The whole problem is that FF6 was called FF3 in the USA, simply because the series in the US, in the SNES days was much smaller: the REAL FFII, FFIII and FFV. They finally went about rectifying the problem when the Playstation became the Square console: They broke the american numbering by titling FFVII as FFVII, not FFIV, and then re-released a number of titles: FFIV and VI as FFIV and VI, not 2 and 3, 5 was also finally released for the first time.

As for the real (japanese) FFIII, it was a NES game (not a SNES game as FFVI was), and was consequently very different. The story is more of the traditional style: 4 young boys (yes I know... they seemed very sexist in the NES days

) set out to save the crystals and the world. Along the way, FFV style, they aquire job classes which they can switch to gain the relevent abilities. It was this last feature that seems to make it so popular.

i haven't heard the gaming news whilst I was on holiday, so as far as I know FFI and FFII are NOT GBA releases: only PSX.
