Thanks for the review. Though still a little rough around the edges like its predecessors, Final Fantasy III was where the series figured out what it wanted to be. The job system, and even tropes like floating continents and the Onion Knight, debuted here and remain with the franchise. FF III marked the moment when all the science-fantasy influences gelled into a whole greater than the sum of their parts.
Tl; dr: If not for FF III, we wouldn't have FFs V, Tactics, or IX.

There is something special about the Famicom version - the sound and the colors, and even the bugs, are part of the experience.
