Final Fantasy III / 3 DS - Spiras Destiny

Final Fantasy III DS

Final Fantasy III DS is an enhanced remake of the 1990 Japan only Nintendo Famicom RPG title for the Nintendo DS created by Square Enix. Final Fantasy 3 DS is actually the first official release Final Fantasy III has seen outside of Japan.

The remake of Final Fantasy III was already in development and was considered to be a PlayStation 2 title , also some consoles had been mentioned as a possible format, in the end Square Enix decided to bring the game to the Nintendo DS, by the commercial success of the Nintendo DS this was a wise decision indeed.

The Final Fantasy III remake was announced to be in development on October 7, 2004, ofcourse detailed information did not emerge until a year later which is expected from titles such as this. Hiromichi Tanaka, one of the main designers of the Nintendo Famicom version, directed the project as both the executive producer and main director, Tanaka's guidance and supervision were needed because the remake of Final Fantasy III was not a mere graphical update as previous port updates including Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy II's, but this was a total overhaul using the Nintendo DS's 3D capabilities. Some old features which will not be completely changed, are the he layout's of the dungeons and towns, as they will closely match the original. Along with 3D graphics, a full motion video "FMV" opening scene has been made for the game, similar to those found in the ports of the 2D Final Fantasy games for the PlayStation. The game also has a mognet system where players can visit other players worlds online and trade items.
