Are the 3D remakes of Final Fantasy III & IV worth playing, /v/?

Yes

>>714937381 (OP)
I recall playing one of them for like a week off and on. It's was fine. Whichever one it was.

My understanding is no.
But I've only played the "patched" GBA port of 4 and the recent pixel remaster version of 3 and they were fine. Nothing that made me say "wow I wish this was in 3d"

III? No. IV? Yes, but only after you've played one of the "regular" versions first. You'll enjoy it more since it kind of does its own thing.

>>714937381 (OP)
3 is supposed to be harder i dont know if it is the same for the other

>>714937381 (OP)
Play the PSP version of 4.

>>714937381 (OP)
I always look up the best version to play, before I start them and I think 3 is the 3d version.

IV remake has its differences, but if you were to only play FFIV once, I say the remake. It amps up the difficulty and gives you a relic skill system to customize your characters a little.

>>714937598
This. Honestly, the 3d version of IV is the best version, but it's not suited for a first time playthrough. And not only because it's way harder than any of the 2d ones.

>>714937714
It's "harder" in that every boss in the game gets to attack twice in one turn, often leading to bullshit deaths because the same character got attacked twice in a row.

Outside of that it's actually easier.

>>714937381 (OP)
Absolutely, though see them as different games. For FFIV, there are so many versions you can go for - I'd recommend FFVI for PSP, Ultima for SNES (a fanhack) and DS. The 3D version is much harder than the other official versions of the game, but PSP has the most content. Ultima is a great senpai rebalance of the SNES version with a shitton of new bosses and content. Ignore the FFII version (original localized version) and the PS1 ver.

For FF3, you only really have 3 versions. NES, PR and the DS version. They're all worth playing as FF3 is great in all versions.

>>714939254
>FFIV for PSP
Oops, fixed.

3 no, 4 yes

>>714939103
I found that I needed to use mass slow on regular encounters as well in the remake while I could just mash attack in the regular version.

they are respectively the best and second-best versions of ff3 and ff4. pixel remaster ff3 is a tragedy, unfortunately. but DS FF3 is pure kino if you can get past the sometimes absurd difficulty

Why is Refia such a slut?

>>714937381 (OP)
It's the worst version of FF3

>>714939546
She has to have the sluttiest outfits. How else are you supposed to know she's female?
love me some scholar refia and ninja refia

>>714939612
filtered? let me guess, garuda?

>>714939641
They textured her buttcrack even

>>714939708
i fucking kneel. i've never used thief refia i dont like thief

>>714937381 (OP)
I fucking hate how slow fights are in the DS version of 3

>>714939769
there's a cheat engine script that lets you use any job outfit

it might not be the best but I have a very soft spot for FF3 and is one of my favourites, even if the 3D remake sucks or 5 does jobs better or yadda yadda. loved the DS version as a teen and it's still a regular 'brain off while watching a TV show' game for me. no heavy story to concentrate on, just pure JRPG gaming for the sake of it.

>>714939641
>filtered? let me guess, garuda?
I beat it, it's still the worst version. Job sickness is ass and removes any incentive to experiment with different jobs.
The only place where I struggled was the final stretch anyway

>>714937381 (OP)
>3
IIRC it's fine to play the 3d version but anything's fine. The 3D aditions are just story entries for the charactrers so take it or leave it
>4
4 3D was re balanced and is difficult which can be really enjoyable. If you dont want it to be a cakewalk play that, otherwise play PSP/pixel remaster

>>714939970
Having a few subpar battles that you can piss away on filler fights is awful, you're right. Much better with capacity and how it worked in the original where you can just brick your character by experimenting with jobs, retard-kun.

>get access to a ship that lets you travel anywhere in the game
>head north into an interesting looking tower
>instantly die in a cutscene with no warning

Great faithful remake square

>>714937381 (OP)
III no. IV yes, but not if you haven't played IV before because it's intentionally way harder.
>>714939612
This. There's only what, 3 enemies max per encounter? Also the music is bad.

>>714940091
It's almost like artificially limiting the player being able to change jobs while also requiring it for gimmick fights and dungeons is terrible design. It's almost like FF3 is shit no matter which version you play

>>714937598
>>714938929
Here are your answers, OP. The 3D remake of IV is really good.

>>714937381 (OP)
I loved III

The DS version of FFIII was the first JRPG I ever played. Didn't really know what I was doing. I remember grinding a lot.

>>714937598
Does it change up the story or something?

>>714940663
A lot of minor gameplay changes, that end up adding up to a very different game

Where's the sign tapper when you need him?

i enjoyed 3 on DS. Crystal Tower was stressful but made me feel alive. music and opening cutscene are nice too.

>>714939389
FF3 is stupid bullshit by the end of the game. In crystal tower and the earth tower place regular enemies become stupid strong and in the crystal tower you get zero save places so if you die in like the dark dimension you get sent back 1-2 hours.
