I may get some heat for saying this but I liked FF3 better, but only slightly. It is a great game that has every elements to be one of the greatest epics of all time.The graphics are not the best but when you begin your quest it hardly matters.
You control a dark knight who, after many rampages, has "seen the light".Now he starts to question the kings motives and is ousted from his post.This is where the real journey begins.
The story is very complex and you meet other people during your travel.It is more than 10 I know for sure.During diffrent stages of the game people leave and come. It just depends on where you are at.
There are hidden items and weapons galore.This makes for a tremendous replay value.The music is also nice and captivating.The game is long which gives you more bang for your buck!
Overall the game is one of the greatest to ever grace a system.If you are able to find this game then get it quick.As with FF3 the game is kind of rare and will be expensive, however it will be well worth it once you become immersed in the Fantasy setting world.
