Things I Hate: Final Fantasy III (Nintendo DS)

Despite being “new” to Americans, I didn’t think we missed anything special. Granted the game did jump from this To this, which shows what 20 odd years of technology can do for a game. They could have at least modernized the game-play a little bit. It’s decent at first, but then it just goes into…
