Released as Final Fantasy III for the SNES in 1994, it is actually the 6th installment of the immensely popular Final Fantasy series produced by Squaresoft. Theoretically one could replay the game several times and have a very different experience. This one was equally as huge as its sequel, and had just as amazing graphics for its time.

The only reason the game is not getting a 10 rating in this department is the fact that while leveling characters is not a problem in the beginning and middle of the game, once a character reaches the higher levels (above 60) it becomes a very time consuming, tedious process to level up the character sometimes taking hours upon hours to raise a character just one level.

Sometimes playing RPG on the computer you may suddenly want to act the way not offered by the plot of the game. The majority of such games owe to simplistic software development kits such as the Japanese RPG Maker series. As far as games for the SNES go, there are only 1 or 2 other games as engrossing as Final Fantasy III.

With more than 200 hours of gameplay here, count on playing for days on days. There are very few games that can be left to sit for years on a shelf and then picked up and played again with the same level of commitment and enjoyment as Final Fantasy III.

The original PlayStation system was one of the best selling consoles of all time but there are many games for the system that are hard to find. For example, I can tell you from my own experience that once I started the game as a guard (pure RPG adventure) and finished as an emperor (RPG+tactics+strategy). While the Action RPG gamer will find this game very repetitive, the fan of the Turn Based style RPG gamer will love it.

Also an adventure quest RPG can be a MMORPG, which stand for massive multiplayer online role-playing game, which is played online, and you interact with many other people in a virtual world. The graphics are incredible, the characters hilarious and deeply involving, and the story arresting.

The best in the series with the possible exception of Suikoden II, Suikoden III tells the story of a huge cast of characters, all intricately entwined with one another. These were followed by (but did not always lead directly to) games on other platforms, such as Akalabeth (1980) (which gave rise to the well-known Ultima series), and Wizardry.

The PlayStation is widely-regarded as the console that brought RPG games to the mainstream, and this appraisal is well deserved. There are three races the player character can be: human, elf, and dwarf. I loved this game back in the days on the SNES and the idea to bring the 16-bit Final Fantasies to the GBA made me as happy as can be. This was a game I love to play, but feel goofy loading into my PS2 and sitting down to play.

The same classic Ys gameplay is intact, overland map, onscreen battles and fun little characters in a charming, if simple story. Massive Multiplayer Online RPGs (MMORPG) introduced huge worlds with open-ended gameplay and thousands of interactive characters (both player and computer-controlled).

The player can rename all of the characters in the game including the ever present summons (called Espers in FFIII). The story, like any Atlus game is the real selling point and actually got me to play through it twice. Having a female as the main character in the game is a concept that was not used very much prior to Final Fantasy III.

Final Fantasy VIII was another wondrous achievement from the magicians at Square, and was just as influential as the games that came before it. The first Final Fantasy to feature realistically-proportioned characters, VIII also had one of the most mature and entertaining stories to be found in an RPG.

The gaming market is monstrous. Final Fantasy III is one of what many consider to be the classics for RPG genre games.

If you are a fan of the Final Fantasy series, a collector of vintage games, or a person who is interested in getting involved in the series but is worried about the complexity of the newer Final Fantasy titles, this game is for you.
