Final Fantasy 3 ⭐⭐⭐⭐
I'm sorry, you had an airship built by Cid, using a literal ancient artifact, a perpetual motion machine and you just kinda...forget it?!
Actually, throughout the whole game you burn through a bunch of flying ships. You'll have a total of 4 in the game, even though two survive the story.
The map is much better. When I accidentally flew off the flying continent and saw the actual world map was actually surprising! I loved it. Even though the new land area had basically the same amount of POIs as the flying continent, it was nice to see such an expansive world.
I liked the job system, even though it felt like there were too many, nor was I really sure if one was better than the other. I fell to having a Knight, Bard, Geomancer, Blackbelt line up. The bard provided free healing, and everyone else could just pound the enemy relentlessly. I do love my auto-battle setups.
I really wanted to use the sage, because catgirl, but even with the "ultimate forbidden healing staff" that you get another one of in a random chest, it only cast Cure and couldn't keep up, where as the bards song was healing 800+ per turn.
I loved the ending, where you team up with the Warriors of Dark (who had to defeat the rampaging light long ago). It's not a good vs evil story, it's a hope vs void tale. I liked it.
And the final boss sprite art, stunning.
