Final Fantasy 3 for the Nintendo DS is a remake of the title created in 1990 for the Famicon console. It was published by Square Enix in 2006 for Japan and North America and in 2007 for Europe. The story revolves around four orphaned youths drawn to a crystal of light. The crystal grants them some of its power, and instructs them to go forth and restore balance to the world. Not knowing what to make of the crystal's pronouncements, but nonetheless recognizing the importance of its words, the four inform their adoptive families of their mission and set out to explore and bring back balance to the world.

The Nintendo DS version brings some vast improvements on the first Famicon title. The base job for your character is entitled Freelancer, and not Onion Knight, which is now a secret job class. Also, a new crystal and missions are introduced in this handheld version. Jobs will be useful during the whole game, without forcing the player to change classes according to missions. The ultimate jobs, the Ninja and the Sage, and some of the lesser-used like the Geomancer were redesigned to have the same level of abilities as the Warrior. Also, if you change jobs, a small period of “job accommodation” follows, in which your battle stats are affected for a limited time.

This version of the game also takes advantage of the Wi-Fi features of the Nintendo DS and offers the players a Mail/Mognet feature which is similar to the one found in Final Fantasy IX. Gamers have the possibility to send emails to other players and characters from the game. These emails can also unlock several side quests, which help unlock secret classes.

HINTS

Easy Gil

Go to the Town Of The Ancients and talk to the child two stories up the grass hills. He is back behind the stairs. He will tell you that he will give you a prize if you ride around the continent. Leave town and go east a bit. Get a Chocobo and ride around the outside of the continent. Go back and talk to the child for your rewards. Sell them, then repeat.
 
Spells replaced by items

You can use certain items instead of spells if you run out of MP. For example, if your Black Mage wants to use Fire but is out of MP, go to the item screen and use the item Fire Staff. This seems to work only if your character is able to equip the item that is being used. Also, not all items work. Items that work include the Ice Staff, Fire Staff, Light Staff, and Salamd Sword.

Free Mini spell for party

After you get dropped out of the dragon's nest, go to the area with the spring and the gnome. Talk to him and he will give you a Mini. However, you can talk to him again and get one for all of your party members.
