    I first played this game way back in 2006 when it came out for the DS. I enjoyed the game so much. It was very outdated even at that time, and 9 years after, it still is. But this exact reason, this could be WHY this game is very suited for hardcore JRPG fans.

    The story is as simple as it can get. There are no check points in dungeon, which means if you die, they you have to start over

    The story is as simple as it can get. There are no check points in dungeon, which means if you die, they you have to start over again. The job system is still solid and great.

    Overall, if you can get over the fact that this game is outdated, then get it. It is a true great adventure and one of the very few RPGs for the DS that I really enjoyed. The price tag is high for an old game like this

    Verdict: Get it if you haven't played this game before and you are a fan of the series

    It's a good game, almost a legend between all Final Fantasy games. BUT, this version is almost de same as the one of Nintendo DS or iPhone/Android phones, no changes made. If you ignore this fact, you'll love the game.

    The old classic deserved a better port. [Aug 2014]

    Going in fully understanding that this is basically a NES game at heart with all that implies, you might be able to endure and find some charm in the classic formula.

    The character depth and story detail might feel somewhat lacking compared to newer JRPG titles, but there is an expansive world here that begs for exploration as you grow your characters for future challenges. The overall package is an easy one to recommend.
