I need someone who is currently playing this (Friendcode) since one of the requisites for a sidequest is sending messages to people over wi-fi.

I am 013016880331

Incidentally, I don't get how people say this game sucks so bad. I am having tons of fun with it (Bearing in mind it's still ATB and all that shit)
I like the way they did the magic system for than regular MP (Was it like this too in the old FF3?) and I like the fact shops give you discount for bulk shopping.

I think everyone (myself included) loves this game for about five hours or so but it gets really slow and really dull as you continue through the game. The class system really doesn't ever reward you for doing anything than making your entire party a bunch of Black Belts and never changing them so you are punished for exploring the game's primary feature.

I would help you out because I don't have the game anymore. However if I recall there are alternative means to getting the secret classes and stuff you want that do not involve moogle mail. Try a FAQ?

I'm not sure how the DS version does it, but I presume it's the same as in the original. Namely, there are certain "levels" of magic, and every level has a certain amount of MP. So while you might be able to cast a low-level magic like Fire 7 times, you might only be able to cast Fire2 3 times. Bulk shopping was in the original too.

It wasn't like this in the original. True, using Monks did mean you'd get an extra HP boost after every level-up, but it's not really recommended to use a party of four Monks, especially at the beginning of the game. It's possible, though. But not very easy.

Yeah I seem to recall that FFIII is about your favorite game ever but you have not played the DS version? In the DS version you don't get permanent boosts to your stats when you level up and rather they are linked to job classes. So when you get new jobs, if you switch to them your stats will take an enormous penalty. It quickly becomes apparrent that if you just stick with the tank classes you get early in the game, you will hit job level 99 well before the end and be pretty much invincible.

I haven't because pirating games is bad and people who infringe on other people's copyright should be shot in the street.

Seriously, though, since there's no real way to emulate the game without losing part of the experience (the sound's kind of messed up, and it's rather slow) I'd rather wait a while longer. I don't think I'll buy a Nintendo DS just for one game.

Final Fantasy III is, in my opinion, the best game made for the NES, and I'm a huge fan of NES games. Unfortunately I've only played that game on an emulator, too.

I thought the game was ok. I only got about halfway through it though, then it started getting repetitive.

Well, you could buy a NDS with an R4 card... Then you can just download both DS and GBA roms.
