This has to be the absolute worst PC-Port I played this year.

Okay, back when I was a child, I played this on my DS and absolutely fell in love with FFIII, it's music and yes, even the aesthetic of the remake. It was my third Final Fantasy after 8 and 7.

So because I finished 5.3 of the Shadowbringers expansion for Final Fantasy 14 lately and got overwhelmed by a wave of nostalgia for FF3 because "Eternal Wind" played all the time, I wanted to go back and play it for a couple of hours to see whether I would still enjoy it.

I bought the steam port of the DS Remake years ago, so naturally I went with this, as I was familiar with this version of the game already. To my disappointment, it turned out that the PC version is an absolute lazy port of the Android Port of the DS Remake. I wouldn't mind the floating PNGs all over the place, if the rest would've worked as it should but the sound quality is absolutely abysmal. After one minute in an area, the music starts crackling really bad to a point, where listening to the in my eyes perfectly alright and at times great soundtrack, is atrocious and gets straining really quickly. I refuse to play this horrible version any longer, even tho I still believe I would've enjoyed at least the first few hours of this game, before it becomes grindy and tedious.
