Final Fantasy III is the first 'Proper' FF game I've completed - However I'd completed the 3D remake on the DS so it was nice to go back to the pixel style original.
III is marginally better than it's predecessor - it ditches the individual weapon/magic level-ups by how much you use them in favour of a 'Job' system and weapons now just affect stats and don't need to be levelled.
It also has a better and more fleshed out story and is the longest out of the original three games with a bigger world map, too. Although I wish they'd kept some of the depth the 3D remake added - infact that's my biggest complaint. There's definitely things the 3D remake did that were left out (I know it's to go back to the 'true' NES release, but, these improvements would have helped so much.)
