This article and Final Fantasy III (Nintendo DS) should be merged.
For these reasons, I think this article is not notable enough to have a separate page from Final Fantasy III DS. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying "Final Fantasy III as a whole" is a non-notable subject. I'm saying FFIII Famicom itself is not notable as a subject separated from "Final Fantasy III as a whole". Moreover, the merge is a very smooth process here since the Setting, Characters and Story sections of both articles are pretty much the same apart from a few lines in Characters. Merging would definitely benefit the subject as a whole since it would reduce the amount of sections being exactly the same in two different pages. Kariteh ( talk) 08:17, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
Alright, since there is no basis for the argument against the merge, I propose that we revert to the merged version. Kariteh ( talk) 07:45, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
Is there any chance this game will be available to play on Sony Playstation 2? I have heard Squaresoft originally wanted to remake it on the Sony Playstation 2. Please let me know.
Best wishes,

Thanks! A guy can keep hoping though!

Both 2nd and 3rd paragraph talk about the same remake and both begin with talking about its generally good reception. Either merge the paragraphs or figure a better way to transition between paragraphs because right now that line seems redundant. 陣 内 Jinnai 08:05, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
Personally, I think the remake is given undue weight as easily half of the contents of the article discuss the remake (most of the reception section deals with it). If work is done to find someone who can understand Japanese, or if more reviews have popped up recently, it shouldn't hurt the reception very much. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 21:38, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
To me it feels odd that the DS version doesn't have it's own page because of how much they changed in it. I am not all that familiar with the first version but from what I am told (and from evidence i have seen while playing the DS version) they did a lot more than put it into 3D. One main thing they did was add main characters instead of 4 interchangeable people, who you would think would possibly go in a "characters" section. 140.232.179.133 ( talk) 06:02, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
I'm contributing a new screenshot. The old screenshot is okay, but I feel the new one better illustrates how the graphic elements of the combat interface evolved between Final Fantasy II and IV. Also, I don't think Square ever released an English language version of the game for NES. Matt Fitzpatrick ( talk) 11:01, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
It had never been released outside of Japan until a remake was released on the Nintendo DS on August 24, 2006. Until that time, this was the only Final Fantasy game not released in North America or Europe.[8]
As there was a time when other games in the series were unreleased in western regions, I feel that better phrasing might be "At that time, this was the only Final Fantasy game not previously released in North America or Europe.[8]" 202.134.253.55 ( talk) 03:23, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
Acording to Nintendo Europe, http://www.nintendo.co.uk/NOE/en_GB/games/vc/final_fantasy_iii_32100.html, Final Fantasy III is avalible on the VC. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DreamsDreams ( talk • contribs) 14:53, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
I boldly created a new infobox for the DS remake as I felt the main one above became too confusing with all the labels for the two different versions. Prime Blue ( talk) 17:04, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
The page lacks info about the iphone release (ie development, reviews, like this http://wireless.ign.com/articles/115/1157774p1.html ) -- 190.50.181.234 ( talk) 22:51, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
Since there is enough information on both development and reception for the remake, i suggest spliting the article to "Final Fantasy III (2003 video game)". If this has already came up then sorry for wasting everyone's time. Lucia Black ( talk) 02:04, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
How is it content forking if the DS remake proves to be notable on its own? Reception covers significantly on DS version and there is enough development info aswell. Its a completely different media compared to the original? It has its own reception, its own development. There really isnt anymore i need to show to prove DS is a significantly different from the original. Ocarina of time and 3DS version is considered content forking because they share the exact same story? Or Final Fantasy IV (Nintendo DS)?? Lucia Black ( talk) 15:56, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
Is that suppose to be convincing? how exactly is ti harder for others to read? It will make t easier, as ts been established as a different entity of the NES. Lucia Black ( talk) 03:54, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
In an effort to reduce the number of fair use images, I am suggesting that we cut the image used in the lead and replace it with the Nintendo DS box art (or for the sake of console-neutrality, just the logo). The Japanese box art is not an ideal identification method for most English Wikipedia readers, and there exists precedence for the use of a newer cover art in the case of a Japanese-only game being introduced to English for the first time ( Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride). - New Age Retro Hippie (talk) (contributions) 03:49, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
i was wondering if we should add a gameplay comparison of the wonderswan (cancelled) version and the 3D version. Lucia Black ( talk) 00:58, 15 March 2014 (UTC)

@ Judgesurreal777: I want to use either a screenshot of the DS or PSP version. I found this and that. I don't know whether I should use the DS version as the two-screen gameplay is not well implemented, especially in battles (aside from graphic effects). I probably think that it helps readers grasp the 3d effects. -- George Ho ( talk) 08:05, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
