Final Fantasy III was the very first RPG I ever played as a teen, in the early 1990's, and this is why I'm hooked on RPG's to this day!  Before graphics became a bigger deal with the Playstation, more emphasis was put on storyline.  That's why so many fell in love with FFIII, it's excellent, absorbing storyline, and array of characters to play.  I got this to see the newly added movie sequences, and play the other FF game that comes with it.  Once again, storyline makes up for graphics. There are strong female characters in both games. RPGs were the first genre to have female characters worth mentioning, way before Lara Croft was introduced to us all.  I was mainly looking forward to revisiting FFIII for old times sake, but love both games equally now.
