I absolutely hate it when politicians strive to remove "indecent" things from the reach of children. It's always there, you can't stop it, and why would you want to? Not to mention the government legislating morality is completely sick. I would love to vote for Al Gore if only his wife weren't Tipper Gore *shiver*

" It's always there, you can't stop it, and why would you want to? "
Did I really read that?
Are you seriously asking why someone would want to keep "indecent material" from their young children?

Meh, I guess young children, but keeping someone completely sheltered is never a good idea, IMO. Of course the worst of the worst in all areas of indecency (hate that word) should be kept out of homes, but when a kid enters their teen years, it's a practice in futility. I basically saw everything that could be seen when I was 12, and I doubt most parents can do much about it without putting their kids in a stranglehold. The problem is not a single exposure, but repeated exposure without discussing or shedding light on the negative effects.

Most of the problem is idiot parents. From what I observe from my little brother and sister, is that the parents don't understand what the games contain. I agree that the ESRB should be regulated and that they need more disclosure from developers. A lot of parents just buy those games blindly, just to shut the kid up. Vendors should be forced to tell parents what the game contains to the parents so that they could make a rational decision.
Felony charges just a tad harsh, I would have suggested huge fines or something like that. |

Is that FFIII or FF VI?
FFIII in Japan is a different game to FFVI in America and Europe. Basically, is it the one with Kefka in? |

Here is a history of FFIII,shamelessly lifted from GameFaqs:
Final Fantasy III. It would be no exaggeration to say that the series would be
nowhere without it. Just about every basic element of other FF games comes from FFIII. It also wasn't until 1990, the year FFIII was released in Japan, that Square had the funds to export one of it's best-sellers, Final Fantasy. Final Fantasy II was also being translated for a later release. Then the Super Famicom happened, launching Nintendo into the realm of 16-bit. Final Fantasy II and possibly III were cancelled in the US and FFIV was released instead, as, ironically, Final Fantasy II. The fifth installment in the quickly growing series was also never released stateside, but the sixth was released as Final Fantasy III a few years later. By the time they reached the seventh, Square decided to redo the numbering and release Final Fantasy VII as... Final Fantasy VII. There is a point to this tale. Suddenly, there was a huge hole in a series many gamers had grown up with. As a solution, when Final Fantasy I and II were remade for the WonderSwan Color, an abysmal failure of a handheld that never had much popularity. Those versions were ported to Sony's new PlayStation as a compilation called Final Fantasy Origins, which was released in the US with proper titles. A little while before, IV, V, and VI were re-released on compilation discs as well, but only as ports of the original SFC versions. If you know how to count, you'll see the gap. Final Fantasy III, being the power-hungry beast that it is, was too difficult to port without a complete reprogram, due to coding that only ran on the Famicom. The WonderSwan port was abandoned, so the possible PSX port also died before conception. The end result was that FFIII was never going to be ported to a new system, which wasn't a problem in Japan, it was a beloved classic. 2004, Nintendo announces the DS, it's latest handheld. The now merged Square-Enix jumps on the bandwagon and announces Final Fantasy III. No more news until 2005, when the development progress is slowly revealed, full 3D, not sprite based. Fans go wild. "Finally! Kefka in 3D!" More news. The original FFIII, not FFVI which was released as FFIII the first time. It is revealed to be a complete reprogram, with extra storyline elements and four hero characters with distinct personalities. Time passes slowly as fans anticipate a release... 2006, August 24, released in Japan. The entire country stops and runs to the nearest game store. 2006, November 14, released in the US. Reviewers expect the Hope Diamond but get a different kind of gem. Sucks to be them. You, however, assuming you actually have the game now, are in for one of the greatest RPGs of all time. _________________________
It's an awesome RPG,I highly recommend it. Edited by TheProgtologist - June 04 2007 at 21:51 |

Ah, so it's the original FFIII and not FFVI, but in 3D?
I'm confused.  Fortunately, I have played both in Snes format, as well as VI in PlayStation format (they also released I and II as Legends). So, what's it like Jody? |

You're missing out I'd say, some of the "Nintendo Franchise" stuff is brilliant, but I digress. If you're a fan of old-OLD-school RPGs, like Wizardry, or maybe Rogue/nethack/etc, check out Izuna and Etrian Odyssey. Advance Wars is also f**king brilliant, and if you can find it, Mazes of Fate (for GBA, playable on DS) is a lost gem. Etrian Odyssey is definitely one to go for first, though, most definitely. |

I have it also and enjoy it very much !!!
Don't know about you, but I also like Superman Returns (The Game) though a bit less than Ultimate Spider-Man or Incredible Hulk : Ultimate Destruction because it get repetitive. Nice game nonetheless.
