FFIIIj wonderswan

[Final Fanatic]

Was FFIIIj released for the wonderswan colour, like it says on the games list?
I can't find it anywhere

It was developed partially, but never actually released.

See here for more details. One can only assume that, with the fall of the WonderSwan Color, the game was just pushed aside. There never was an official announcement of its cancellation.

Isn't there any beta version avaidable?

Google may be your friend on this one, but the WSC failed quite some time ago and I havent heard any news of any new releases lately. If they started it, then theres *always* chance for a ROM to be out there ~ just gotta spot it my friend.

All I can really say.

Wow, I've never heard of this WonderSwan.

Its cool how on internet forums I learn about new systems every day.

Just last week I heard about this thing called the Commodore 64.

It would be cool to play FFIIIj without that crappy graphics but what can I do...since I don't own a ds and it's to much money to pay for such handheld...

um... did you just say.... CRAPPY GRAPHICS!!!

sir, i'm not sure how much you've been spoiled by games since the 8-bit days, but after playing FFI, II, and III on the NES i will come out and directly say to you that FFIIIj's graphics are INCREDIBLE compared to what had previously been done on the system. there are tons and tons of tilesets, the monsters have a sort of black outline around them that they never had before, the overworld mountains are actually mountains instead of bizarre white blobs, there's an underwater world tileset with floating bubbles, there's a floating continent you get to blast off of, a gigantic castle town 10 times bigger than any city yet in a final fantasy game up to that point, not to mention all the job/weapon animations. i can't believe they fit it all onto one cart!

the thought of playing it with 16 bit graphics DoS style is enticing - but hey, 3D on the DS is good enough for me

I agree compltely with what he just said and I was actually turned off by the DS version's graphics. I have played FF3j and think the graphics are just fine.

Terribly sorry, didn't know u were such a huge fan of it and yes, the graphics were advance for the time they were created. I'm just used to play FF's with much better graphics like FFXII.
I'm now playing FFIIIj in the NES emulator for my PS2, the story is really cool, but it would be nice to play with better graphics, that's all

hehe - i got what you were saying, i was just being an 8-bit elitist ass . if you like modern FF graphics and FFIIIj then you need a Nintendo DS badly. i personally prefer the blocky bliss of NES final fantasies - but FFIIIDS is pretty incredible looking and fairly faithful to the original. the exp curve and job abilities have been tweaked a little bit - but it's not dumbed down the was FFI+IIDoS were.

[Final Fanatic]

Do u know where can I get the wsc beta, anyway?
Looked everywhere, can't find it

[LocoColt04]

While talking about emulation is fine and dandy, remember, it IS an illegal act, and if we were to tell you where to find the ROM files, we would be providing you with said illegal content -- and that's against forum policy.

My advice? Google.
