Final Fantasy III

I was blown away by how well the Famicom hardware handles that deep job system—switching classes mid-game changes everything. The music and dungeon designs really pull you into the story for such an old cartridge.

The job system alone kept me hooked for weeks—switching classes mid-game changes how you approach every boss fight. The story pulls you along so smoothly that I barely noticed the simple attack/block commands until I was already 30 hours in.

I was genuinely surprised how deep the story gets for such an old Famicom cartridge—the simple combat menu makes the focus stay on the plot. The job system adds so much replay value, too, even if swapping classes mid-battle feels clunky now.
