Final Fantasy III
Best: Introducing the job system
Final Fantasy III introduced what would become one of the series’ mainstays: the job system. This allows players to change their classes throughout their journey, and really customize your team and strategies. It paved the way for similar takes like Final Fantasy X-2’s Dressphere mechanic, or the entire structure of Final Fantasy XIII’s Paradigm Shift battle systems. It’s incredibly influential, which makes it all the more sad that…
Worst: It’s pretty unremarkable
Despite introducing the job system, Final Fantasy III hasn’t left a huge impression on the series’ community over the years. The game was remade for the Nintendo DS, but beyond that, it mainly just exists as a thing Square packages on its various collections.
