My hours in this game are a little weird because although it's far beyond any other FF game I own on steam and most other games for that matter, it's solely because I'm a stubborn person who really wants the last achievement to get lv99 in all jobs which is easily the biggest grind in a video game I have ever done (removing all other content I'd say this extra grind alone was at least 150 or so hours).

That aside, this is for me definitely the worst final fantasy game from I to X. Bland characters, boring story beats, uninteresting story, ridiculous grinding no matter how good you are at RPGs and a pretty clunky port of this game to boot. Would never in my life recommend III to anyone looking to get into the series--I'd only recommend it if you've played every FF game that interested you and you just HAD to complete your journey through the games.

V, for example, is much much better in every possible regard and has a similar lighthearted tone to its storyline. Essentially a direct upgrade to this game.
