I actually liked final fantasy 3. You want slow battles play pokemon pearl. Final fantasy 3 was decent paced I felt though the multitude of slashing animations could have been taken out. The stylus navigation made grinding so much easier. The story was much improved over the original. It is a nice simple story. I found it refreshing considering how convoluted the newer final fantasies are.
FF3 is a good game for the DS. Maybe not a must buy but it isn't a waste of money.
I wish you could battle other people though. It would give me incentive to go back and grind some more. I believe I have all the master smith cards though. I spent a lot of time with that game. It was worth it.
