Final Fantasy Evolution (part II)

Well now that Final Fantasy III is over, I should take some time to jot down some ideas about how Final Fantasy evolved. It's hard to say what evolved because so much is redone in the 2007 DS version, but I will note some major differences. Recall what was added in Final Fantasy II:
  1. Ultima (magic)
  2. snow craft (vehicle)
  3. temporary party members (people come and go)
  4. Chocobos
  5. Cid as the air-ship maker/owner
  6. Aura, Osmosis, Drain (spells)
  7. Dragoons
  8. Bows and Spear class weapons
Here are some additions in Final Fantasy III:
  1. New Job Classes: Thief, Ranger, Scholar, Geomancer, Viking, Dark Knight, Evoker, Bard, Magus, Devout, Summoner, Sage, and Ninja.
  2. First appearance of Mog and Moogle
  3. Ragnarok Sword
  4. Use of Mini and Toad in the story-line
  5. NPC's that join in the battle
  6. New Weapon classes: Throwing weapons, Books, Harps, hammer, and bell.
  7. Ability to change job classes, and job class levels
  8. Meteor Spell
  9. Ability for Summons
  10. Summons: Chocobo, Shiva, Ifrit, Ramuh, Titan, Odin, Leviathan, and Bahamut.
