So...doesn't it seem like kind of a crappy way to build a game that you can only unlock certain job classes, items, weapons, and locations by accessing an incredibly complicated and glitchy WiFi network? That having been said, did the whole WiFi network, which rarely has support anywhere, have to be made even MORE complicated with this whole Friend Code nonsense? I guess in Japan, this isn't so hard to come by, seeing as how the entire island nation of Japan is only 145,883 square (lol) miles large? With that many avid RPG gamers on one small island nation, of COURSE it's going to be easy to unlock these features. However, in a country the size of the United States, not to mention the fact that it was incompatible with both PAL and Japanese releases, using the WiFi network to trade friend codes and unlock said features is a MUCH more difficult task.
Frankly, the only way to get a friend code in someplace like the United States is to do one of three things: 1: Run into someone where you're purchasing the game at the EXACT SAME TIME as another person, put them in a headlock, and force them to insert into their DS and get their friend code right then and there; 2: Go online and go to either TFF Forums or GameFAQs Forums and post your friend code on a message board for all to see, and just HOPE that someone decides to add you and you can add them and try to battle the WiFi system to send each other monosyllabic messages (as the letter writing system was a little user unfriendly) and hope that it all works out to your advantage; 3: Do what I did...find a friend with a Nintendo DS, find a GameStop with a used copy of FF III DS for $17.99, borrow your friend's DS, go to said GameStop and purchase the used copy, put it in your friend's DS, and sit there sending yourself letters back and forth over the Nearby Friends Peer to Peer WiFi. The two DS's were literally no more than five inches from each other the entire time I did this. It took me about an hour with turning them both on and off, going to the Mognets, sending the letters, reading them, replying, going outside the towns, saving the games, turning them off, turning them back on, adjusting the times ahead by one hour (I used days), saving the changes, turning them off, turning them back on, starting the games, loading the files, and starting the process all over again. It had to be done seven times on each DS, for a total fourteen individual efforts. But the rewards for all this headache were...well...of dubious worth, at best. I STILL can't seem to get Cid to let me get to the Orichalcum, yet. In fact, I'm just so excited about FF IV coming out for the DS, that I start replaying FF IV Advance just to get myself ready for it. Fun, huh?
Now, if only they could make a functional DS emulator so that I could play the ROM that I downloaded from Japan without my computer having a seizure. I mean, I KNOW it's a complicated system, but SERIOUSLY. That's just annoying.
At any rate, I guess the whole point of this rant is that Friend Codes are the work of the Devil, and anyone who says that they're wonderful must be imbibing some tainted milk from that dodgy bar in Zozo.
Can't Square-Enix get it through their heads that not everyone lives on a small island nation? Can't Square-Enix understand that hidden game content should be available to all who are willing to work their butts off to get to it, not just to those who can communicate easily with others? Not to mention that the WiFi USB port that was out in November for the DS was off the market a month later for patent infringement. A whole MONTH it was out. And then, it was recalled. I should've gotten one, then. Would've made my life easier.
Ciao.

Most likely the friend code is not within your continental region. This is one of the problems with the Mognet system. It won't read friend codes across regional lines, so PAL and JAP codes won't be recognised on US DS systems, and vice versa.
Hope that helps.
