I adore the DS-version and count it as one of my fave games. The only thing I missed was the Lunar Ruins-dungeon. I was so looking forward to see Yang fighting gazillion 3D-monks.

Some of you say that the difficulty of the DS-version makes it less fun, but to me it was more fun and challenging. I always level a bit ahead in FF-games when entering new places, so the game wasn't really difficult. I only had a little problem when fighting Golbez in the Dwarven Castle. Besides, the augments make up for the difficulty. Like if you give Rosa Doublecast, she can save your butt countless times. (I must also praise Rosa for her upgraded Pray-skill, it was more than useful when leveling up.)
