FINAL FANTASY III

Four young adventurers are chosen by a crystal and sent to restore the balance between light and darkness. Their journey leads them across a widening fantasy world as they seek the crystals and confront threats to its balance.

Explore towns, an expansive world map, and dungeons while fighting monsters in turn-based battles. Change each party member’s job to take on different roles and abilities, and use magic and transformations such as Mini to overcome some obstacles.

New crystals unlock additional jobs, and characters develop through both character levels and job proficiency. This 2D remaster includes updated pixel graphics and audio, plus options such as auto-battle, encounter toggles, experience multipliers, and supplemental galleries and a bestiary.

In the supplied reviews, players who enjoyed the game often highlight the freedom to customize the party through its job system, the soundtrack, and the sense of discovery as the world expands. Some also appreciate the remaster’s pixel presentation and convenience options. Criticism most often centers on the lightly developed heroes and story, with some players also finding job changes restrictive or the late-game difficulty demanding.
