Final Fantasy III

Final Fantasy III

Released1990
Final Fantasy III is the third FF game for the Famicom. The turn-based battle engine has been improved: if the enemy is defeated, the next character will automatically switch to another enemy, and not hit the air, like in the previous two games. The game itself is, like the previous games, a top-down RPG where your characters travel in the overworld, sometimes entering cities and dungeons to buy equipment, rest and fight random encounters and bosses with turn-based combat. Final Fantasy III also introduces various series staples, such as the Job system and the Moogle species.

About This Game

Four orphaned boys grow up under the care of Topapa, a priest in the secluded village of Ur, unaware of their destined role in a much larger conflict. When the Wind Crystal—an artifact long safeguarded by their community—mysteriously sinks beneath the earth, the youths venture into the depths to recover it. Upon discovering the sunken crystal in the cavern below, they receive a startling revelation: the relic speaks to them, imparting knowledge that they have been chosen for a grand quest that extends far beyond their remote village and threatens the fate of the entire world.
