SQUARE ENIX Co.,Ltd.

About this game

When darkness falls and the land is robbed of light, four youths are chosen by the crystals to embark upon a journey to save the world.

FINAL FANTASY III was the first title in the FINAL FANTASY series to become a million-seller, establishing once and for all that Square Enix's classic RPG saga was here to stay.

A hallmark of innovation for the entire series, FINAL FANTASY III incorporates not only a job system that lets characters change classes at any time to the ability to summon powerful creatures such as Shiva and Bahamut.

The 3D remake of FINAL FANTASY III, with fully-rendered 3D graphics, duplicated the original's success.

- The four protagonists have been completely redesigned and new scenarios have been added.

- The 3D remake has really brought the cutscenes and battles to life.

- The Job system has been improved to bring out its best and most unique aspects, resulting in a more balanced game that is easy to enjoy.

- New save functions, including autosave, allow for players to quit the game at any time without fear of losing their progress.

--------------------------------------------
Aditionally, the smartphone version has been improved to include the following:

- High resolution graphics and retouched cutscenes.

- Smooth, intuitive touch-panel controls specifically tailored to improve the gaming experience.

- Gallery Mode, where players can view illustrations from the game or listen to the soundtrack, has been added.

- New visual designs for the Job Mastery Cards and the Mognet.

Ratings and reviews

This app is quite literally a port of the DS version of Final Fantasy III, which itself was a port of the original Japan-only Nintendo game. As far as ports of ports go, this one is better, with more intuitive touch controls and no useless Mognet "feature". The third installment in the Final Fantasy series is from early in the life of the franchise, which means that both the story and the gameplay are quite rudimentary. The job system is lots of fun, adding a level of strategy and replayability.

This was as well-done as I could have hoped, for a mobile port of Final Fantasy. The touch controls are totally fine, and easy to get used to, but the app does support using a controller instead, if you want. It has two options for different button configurations if you do. The graphics look pretty good, for what they are. I personally would prefer clean 2D graphics over the blocky 3D ones that it has. But I really enjoyed the game and played it all the way through. Lots of fun.

I have been a fan of Final Fantasy for more than 2 decades now, and love nearly all the entries. I have invested much time and money into Square(Enix), and was excited to get this fantastic remake. I highly recommend this to anyone who's a fan....but there's just one problem. The Google market keeps saying there's a rather nice size update for this, and every time I go to download it, I get an error 911 message. What gives?
