ABOUT THE ORIGINAL GAME

Step into the remote village of Ur, where four orphaned boys raised by the kindly priest Topapa uncover a destiny tied to the legendary Crystal of Wind. When the crystal speaks, these humble youths learn they’ve been chosen for a world-embracing quest that will test their courage, wit, and bond. As Final Fantasy III on NES, the third installment in the acclaimed saga, you’ll experience a richly woven story, memorable characters, and an enhanced turn-based battle engine that automatically switches targets after each defeat, making every encounter smoother and more strategic.
Customize your adventure by naming your scrawny Onion Kid heroes before unlocking a robust job system that lets you transform them into Fighters, Black Mages, Shamans, and more as you earn Capacity Points in battle. Traverse a vibrant top-down overworld, delve into dungeons, visit bustling cities to buy gear, and champion epic boss fights, all while enjoying refined menus and a classic Final Fantasy look. With endless class combinations and strategic depth, Final Fantasy III delivers timeless role-playing magic that’s as fresh today as it was on its NES debut.
