Final Fantasy III

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL GAME

A millennium after the cataclysmic War of the Magi, when magic nearly erased humanity, the world has embraced technology, until the ominous Empire plots to resurrect the arcane forces it once feared. Deep in the frozen mines of Narshe, relics of an otherworldly Esper awaken hope and terror alike. Three imperial soldiers are dispatched to claim this power for the Emperor, but when a young recruit unwittingly bonds with the Esper, she ignites a chain of events that threaten to unleash magic’s devastating potential. Only a courageous band of rebels and unlikely heroes stand between the Empire’s fanatical ambition and the world’s last chance at peace.
Originally released as Final Fantasy VI, and known as Final Fantasy III in the West, the game invites players into a richly woven RPG adventure featuring the iconic Active Time Battle system. Guide a versatile cast through shifting perspectives, mastering weapons, items, and unique combat skills while summoning Espers to teach new magic and bolster character strengths. With its blend of linear storytelling in the first half and liberating, non-linear exploration in the second, every journey feels personal. Modern re-releases expand the experience further: the PlayStation edition adds stunning FMV sequences, bestiary entries, and art galleries, while the Game Boy Advance, mobile, and PC versions deliver bonus dungeons, new bosses, Espers, gear, and more enhancements.
