"Final Fantasy 3" is the third Final Fantasy game for the NES platform. It is the last Final Fantasy game that does not use the ATB (active time battle) system (until it was removed again in "Final Fantasy X"). 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. Before the game begins, you give names to the four boys, which look the same (only in different colors) and belong all to the same class. Some minor issues were slightly changed to resemble more the classical Final Fantasy look (such as the menu layout etc.).
In a remote village of Ur, four orphan boys were raised by the priest Topapa. Once, the Crystal of Wind, guarded by the people of Ur, sank deep into the earth. The four boys decided to retrieve it from there and went down into an underground cave. But when they found the crystal, it spoke to them and from its words they understood they were chosen for a much more important and world-embracing mission...... (more)(less)
Release date : 27 April 1990

"This game took forever (16 years!) to get to America, and really we got an entirely new game. Square added a more complex story, characters with personality, and pretty 3D graphics. I wish Square would release a FF1+2 style update to the original!
For English: DS, iOS, PSP (major overhaul)
This release has been fan-translated."
"The third installment was never released outside of Japan on the NES, but an enhanced port did follow many years later for the DS. The plot focuses on four orphaned youths who come across a crystal, which grants them power and instructs them to restore balance to the world."
