FINAL FANTASY III

This game has some issues with the control scheme, such as an imperfect virtual D-pad and tap controls not working in hidden passages at all. There is also no controller support. Fortunately there is an auto save feature, but it's easy to miss and I did miss it for quite some time. Overall though, the game is extremely good, spectacular music and animations and the gameplay is as good as ever even if there is some rebalancing.

Passive Aggressive Fantasy

I get that this game happens before parts one and two, but the airships’ limited mobility just kills me. And then there are the quests you have to do in mini size. Or where you need to turn into frogs. This just all felt really passive aggressive. Still, this game is better than ff2, and there are a number of things here that return in part 5. I kind of like that there are so many jobs, but it kind of feels like cheating sometimes. Last thing: tap mode doesn’t work with secret doors, so that’s kind of irritating. The ninjas are way too overpowered, which makes the end game too easy.

Fun Factor: 8 Overall Score: 66% Letter Rating: B Final Fantasy III offers a unique and nostalgic adventure with a simple, yet groundbreaking job system that I adore. Even with its deep flaws such as its pacing issues, its lackluster story, and its forgettable characters, its pros easily outshine its cons. With so many highlights, Final Fantasy III is still a magical adventure that’s worth a playthrough due to its phenomenal customization, beautiful soundtrack, and stunning atmosphere.

- Brighton Nelson · v1.1.0

I played the pixel remastered 1 and 2. playing this one has to be the hardest most annoying entry yet. There have been days where I would do nothing but grind the first half just to get demolished the second half no matter how long I grind for. there are (In my opinion) too many jobs. I would let one character attack all enemies to get these job levels but unlike ff2 actual character levels did something. When I got an airship character level at 42+ was a must because the difficulty inclined x4

Dear Game Developers: I'm playing a single-player, offline game. Why does the digital world still demand that I hold its hand with a constant internet connection?

- Guilherme Ribeiro do Valle Nogueira · v1.2.2

I'm writing this review before finishing the game. I'll finish this for sure but the stuttering problem needs to be mentioned now. This is really annoying and I don't have this problem at all with the previous two Pixel Remasters. EDIT: I've finished the game and I enjoyed it very much despite the occasional stutters. The job system is a bit too much though. Too many jobs are unnecessary. The characters are generic but at least they have some kind of story unlike in the first game.

Great remaster for the original Final Fantasy. While it doesn't have the bonus content from the DS era and beyond, it does well in perfecting the original JRPG experience and adapting it to a mobile device. It stands out from the rest of the pixel remaster series in that it allows the English audience to play an official 2D release for the very first time

- kaonohiokala09 · v1.1.0

Make sure you save often or the app will restart if it has been idle in the background for more than an hour.

- Nhoj Ekbul · v1.1.0

Excellent Version

Though the pixel remaster doesn’t have the bonus content FF3’s bonus content was essentially non existent. This is the best version of FF3 out there.

- Jmc9600 · v1.1.0

Not Optimized

Not optimized for iPhone 15. The island is in the way and is over text. Also, you cannot customize controls unlike in the switch version. The game itself is great, just missing features considering the price.

- CatCollector1983 · v1.1.0

While I prefer the PlayStation Portable and Game Boy Advance versions of the other classic Final Fantasy titles as the definitive ports, the Final Fantasy III (the 2D version) never got enhanced ports on those platforms, WonderSwan, or PlayStation 1, so among the Pixel Remasters from what I seen and compared to other versions so far, the Pixel Remaster of Final Fantasy III is the one Pixel Remaster that serves as the definitive way to play the 2D version of Final Fantasy III.

- Randy G (ThunderDragonRandy) · v1.1.0

Many of the side quests, secret passages or secret items are inaccessible.

- Mr. Samuel · v1.1.0

My first time through this one I wasn't really enjoying myself. After stopping mudway and starting again but playing with a different mind set I really came to love this game. FF3 introduces the job system, as all fans already know. It overwhelmed me at first but with a fresh approach I found it to be very rewarding though I wish the jobs were a little better spread out through the game.

- Jeff Pearson · v1.1.0

One star until controller support is added. There is no reason for there not to be controller support. Edit: Controller support added. Great remake.

- Lars Solheim · v1.1.0

No controller support. This game was made for use with a controller so why doesn't this version have support for one and why aren't we told such before we pay for it?

- Carl Struiksma

Overpriced. $18 for a game that's over 30 years old and they couldn't even add controller support. The UI is bland and the font is out of place. This game just needed some polish, is that asking too much?

- Fatdaddy42069 · v1.0.4

This is one of the worst ports I've ever seen. This game was for the NES made back maybe in the late 1980's early 90s. When this game came out it was probably 12 kilobytes maybe 6 kb in size. It is now over 500MB. I don't care how remastered it is, there is something wrong with that. The game crashes constantly, probably due to memory leaks. It runs worse than it did on NES by far. Even walking around on the world map is bad. Purchase at your own risk. Maybe the 3d version is better.

- Gem Crim · v1.0.4

Save game feature is broken on Android 14 (Pixel 8 Pro). Both quick save and normal save are broken. I believe that is related to new file access permissions to "Android/data" folder. Please FIX!

Such a great nostalgic game and I love the updated visuals of the spells! Please add controller support!

- Jonathan Malmstrom · v1.0.4

I mind playing this when I was younger and got to nepto cave without knowing how to change jobs, took me hours with no avail, figured out by accident and blitzed it with 4 BLM. This holds up to the classic experience, quite the difficulty curve to begin but it's worth it.

- Gary Speirs · v1.0.4

The Definitive version of this game. I've loved Final Fantasy since the first one on my NES, it was my introduction to rpgs and first vg ost to grab me. All of this is to say that this pixel remaster imho does the best job of matching the feel and tone of it's original ost (wish the ff1 battle music sounded more skulking like og for etc). On top of that, it is easily the most fun version of this game, featuring a better overall balance. This one's special.

- xXNaKeDxBaCoNXx · v1.0.4

One of Square's classics that experiments with the job-change system. However, unlike other party-building RPGs, this one doesn't rely much on balance - only the right jobs in some situations. It was an okay experience. Even though I rate this 5 stars for effort to remake the game from the original Famicom version, I'd personally recommend FFV more overall.

- Joel Wong · v1.0.4

Buggsssss

Every 5 mins or so it boots me out of the game . Infuriatingly frustrating.

- spankandgank · v1.0.4

App doesn't work on devices over ten thousand times more powerful than what it was designed for. Bugs everywhere, new bugs, freezes, crashes, every problem a braindead dev teamwould have. Also refused refund and disputed with my bank instead as google lied and they have to pay. Devs need to stop everything. You know what I mean

- Nope ChuckTesta

When I play this game sometime it hard to move a character and when I play this game a little bit longer it is going to lag and suddenly screen goes black after that it comes out on its own suddenly

- Untuk Luntuk · v1.0.4

No autosave. Not sure what they were thinking, but this means that if you switch away from the app during play for any reason (e.g. to respond to a text) the app may quit and then you're sent back to your last save or quicksave data, potentially losing hours of progess. Unplayable. Too bad!

How is less content an improvement?

Final Fantasy fans are really easy to please. Square slaps new pixelated graphics and a remixed score on an inferior version of the game and FF fans act like they did them a favor. Oh course Square is just setting them up to sell them the “DEFINITIVE COMPLETE VERSIONS” in a few years with all the added content. Pixel remaster fans get mad at me for saying this now, then when the next versions come out they’ll claim those versions were always better. Just watch it happen. Let’s be clear about the pixel remasters. Only the first 2 FF games are improved. 3-6 have less content and less challenge. They are objectively inferior versions of the games because there isn’t as much to do. Whether you feel that the added content in previous releases was necessary or not is irrelevant. It’s *LESS CONTENT*. Not as much stuff to do and the game ends faster. This isn’t an improvement. Pixel remasters aren’t the pure classic versions anyway, there are lots of changes from the original releases 30+ years ago. So if they’re gonna alter the original games, why wouldn’t they include all the extra content released over the years? How can you call something a “definitive version” when it’s a barebones release? The 3D version is way better. More challenge, more content, more jobs, and an entirely new introduction.

- WJCK5 · v1.0.4

No controller support at all at this time, crashes too often and as there is no autosave, or even apparently a save state between apps--leave the screen, start over. Font is almost illegibly thin. What is there to enjoy is not worth 18 dollars. Bare minimum effort on behalf of Square Enix.

- Henry Keith · v1.0.4

Still major bugs. Everything seems to run good if you stay with the starting classes, black, white, red mages, warrior. But when I tried to switch "jobs" to scholar, ranger, thief, knight. Not a single one gains mp as some are supposed to, yes, even after sleeping at an inn or using a restoration well. So all spells become useless in other job classes.

- fullgratz53 · v1.0.4

Enjoyed myself playing the game. However, I went through the motions of getting all achievements, but the final achievement for getting all other achievements will not unlock. Would be 5/5 otherwise.

Backbone Support

I love having this game on mobile, but maybe you guys could add controller support? I play games with Backbone and I would LOVE to be able to use it on this and the other Pixel Remasters!

- Cody Strykr · v1.0.3

no controller support is hot garbage. really regret buying game, just a terrible experience

- Brad g · v1.0.3

Love that this game is available in timeless pixel visuals. It does crash constantly tho unfortunately.

- Daniel Wenger · v1.0.3

The game has definitely not gone through the finishing quality checks that the remasters of ff1 and ff2 did. It's playable, but you'll want to save A LOT. Anything from black screen, touch controls just stopping, or game breaking bugs like your ship getting permanently stuck. I encounter something like this every 10 - 15 minutes or so. It's a shame since the 1st two games in the series played so smoothly. SE really needs to fix this game up. It's not like they don't have the capacity.

- Brian O · v1.0.3

This is f'n amazing. Ff3 is one of my favorite ff games. This may be the definitive way to play. So many qol changes from the nes & ds versions for a streamlined experience. And listen to the new ost, I hope the ds version adds a purchasable upgrade to have the pixel remasters' ost. It's been a long time since replaying through ff3 felt like a new experience, & I would recommend all fans of this game to play this version. Although the ds version is more challenging making both viable options.

- Kame House · v1.0.3

It's such a smooth experience. This Final Fantasy is a underrated gem.

- Dylon Brady · v1.0.3

Once again another epic game from Square Enix bought to mobile devices and another epic title to add to my collection

AR feature missing?

If I’m not mistaken there was a AR (augmented reality) feature advertised with this game. Does anyone know how to access this feature? Other than that this is one of the best versions of FF3.

- Dehog2427 · v1.0.3

CONTROLLER SUPPORT!!!!

copying my FF6 review because somebody needs to address this: FF3 is obviously a great game but for the love of god would have putting controller support in a game already with controller in mind be so difficult its like you’re intentionally trying to upset your player base (plus the steam version already has it so there is absolutely no reason iOS should have launched without it. Keeping this 2 stars because its playable and its a great game but there is seriously no excuse for lacking controller support

- DoubleSunday · v1.0.3

MANDATORY ONLINE CONNECTION DRM prevents me from playing away from wifi. The touch dpad is horrible, with NO option for gamepad support. Tap controls don't work at all for hidden areas. Battle UI is terrible. Text is incredibly small. The game runs at about 20fps, despite me owning a decent phone. Awful port. VERY AWFUL PORT.

- vicviper 001 · v1.0.3

A ton of fun with a Chemistry Set

Honestly this game becomes awesome when you know what you’re doing (right dungeon with right class setup especially at that mini dungeon where your physical classes can’t do damage) and/or job leveling every battle from the start by doing 5 actions, including defending (1st character can end 5th turn attacking with everyone benefiting as defense occurs first regardless of order), which auto battle helps a ton. I enjoy the quality of life (pixel remaster standard of amped up soundtrack with art, maps, quicker/diagonal walk speed, quick auto battle that remembers your past actions). Unfortunately, the jobs are not explained in game, nor are you able to see your job level in status (it’s in the job menu). The story is great for its time, and I like the rotating guest characters, though they don’t participate in battle like the 3D version. It is nice they didn’t pull the 3D version should one want to try (though note the Onion Knight is default here, and an unlock there, with Freelancer just being a bad job that doesn’t get stats buffed when you max it out, though unfortunately it’s character level and not job for onion knight so you can’t exploit early), but this game is a lot better given you have quicksaves, multiple enemies who don’t have a ton of health, and the other characters make up for having identical kids (3D gave distinct names/slight personalities). My favorite part of the game is how quickly you get an airship and the initial jobs though I find warrior kinda useless given monk is a bargain (and strong with Tonfa you can find) and you need money for magic in that mini dungeon. The wightslayer is nice for the Red Mage, though it does phase out after the first 2 dungeons. It’s still better than FF1 given you can dual wield even shields (some like the Viking to bait weak physical attacks while the rest of the party attacks unscathed). Just remember, if this version of the game frustrates you, you were playing this like a typical RPG without trying to game the system for ridiculous power, which is no fun. You do have to retreat back to town as you can’t buy Phoenix Downs until after that mini (2nd) dungeon (nice change though early you need to always heal at the spring first, as inn won’t revive), which would compound if the difficulty is excessive for being underprepared (not underleveled as you’ll be job leveling every battle with that 5 turn defense strategy, though it is only one per battle). Quicksave and healing spots do make the final dungeon (You have to manually backtrack at the top floor as the story forces you to a point of no return to undermine the Gil you make to buy shurikens before the final boss area) easier too, let alone you won’t have to only use the OP ninjas/sages as bardsong for the bard has you go first to buff the party (alternate attack/defense) with decent hp healing at higher job levels. Devout and Magus have more spell charges than the sage, and a petrification strategy is fun with those 3 equipping golem staffs to kill anyone susceptible in 3 hits rather than waste magic.

Very good remaster of FF 3. Couldn't really find much fault in anything.

A great game and a great port of it. This RPG is perfect for casual phone play without going too simple. Fast forward during more simple combat helps keep the more mundane bits to a minimum.

Best way to experience FF3. The 3D version cut a lot out that was necessary.

Well done, but could use some improvements

Love getting to play an old classic for the first time. There is just nothing more nostalgic than the 8 & 16 but era console RPGs. Love that Square remasters this in 2D and the graphics look great. It’s the update I’ve been waiting for. Wishlist: - Please fix the font. It doesn’t match the aesthetic of the game. - Please allow the removal/hiding of the d-pad graphic on the screen. It clutters up the UI in a not-good way. - Please add controller support With these fixes, this easily becomes a 5/5 game for me.

How Does This Issue Exist in 2021?!

This game doesn’t let you listen to other music or podcasts while playing. How does an app releasing in 2021 still have this issue?! I can’t give any app with this issue more than 1 star.

- Ben from Iowa · v1.0.2

Awesome Game - Needs to address bugs and optimization

I enjoyed the game - it was a lot of fun to play. Will change star rating once the following is addressed: 1) The game could be better optimized for iOS - it makes my iPad Pro 12.9 2020 run hot and run through its battery 2) Final achievement for earning all achievements does not get rewarded - I have tried to troubleshoot by logging in an out of Game Center, force closing the app, etc..nothing works Suggestions: 1) Controller Support 2) Square Enix restore - I would like to be able to play the game on other platforms utilizing the Square Enix backup feature 3) Apple TV app

- Josiah6789 · v1.0.2

Good Game, if You Can Through All the Crashes

Enjoying it thoroughly but it crashes on my 5th Gen iPad about once every 10-30 minutes, presumably due to out of memory (usually occurs when I switch scenes or open the menu). Similar to issue with the first two Pixel Remasters, but much worse for this one. Wait for a few patches for them to fix their memory leaks.

- Talarian · v1.0.2

My only 5-star of the first 3 pixel remasters

I’m a die-hard FF fan. I’ve played every core game when it was released (including the ones that initially didn’t release in America) and have spent countless dollars on ports and sequels. I like the new graphics and music across all 3. I’m a little frustrated that there’s no controller support, especially because the tap-to-walk pathing in this one wouldn’t path through hidden walls (it did in the other 2, so it’s weird it didn’t for this one). Nonetheless, this port is the only port of FF3 that I’ve ever actually enjoyed. In fact, this was only the 2nd time I’ve beat the game, while I’ve beaten the others plenty of times (minus 11 & 14, which I don’t consider real games in the series, but are still enjoyable in their own right). I’m glad bonus content in all 3 was removed because it was never really balanced well and never made much sense (not to mention they were pointless), but I’m also sad there were no attempts at adding content. It would be nice to see tons of side quests added or what-not that actually build and strengthen the story (not “Go find my dog” or “Gather ingredients for my family dinner” types of quests…). There’s no reason to make a “true to the original” rerelease… we can just go play the original if that’s what we wanted.

A Good (if archaic) Game

Final Fantasy III was a game originally made in 1990 on the NES/Famicom. This pixel remaster stays true to much of the original game’s design philosophy, which can be both enjoyable and a hindrance. It uses the old Charge system of magic rather then the modern MP system, Inns don’t revive KOed party members, and airships not being able to fly over mountains are just some of the things in this game that might throw you for a loop if you come in after having played other FF titles. The plot is paper thin (it was originally an NES game, after all) and lacks some of the improvements/changes to gameplay and story that the 3D remake gave us. But at its core is a perfectly functional RPG. It expanded on the first game’s Job System with improved customization options. This is not a game that holds your hand and the difficulty can spike up rather suddenly at times. Its older design philosophy can be easy-to-hate at times, gimmick dungeons that require Mini or Toad are a sour point for me in this game, but the combat is enjoyable and it’s a solid experience if you’re in the market for an old school RPG experience.

Controller support?

I love Final Fantasy. Have done since the early 90’s. It was so much fun playing through the 3D versions, and now I love these pixel remasters, except for one crucial flaw: either give us controller support, or actually use the touchscreen to its full potential like in the FF VI 3D version. This weird ghost controller thing, never has been, nor will it ever be, an effective way of controlling an FF game. Come on, already, Square Enix, this is just being unacceptably lazy at this point. You can, and need, to start doing better, y’all.

- Mx Self-Destruct · v1.0.1

Game Crashes

This is completely unacceptable. This game crashes before the opening scene finishes playing. I literally can’t even play the game I paid for. I’m on iPad and this is the exact issue I had with the FF1 pixel remaster. Only this time it’s substantially worse. This is absolutely ridiculous and I will not be supporting this company again. To release a product with such a glaring issue and to not even work to fix it is just deplorable.

The Definitive Final Fantasy III

I was skeptical, given how they didn’t give this a console release. I played the NES original and DS Remake so this had quite the shoes to fill. However I’m about two hours in and can say with no reservations that this the definitive way to play. The spritework and textures are spot on, from obvious stuff like character sprites and enemies to more subtle things like how water shimmers and clouds roll by. The thing nobody talks about though is the music. While it does borrow a tune or two from the DS remake otherwise it’s all original and the best of any version of this game. From rock to orchestral everything feels epic an extraordinary. It’s the kind of OST you’d buy to listen to on its own. As for gameplay it’s largely the same as any other version, save for one difference. It uses a spell slot-based system for magic. In short this is just like the NES version. To those unfamiliar though basically magic is divided among several levels and each level has a unique pool of points to draw from when casting their respective spells, with each spell costing one point. For instance level 1 spells can have 9 points, level 2 can have 5, and so on. I like this return to form because, since spamming high level spells alone isn’t an option like in more modern RPGs, you have to be more strategic and economic. The downsides are the price (18 bucks is a bit much for what you get), a lack of controller support (hopefully a future update will add this), and omission of the DS remake’s added story elements. The last point, where each party member had their own personality and plot, is sacrificed to make this more in-line with the NES original, sure, but it’s still missed. Besides that though I still think this the definitive way to play Final Fantasy III.

- FFSamurai · v1.0.1

Great game but need technical improvements

Pros + Awesome soundtrack. + Beautiful sprites. + Auto battle and easier job level up - less grinding. Cons - 8 way movement is too clunky. Prefer 4 way movement. - Typo on Caanan, should be Canaan. - English language font type look out of place. Could use a better font type to improve readability. - Biggest complain for me is the random crashes. I’m playing in Pad Air 2, iOS 14.6. Please fix this as I can’t enjoy the game with these crashes.

Here’s a Gem…

This game is exactly what I hoped it to be! Here’s a gem for you guys… If you’re using an iPhone to play, and have a smart TV accessible, you can use “screen mirroring” (a feature on your phone) to play this game (or any game) on your smart TV! I have a 4K tv, and it does the game even more justice! I see the remastered colors even better on a larger screen! My phone then acts as a controller then… I would love to see this game add the actual controller usage, but it’s just fine for now. Thank you Square Enix for what you do for us fans! Can’t wait to see what else you come out with!

I slept on this game for so long

I can’t count the many times I have started this game on the DS and never finished it. I got this version and I’m falling in love with it. The story is nothing out of this world but it has an unique charm to it. I find myself drawn to the world and I feel a need to explore every nook and cranny. The job system is awesome, I played FFV but the jobs in this game are pretty cool (Monk and Geomancer OP). I can’t wait to finish it and play the others!

This surpassed my expectations, given Square’s track record with mobile releases. The game is absolutely lovely: Easy to control, with great graphics and a fantastic remastered soundtrack. (A slightly nicer font wouldn’t hurt, but it honestly bothers me less than I imagined it might.) One very clear downside is that there’s no controller support. Seems like an insane omission, especially given that other Square Enix RPGs support it. It’s not a huge problem in FFIII, but I think it will make the titles that use the ATB system (IV, V, and VI) sort of a pain. Hopefully they add it!

Cool

Played the ds version, never got to play this one. It’s nice and love the music and everything but I also found a bug or glitch idk what to call it. Regardless it’s when you’re on the boat. If you get too close to an edge the character may look like he’s off the boat but you’re not in land. They won’t become unstuck at all. Have to shut the whole game down and come back in to the last save. DO NOT save while in that state because you will come back just stuck. Tried it out with the quick save option rather than my regular save.

The best version of the best 8-bit FF. Just not on mobile

I'm so glad to see Final Fantasy III finally have its original 2D version remade to re-enter the modern gaming landscape, and be preserved in games history for all time. This is the best looking, best playing version of FF3 ever... except here on mobile where an awkward touch interface drags down the gameplay. This new remaster is begging for a re-release on a real video game system with a real game controller. Until then, this beautiful new version stands as almost perfect.

Actually Pretty Great

I am a huge fan of this remaster. It hit a lot of the notes, but here’s a short pros and cons list. Pros: + Great control. I play on iPhone and iPad (only needed to purchase once), but mostly my iPhone. I haven’t had issues, and most of what I’ve messed up on in terms of control was my own fault save for one gripe (see cons). + This 2D title is a part of history. As far as I can tell, this is a solid rehash of the original, and I’m excited to keep clipping through it. It feels like the original with job changes, and that’s what I was hoping for. + This is what I expected. And my expectations were pretty high. They really did (sort of) re-invent the wheel here, and I haven’t been disappointed so far. + The music is OUTSTANDING. Industry reviews have said it all over, but still, it’s worth noting. Cons: - There’s an issue on my iPad: the game crashes. I am going to chalk it up to being an older iPad because it works flawlessly on my phone, but they should nip that in the bud. - 8-way movement is awkward. It’s the one grip I have about the movement. - If you’re not into touch controls, you probably won’t be a fan. It’s all touch controls—you should know that going in. Thank you, and if pick this up, I hope you enjoy it!

Horrible font

The font is tiny and unreadable. Until this is updated, I would not bother playing.

30 minutes in, an honest and simple review

I’m a young but long time final fantasy fan. I wasn’t alive back when some of these games were released. However, I’m still a fan of the classics. This, honestly, is not as bad as everyone is saying it is. The graphics look very nice. They are low-res and crisp just as god intended. There’s some inconsistency with the ui and I’m not a fan of the font, but it’s pretty easy to get over if you just focus on playing. The music, now I’m a big fan of the music. They aren’t using the original tracks for FFIII, but re-orchestrated them and honestly I think it was the right thing to do. The game sounds beautiful so far, and I’m eager to hear more. The thumb stick control is a little finicky, but you can kind of use it like a directional dpad if you press the directions. The battles are very faithful to the original and fun, and there’s a bit of modern magic going on. It’s not a sloppily thrown together port of an old game, there is actually some work done here and that is great. If you’re looking for a 1:1 copy of the original, emulate it or find yourself an old NES and cartridge. I’m enjoying myself so far!
