Final Fantasy III

Final Fantasy III is a landmark role-playing game developed and published by Square for the Famicom (NES) in 1990. As the third installment in the legendary series, it was a monumental achievement in 8-bit game design, pushing the hardware to its absolute limits to deliver an adventure of unprecedented scale and depth. For many years, Final Fantasy III was a legendary 'lost' chapter for Western audiences, as it was not officially released outside of Japan until its 3D remake many years later. The story begins with four young orphans who, after an earthquake reveals a hidden cave, are chosen by the Crystal of Light to become the Warriors of Light and embark on a perilous journey to restore balance to a world being consumed by an encroaching darkness. The original version of Final Fantasy III is a true masterpiece of its era.
