This page is for the 3D remake of the 1990 NES game. For the 2D remaster, see Final Fantasy III. For the 1994 Super NES game originally released as "Final Fantasy III" in North America, see Final Fantasy VI or Final Fantasy VI (2022).
Final Fantasy III (3D Remake) is a JRPG developed by Square Enix in collaboration with Matrix Software. It is a 3D remake of the original Final Fantasy III released on Famicom in 1990 only in Japan, featuring additional story elements and gameplay improvements.
This 3D remake was first released on Nintendo DS in 2006 and was later ported to iOS and Android in 2011 and 2012 respectively. The PC port, which was developed by DotEmu and released in 2014, is based on the enhanced Android version.
The port received criticism on release for some aspects inherited from the Android version such as the touch-friendly UI, and missing support even for the most common aspect ratios like 16:9. A big update for the PC port was released by Square Enix in February 2020 which improved the experience with traditional UI, better gamepad support and adjustments to keyboard and mouse controls, various aspect ratios support including 21:9, an auto-battle function with a 2x speed-up option, a gallery mode, and Asian languages support.[1] Despite the improvements, a few issues remain: the game is still missing analog movement, and frame rate is still capped at 30 FPS.
