Square Chronicles Home :: Final Fantasy III

Unlike the last Final Fantasy, Final Fantasy III is HUGE. Americans never got this game when it first came out as they got FFVI instead (If you wish that square would just release the same game both areas under the same titles, your not the only one be sure of it) One day a earthquake opens a cave which opens a way to a crystal which knows what happened to the world a thousand years ago. A thousand years ago a technologically advanced civilization wanted to rule the world by the use of the light crystals. the world would have been lost if there wasn't a counterpart to the light crystals, the dark crystals. Four dark warriors succeeded in returning the world the way it should be and for a thousand years the world lived in harmony.

Till a earthquake opened a cave near a town called Ur that held a single crystal full of magical power. Raised by a village elder, four ophan kids go into this new cave and find the crystal. The crystal tells them that harmony the world knows is going to end and so tells them, in exchange for magical power to restore the harmony in the world. So after telling their family goodbye the light warriors are off to do what the dark warriors done a thousand years ago.

The first game to contain moogles, Final Fantasy III never made it to america before a remake was made on the DS. In 1999 the game though was unofficaly translated into english by Neill Corlett and Alex W. Jackson. It was going to be released to a console called WonderSwan Color by Bandai but it was rejected cause it was too complicated coding wise for that console and so ended up on DS. Final Fantasy III was also the first title that contained jobs so the game was huge because of that fact since there was so many jobs and so much you could do with each one it made it a challenge to complete the ones you wanted.
