    First released in 1990, Final Fantasy III was the first title in the Final Fantasy series to become a million-seller, establishing once and for all that Square Enix's classic RPG saga was here to stay.
    The full 3D remake released in 2006 duplicated the original's success, selling over a million copies worldwide.

    Final Fantasy III was a hallmark of innovation for the entire series, from the job system that lets characters change classes at any time to the ability to summon powerful creatures such as Shiva and Bahamut.

    When darkness falls and the land is robbed of light, four youths are chosen by the crystals to set forth on a journey to save the world.

    Easily the best game that SquareEnix has released for the App Store. If you're a huge Final Fantasy fan, or if you just happen to love old-school RPGs, then it's easily worth price of admission.

    Those of you that loved the DS version of the game will appreciate the improved visuals and portability, especially considering how poorly implemented DS backwards compatibility is on the 3DS.

    Good virtual controls and easy-going gameplay make Final Fantasy III a recommended role-playing adventure.

    If you're a hardcore fan of the Final Fantasy series it's hard not to recommend this title, but casual fans will need to consider if they're interested in a serious 'retro' JRPG challenge.

    This is a game dedicated to the biggest fans of a certain class of experiences that until very recently was thought could not exist in IOS systems.

    An old school rpg that's long lasting, beautiful and better than the twice as expensive DS version.

    A plus-sized adventure at a plus-sized price. If you are a Final Fantasy fan and have yet to try this entry in the series, then by all means, make the download.

    Touch controls instead of on screen buttons-only make it smooth to play.

If you don't like school RPGs usually, then this will be the one that changes your mind. Because it's that good. Pricey, but you get what you pay for. Also, beautiful soundtrack.… Expand

Final fantasy 3 is one of squares finest outings, and one thing for sure it's quite a challenge, the price may seem a little steep, compared to other titles on the app store, but this is not just any other game, as this was released on the ds, it's a steal, and a piece of time lost to be re-enjoyed.… Expand

I thoroughlyLet me start by saying that I did not play Final Fantasy 3 on the DS. So to me, this is fresh original content. And fresh it is. I thoroughly enjoyed this game and everything it does. It eludes back into an era of rpgs that i miss and fear will soon be extinct. I can say with all honestly that I am enjoying this game more than any rpg i have played since Dragon Quest VIII. Though, this game certainly is not for everyone.

    This is a classic rpg. Though i must say with all honesty, the updated graphics and iphone additions makes it feel a lot less archaic than many game reviewers are making it out to be. The world is lush and pretty, the towns are vibrant, and the people inhabiting said towns always have something useful to say. This game, does not feel archaic to me at all. This is because i love the turn based rpg formula though, and turn based battle systems.

    Go to town. Talk to everyone. Search town high and low for new items. Upgrade weapons and armor. Grind on way to next town. Repeat. Throw in a dungeon here and there, a few airships, a few bosses and an admittedly weak plot, and you have Final Fantasy 3. It does nothing new, but it does everything well.

    If turn based rpgs are not your cup of tea, dont bother with this game. If you are a fan of Squaresoft and turn based rpgs, get this game. Assuming that is, you have not played it previously on the DS. tl;dr

    I like turn based rpgs. This is a great turn based rpg. Not for everyone. If you are new to the genre, dont bother. But if you were new to the genre, you wouldn't be reading this, would you?    … Expand

There is a great world to explore, interesting characters and many other very positive mechanics. However, it is hard, and when I mean hard I mean extremely hard.
