Since this is a fairly direct remake, that means some of the Final Fantasy III 3D remake quality of life choices are absent. (They’ll also be limited to three spells per level, so make wise choices!) You’ll also need to keep track of what someone can and can’t use when swapping jobs. Mages will need to purchase spells to add to their repertoire at towns, so you can use their special abilities. As you take part in turn-based battles, complete with an auto-battle option this time around, you gain experience. Different classes have different potential specialties available to them. You eventually reach more crystals, obtain more jobs, and become more formidable.Īs this is an older installment, battling and growing in Final Fantasy III Pixel Remaster can require a bit of thought. Perhaps your choices lead to you getting some sort of boon that lets you explore more of the world. You pick up a mission that leads to you facing some sort of major enemy causing trouble for the area. Once there, you tend to find something is amiss. Things are fairly well telegraphed, and Final Fantasy III Pixel Remaster follows a formula folks are familiar with. As the new Warriors of Light, it falls to them to aid people across the world and restore balance. It bestows upon them the Black Mage, Monk, Red Mage, Warrior, and White Mage job classes. There, they encountered the Wind Crystal.

Four orphans raised in the small town of Ur went exploring in a nearby cave and fell into its unknown depths. The world is out of balance, with enemies running rampant and disasters placing innocents in danger. Given this is a gussied up Famicom game, the story and its characterizations are more rudimentary than in the 3D remake people may be more familiar with. Now everyone, everywhere can play it more easily, and it is a fascinating look back at Final Fantasy history. We saw the 3D remake, which added new story elements, reinvented the characters, and altered the job class, but still missed that formative installment. It never really appeared outside Japan in its purest form. While most of the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster entries are reacquainting people with games they know, the line’s rendition of Final Fantasy III is an introduction.
