FINAL FANTASY III in IOS

The Ultimate Pixel Remaster

Walkthrough, Guilds, Tips on this special game

Our Expert Score

79/100

Final Fantasy III Pixel Remaster finally gives Western mobile players the chance to experience the 2D version of the 'Job System' classic. While we have had the 3D remake for years, there is a distinct charm to the 2D sprites and traditional turn-based flow that this version restores. The Job System is as addictive as ever, allowing you to swap your party between Warriors, Dragoons, and Summoners at a moment's notice to adapt to the game's challenging boss fights.

The remaster looks and sounds incredible, especially the newly arranged 'Eternal Wind' world map theme. However, it's worth noting that FFIII remains one of the more difficult games in the series. The infamous Crystal Tower finale is still a marathon, though the new quick-save feature makes it much more manageable than the NES original. For fans of deep customization and classic RPG progression, this is a must-buy.
