About
Final Fantasy III (2021) is a delightful reimagining of the classic RPG that originally debuted on the NES. This version showcases an enhanced 2D art style and a revamped audio experience, while maintaining the timeless narrative that has captivated players for decades. It combines traditional turn-based combat with a charming story, making it a standout title both for newcomers and long-time fans of the series.
In terms of PC performance, Final Fantasy III is quite accessible, requiring only an entry-level GPU with a minimum score of around 1052. To achieve smooth gameplay and decent FPS, a system with at least 4 GB of RAM and a CPU score of approximately 1846 is recommended. Mid-range GPUs, such as the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 or AMD Radeon RX 560, should be sufficient for running the game on medium graphics settings, providing a pleasant visual experience without taxing your hardware.
Considering its impressive rating of 88/100 and its engaging gameplay, Final Fantasy III is a worthwhile addition to any RPG fan's library. The combination of nostalgic charm and modern graphics makes it not only enjoyable but also a visually appealing title for PC gamers to explore.
Performance profile
Released in July 2021, Final Fantasy III targets RTX 20/30-series and RX 6000-era hardware. A current mid-range GPU (RTX 4060 Ti / RX 7700 XT) is the sweet spot for 1440p Ultra; 4K needs a high-end card.
Extremely light — Final Fantasy III runs at 60 FPS 1080p on any integrated GPU (Intel Iris Xe, AMD Radeon Graphics) or a decade-old discrete card like the GTX 1050. A current-gen RTX 4060 pushes 4K Ultra without effort.
Storyline
An earthquake opens up a previously hidden cavern in Altar Cave near the village of Ur on the floating continent. Four young orphans under the care of Topapa, the village elder, explore the earthquake's impact and come across a crystal of light. The crystal grants them a portion of its power, and instructs them to go forth and restore balance to the world. Not knowing what to make of the crystal's pronouncements, but nonetheless recognizing the importance of its words, the four inform their adoptive family of their mission and set out to explore an overworld outside the area in which they were brought up, in order to bring balance back to the world. Their adventures lead them to discover that there lies a whole world beyond the boundaries of the floating continent upon which they were living. In the world below, they discover a warlock named Xande, one of three apprentices to the legendary Archmage Noah, is trying to possess the crystals of light, so as to bring forth chaos and disorder. The four warriors eventually arrive at the Crystal Tower where they discover that the Cloud of Darkness is the source of the recent events. The Cloud attempts to create a similar situation to the Flood of Light a millennium earlier so that the world is pulled into the void. The Light Warriors traverse into the domain of the dark crystals to free the imprisoned Dark Warriors and defeat the Cloud of Darkness, thereby restoring the crystals and balance to the world. In the DS remake, there are several "side quests" that can also be completed.
