About
Final Fantasy III (2006) is a full 3D remake of the classic 1990 JRPG, making it the first western localization of the original game. This entry-level RPG features turn-based combat and a complete graphical overhaul from its 2D predecessor, offering players a nostalgic yet modernized experience of the beloved franchise.
Final Fantasy III runs smoothly on modest hardware, making it accessible for budget-conscious gamers and older systems. With minimum GPU requirements around entry-level tier and a CPU score of roughly 1846, you'll achieve solid FPS performance even on integrated graphics. The game scales well across different graphics settings, allowing for consistent 60+ FPS on mid-range GPUs with just 4 GB RAM required.
If you're a Final Fantasy fan or enjoy classic JRPGs, this remake is worth experiencing despite its 68/100 rating. The localization alone makes it a historically important title, though newcomers to the series might find the dated mechanics less engaging than modern alternatives.
Performance profile
Released in August 2006, Final Fantasy III comes from the DirectX 9 era. Even the cheapest modern discrete GPU crushes it at maxed-out settings; the only real bottleneck today is CPU single-thread speed on older titles that were never multi-threaded.
RPGs like Final Fantasy III stress VRAM during long sessions — texture streaming, mods and open-world traversal inflate memory use over time. 8 GB VRAM is a practical floor; 12 GB+ is worth the headroom at 1440p and above.
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
One thousand years before the events in the game, on a floating continent hovering high above the surface of an unnamed planet, a technologically advanced civilization sought to harness the power of the four elemental crystals of light. They did not realize that they could not control such fundamental forces of nature. This power of light would have consumed the world itself had the light crystals not had their natural counterparts: the four dark elemental crystals. Disturbed by the sudden interruption of the careful balance between light and dark, four warriors were granted the power of the dark crystals to recapture the power of the light crystals. These so-called Dark Warriors succeeded in their quest, and restored harmony to the world. But their victory came too late to save the doomed civilization, whose culture was reduced to ruin, though their floating continent remained. On that continent, the circle of Gulgans, a race of blind soothsayers and fortune-tellers, predicted that these events will ultimately repeat.
