01Overview

Final Fantasy III is the third FF game for the Famicom. The turn-based battle engine has been improved: if the enemy is defeated, the next character will automatically switch to another enemy, and not hit the air, like in the previous two games. The game itself is, like the previous games, a top-down RPG where your characters travel in the overworld, sometimes entering cities and dungeons to buy equipment, rest and fight random encounters and bosses with turn-based combat. Final Fantasy III also introduces various series staples, such as the Job system and the Moogle species. The party is four young heroes chosen by the crystals, and the story takes them across a world of floating lands, with an airship to cross it later on. The Job system lets you change any character's job at will, and jobs include Warrior, Monk, Black Mage, White Mage, Red Mage, Dragoon and Summoner. Each job has its own equipment and abilities, so you decide how to assemble the party for each dungeon and boss.
