Description
In a remote village of Ur, four orphan boys were raised by the priest Topapa. Once, the Crystal of Wind, guarded by the people of Ur, sank deep into the earth. The four boys decided to retrieve it from there and went down into an underground cave. But when they found the crystal, it spoke to them and from its words they understood they were chosen for a much more important and world-embracing mission...
"Final Fantasy 3" is the third Final Fantasy game for the NES platform. It is the last Final Fantasy game that does not use the ATB (active time battle) system (until it was removed again in "Final Fantasy X"). 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. Before the game begins, you give names to the four boys, which look the same (only in different colors) and belong all to the same class. Some minor issues were slightly changed to resemble more the classical Final Fantasy look (such as the menu layout etc.).

Trivia
Final Fantasy III is the NES/Famicom game that has the biggest quantity of songs in it. Technically, there are 58 tunes! (but some of them are just when the hero plays piano, etc...)
The average NES games have 10-25 tunes in them.
