Trivia
This is the first Final Fantasy game in the series where hit points are shown graphically above characters in-battle rather than as text in the caption box.
Final Fantasy III is the only game in the series that has not yet made it to America as an original release or an enhanced remake. Tentative plans for a remake on the Nintendo DS have been announced, but there is no word yet whether or not the game will make it to the United States.
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.

Final Fantasy 3 for the NES was never released by Squaresoft outside of Japan. However the game has been translated to English by amateur translators. In order to play this version you'll need a NES emulator and the patched/translated ROM file.
The game, called Final Fantasy III (SNES), that was released in the U.S. was actually Final Fantasy VI (it was the sixth game of the series to appear in Japan).
