Final Fantasy III -- now on iPhone and iPod touch!

First released in 1990, Final Fantasy III was the first title in the Final Fantasy series to become a million-seller, establishing once and for all that Square Enix's classic RPG saga was here to stay.
The full 3D remake released in 2006 duplicated the original's success, selling over a million copies worldwide.

Final Fantasy III was a hallmark of innovation for the entire series, from the job system that lets characters change classes at any time to the ability to summon powerful creatures such as Shiva and Bahamut.

When darkness falls and the land is robbed of light, four youths are chosen by the crystals to set forth on a journey to save the world.

If you're a hardcore fan of the Final Fantasy series it's hard not to recommend this title, but casual fans will need to consider if they're interested in a serious 'retro' JRPG challenge.

7.5
Final Fantasy III is an old-school RPG with a shiny coat of paint and a very large price tag.

9.0
Pros: Wonderful, crisp, 3D graphics. It's Final Fantasy on the iPhone! Job system has been adjusted and balanced out. Long, deep, single-player campaign. Cons: Turn-based combat may not be for everyone. Object puzzles are sometimes frustrating because it's not obvious where to look.

8.0
Plucked from the tree of nostalgia

7.5
Plus-sized adventure at a plus-sized price.
