Final Fantasy III 1994

Is it still worth playing?

Square's 1994 role playing game for the Super NES, released in North America as Final Fantasy III. Its story follows a growing cast in a rebellion against an immoral military dictatorship and its pursuit of a magical arms race. It has fourteen permanent playable characters, the most of any game in the main series, with four in battle at a time. Magicite and Espers grant spells that each character can learn, relics add equipment options, and a character can use a desperation attack at low health. Battles use the Active Time Battle system, and the world has technology like that of the Second Industrial Revolution. Nobuo Uematsu's score makes extensive use of leitmotifs, and about 30 people made the game in a year. Playing it now means choosing your party: with fourteen characters, each with abilities of their own, who you bring is up to you.
