A Brief History of Final Fantasy III

Released in 1994 in Japan as Final Fantasy III, this installment in the beloved RPG series was originally designed for the Famicom Disk System. The game followed the story of four orphaned siblings - Luneth, Arc, Refia, and Ingus - as they embarked on a perilous journey to save the world from the evil forces of Xande.

When the SNES version was released in 1996, it included several changes and additions to the original game. The title was altered due to concerns about its content, particularly the depiction of death, which some deemed too graphic for younger audiences. As a result, the SNES version omitted many of the scenes showing character deaths.
