One of the Best SNES Games Ever – Final Fantasy III
Final Fantasy III is one of the best games in one of the best series of all time. So, does that make Final Fantasy III one of the best SNES games ever? I think it does. And if you ever played Final Fantasy III, you’d probably agree.
One thousand years ago, warring gods created powerful magical beings called Espers. These Espers were then sent against each other. The world was left in complete ruin after a vicious battle that ensued. The vast majority of humanity was destroyed and it was believed that the Espers were eradicated. As the generations passed, the story passed into legend. The magic that had nearly completely destroyed the world was almost forgotten. However, there was a small fraction that did remain. The Empire led by the evil Gestahl and his top general Kefka had learned of the old magic. The two of them decided to pursue it to assist in their bid to conquer the world. Then, the Empire finds a frozen Esper in an old mine. As the evil plan begins to come to fruition, a motley group of heroes stands in the way to defend civilization.
Final Fantasy III actually let the player pick which party you wanted to follow and the order in which you chose to do so. Couple that with the fact that there was no true main character. The cast was bigger, the world was larger and more varied, and the story situations were both incredible and bizarre.
The graphics in Final Fantasy III are some of the greatest 2D graphic ever made. Many players consider the Final Fantasy III score to be the greatest videogame soundtrack of all time. The game was a massive success in Japan (obviously). In the US, Final Fantasy II was the most successful RPG up to that point in time. The game appealed to those who considered themselves hardcore RPG players, but it also caught the attention of people who had never played an RPG before. Even though the game could not overcome the fact that RPGs remained trapped as a niche genre played by only a devout few, it still didn’t prevent Final Fantasy III from becoming one of the best SNES games ever.
