Final Fantasy III Set For Europe

This Spring, European Nintendo DS owners will get the chance to play Final Fantasy III, years and years after the original Japanese version.

Square Enix today announces the forthcoming release of Final Fantasy III on the Nintendo DS handheld system for Spring 2007.

Originally available only in Japan for the Famicom (known in Europe as the Nintendo Entertainment System), for Western gamers Final Fantasy III is considered the missing title in the world-renowned series. Now, 17 years after its Japanese debut, European fans will be able to savour the legendary adventure for the first time.

"Until now, Final Fantasy III has seen no remakes or appearances on other platforms since its original release in April 1990," said Hiromichi Tanaka, Director and Executive Producer of Final Fantasy III. "Due to the game's age, a direct port may seem a bit dated, but now Final Fantasy III has been made anew on the Nintendo DS platform, including new graphics in 3D, rebalanced jobs, and brand new characterisation for the four young heroes, who are now more dynamic than ever. As the only game in the Final Fantasy series that had not previously been localised, we are very pleased to bring Final Fantasy to players in Europe. We hope that not only Final Fantasy fans, but a wide variety of players in Europe enjoys the new Final Fantasy III."

With an innovative interface that utilises the DS Touch Screen along with the advanced Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection capabilities, players can now experience the title that introduced the popular moogles, summons and the dynamic job system to the Final Fantasy series.
