SquareEnix Ltd., the publisher of SquareEnix Interactive
Entertainment products in Europe and other PAL territories, today
announces that FINAL FANTASY III will be released
 on 4th May
2007 exclusively on NintendoDS.
Originally available only in Japan for the Famicom (known in Europe
as the Nintendo Entertainment System), FINAL FANTASY III is
considered the sole missing title in the world-renowned series in
the Western world. Now, 17 years after its Japanese debut, European
fans will be able to savour the legendary adventure for the first
time.
Protected by the crystals of light, the once peaceful land has
forever been changed by the great tremor. Without warning, the
earthquake pulled the crystals into the earth, upsetting the world’s
fragile balance. It seems as if all hope is lost – but as the Gulgan
prophecy foretold, four souls blessed with the light shall once
again restore balance to the world.
Near the small village of Ur, fate guides Luneth to a sentient
crystal that changes his life forever. As the light of the crystal
fades, Luneth embarks on a journey to seek three others who share
his destiny to search for the remaining crystals, and fight the
battle of light and darkness.
John Yamamoto, President and CEO of SquareEnix Ltd. comments, “The
arrival of FINAL FANTASY III on NintendoDS showcases the
power of the hardware and proves that no compromise has to be made
in order to create an adventure of this magnitude for a handheld
system. With over 1.4 million copies already shipped in Japan and
North America, we are sure that FINAL FANTASY III will be a
big success in Europe too.”
Hiromichi Tanaka, Director and Executive Producer of FINAL
FANTASY III comments, “FINAL FANTASY III has been made
anew on the NintendoDS platform, including new graphics in 3D,
rebalanced jobs, and brand new characterisation for the four young
heroes. We hope that not only FINAL FANTASY fans, but a wide
variety of players in Europe, enjoy the new FINAL FANTASY III.”
With an innovative interface that capitalizes on the NintendoDS’
capabilities, players can now experience the title that introduced
the popular moogles, summons and the dynamic job system to the
FINAL FANTASY series.
Featuring Wi-Fi play, stunning 3D visuals and an unparalleled
Role-Playing experience on the NintendoDS, May 4th, 2007,
will be anticipated by many, many gamers in the UK. Look out for the
