Behold the power of Steam, taking the games you loved in 8-bit pixels and bringing you them in glorious 3D! Final Fantasy III is the latest such game that gets a new age 3D makeover, whether you asked for it or not.
Besides the 3D makeover, which is a complete 3D makeover we might add not some weird pseudo pixels to 3D crap, the Steam version of Final Fantasy III will include new visual designs for the Job mastery Cards, Steam specific Trading Cards and Steam Achievements.
Of course all this work on Final Fantasy III means it comes in at a premium price of $15.99/€12.99/£10.99 which might be kind of hard to swallow as we are used to getting our classic games on the cheap. However Square Enix did go and redo the game in 3D so that at least says to me that they care enough to revamp the whole thing which adds to the cost. There’s no official release date as of yet but Square Enix says you should be able to get your Final Fantasy III adventuring on soon.

The Story of FINAL FANTASY III
Protected by the crystals of light, the once peaceful land has forever been changed by the great tremor.
