Final Fantasy III

The last Final Fantasy game made for a Nintendo system prior to Squaresoft's shift to development for the Sony Playstation.

The two soldiers that accompany Terra at the beginning of the game are intended to be references to the Star Wars characters Biggs Darklighter and Wedge Antillies. However, in the English language version, there was a mistranslation, and Biggs became Vicks. This same error occurred when characters with the same names appeared in Chrono Trigger (1995) as two of the men in Norstein Beckler's lab. Later games in the Final Fantasy series used a corrected translation, beginning with Final Fantasy VII. It was corrected in the PlayStation Re-release in 2002.

The opera played during the course of the game is called "Aria di Mezzo Caraterre", and can be heard performed on the soundtrack CDs as well as in a video on the PSX rerelease version.

In the Cult Tower, you can faintly see through the windows out to the background, even though you should be seeing the inside of the wall.

The evasion stat is useless. All evasion is calculated with the MBLOCK stat instead. This also makes the beads relic worthless. This error exists on the SNES and PSX incarnations, although there are ROM patches for the SNES version to fix this.

In the world of ruin, in Narshe, it is possible to get the Ragnarok Esper, and have a one-of-a-kind sword made out of it. Later on in the game, it is possible to steal the same sword from an enemy.
