Earlier this week, Square Enix released an update for the (rather inelegant to say) port of the remake of Final Fantasy III for Steam, Android, and iOS. The original remake (also inelegant) released in 2006 for the Nintendo DS and has since found it's way to many platforms including... Ouya. On Steam, it's been out for six years -- which makes an update now rather notable. Checking out the Steam version, I found the update to be quite nice! It adds a much-needed auto-battle feature that also speeds the game up. This eliminates manual menuing during menial battles - a boon to anyone prone to a spot of grinding. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rD3dqMYyvDo The UI and controller support are cleaner. Plugging in a DualShock 4 and switching between keyboard and mouse-only smartphone-like control is effortless, no need to restart with your preferred modus operandi. The game supports a 21:9 aspect ratio on Steam, which makes the low-poly style of the game look quite nice. A gallery of the game's artwork has been added to the title menu. Support for traditional and simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Thai languages have also been added. However, there's one problem... Much of the text in the game overflows its container, causing

Square Enix has announced that the Steam and mobile version of Final Fantasy III has received a new patch update for February.

Final Fantasy III is out now on Steam, marking yet another platform for the classic game currently available on a wide variety of handhelds and other devices. Based on the original DS remake, the Steam version features optimized graphics for PC with improved 3D visuals and story sequences. In addition to visual upgrades, players can expect achievements and Steam Trading Cards as well. The game can be purchased at a cost of $15.99 through the Steam store front or directly through this link.

Square Enix has revealed that the Nintendo DS 3D remake of Final Fantasy III is to expand its platform reach once again - this time with a PC release via Valve's Steam distribution platform. This likely doesn't come as a huge shock, as the German ratings board leaked it a few weeks ago. Originally released in Japan on the NES in 1990, FF3 originally never saw a Western release. It finally saw the light of day with a Nintendo DS port, and that version of the game was then carried over to PSP and mobile platforms like iOS, Windows Phones and Android. They even shoved it out on the Ouya. That version is now making its way to PC. It's been quite the journey - and Square Enix are certainly getting their money's worth out of this remake. The PC version has been 'optimised for PC gaming' according to Square Enix, and will feature 'improved 3D visuals and sotry sequences' as well as Steam Trading Cards, Achievements, and some all-new visual designs for some in-game elements. The game was the first to introduce the job system, but also really predates the time when Final Fantasy truly began to grapple with the in-depth
