About this game
Final Fantasy Legend III uses the time- and space-traveling ship Talon against a water entity consuming the world. A four-member party searches past, present, and future for ship parts while battles improve characters and equipment. Time travel revisits one world through changed towns, disasters, and routes, and ship upgrades provide a clear long-term goal. Conventional levels and jobs are easier to understand than the previous game's racial growth, while meat and parts still permit transformations. Random encounters and menus are frequent, but story scale and system integration are impressive for Game Boy. This description covers the original gb release represented by this catalog entry and does not assume conveniences introduced by later ports.
