The value story

The lowest price on record is $10.79, set in June 2026. 20 discounts in the 5 years on record. They run about 30 percent off, roughly 8 weeks apart.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 1 percent on value. It is pricier than 81 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 97 percent. The nearest things to it, FINAL FANTASY IV ($10.79, scores 63) and FINAL FANTASY II ($7.19, scores 63), are both worse buys on this math.

On this data it would still be a BANGER at $25.70. It costs $10.79.

Of the 478 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 1 comes from a buyer who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written July 2021 to August 2026.

30.1 hours to finish it, 91 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 3.0 times the campaign.

Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, so it runs on the handheld without fiddling.

III is like asking your three pirate friends if they like good games. Haha! Anyway, You cannot have a "final" fantasy and then stick a 3 on the end, ESPECIALLY when you re just gonna go and release a fourth "final" fantasy afterwards! It s frankly getting tiring at this point. When I was playing final fantasy II (already an absurd concept to the rational mind) I recall thinking "Wow, this game pisses me off and I am...

It's one of the best NES rpgs ever with a decent "2D ps1" upgrade. Not mechanically pure to the NES version but when's the last time you played an rpg on the NES? They can be rough.
