About Final Fantasy III

Final Fantasy III — Super Famicom edition
Final Fantasy III · Super Famicom · 1994

Final Fantasy III (released as FFVI in Japan) is a masterpiece of steampunk fantasy, ensemble storytelling, and magical Esper customization.

Ensemble character arcs across a fractured world

Lead a cast of 14 permanent party members through the World of Balance and the post-apocalyptic World of Ruin. Features active-time battle (ATB), Esper magic teaching, relic accessories, and deeply personal character vignettes.

Esper magic customization and relic synergies

Equip the Phantom Esper to grant the party Vanish, rendering heroes immune to physical strikes. Combine with magical relics to dominate early-game boss fights.

Squaresoft’s 16-bit role-playing magnum opus

This is the North American Super NES release of Squaresoft’s acclaimed Final Fantasy VI.

Background and mechanics: Wikipedia game reference.

Secret Codes & Cheats

Check the edition and timing requirements before entering a code. Button names refer to the emulated controller; use your assigned keyboard or controller inputs.

Vanish + Doom Instant Kill Combo
Cast Vanish, then immediately cast Doom or X-Zone

In the original SNES version, Vanish lowers magic defense to 0% and eliminates death immunity flags. Casting Doom or X-Zone immediately kills nearly every boss in the game, including Intangir and Doom Gaze.

Uncurse the Paladin Shield
Equip Cursed Shield with a Ribbon and win 256 battles

Winning 256 battles cleanses the curse, transforming it into the Paladin Shield—the strongest shield in the game, teaching the Ultima spell at x1 rate.

Wind God Cyan (8x Screen Wipe)
Equip Genji Glove + Master's Scroll + 2x Kazekiri (Tempest)

Cyan strikes 8 times per round, with each swing carrying a 50% chance to trigger Wind Slash, clearing entire enemy parties in a single turn.
