Review table

I feel that the review table is way too big, especially when only a handful of sources reviewed the other versions of the games. It should be limited to only the SNES version, in my opinion. Cukie Gherkin (talk) 05:11, 31 March 2025 (UTC)

I've split it up and added and clarified some reviews. Some reviews did not even exist in the magazines discussed. Those PlayStation reviews are also a bit iffy as they are reviewing compilations that contain more than just this game, so its a bit (maybe more than "a bit") iffy to say they are reviews of this game, or even a port of the game. That said, the section probably should have reviews of the new pixel remaster and other re-releases since. Andrzejbanas (talk) 21:09, 11 August 2025 (UTC)

Release Date?

Says "October 11, 1994". But I got this on my birthday in August of this year. So how is that possible? 185.85.155.35 (talk) 14:31, 19 June 2025 (UTC)

"Street dates" weren't kept to very strictly back then. August seems pretty early, though, seeing as all of the magazine reviews came out in the October/November issues. --PresN 18:55, 19 June 2025 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for replying. Saw someone on Reddit, with a photograph of him playing FFIII on SNES, with the player's guide, "in the summer of 1994". Another said, he spent all of spring of 1994 playing it. Though that seems to early for me. I am writing a memoirs of my life, for my kids, and I am autistic, I don't know. I would like to see if there is any way to confirm these dates. Because it seems impossible to have mistaken getting this for my birthday. It was one of the greatest days of my life. I was in my late teens. So my memory is fairly good from back then. It was the only game I got on release. 130.0.28.141 (talk) 12:24, 12 October 2025 (UTC)

My birthday is August 29th. So Probably September!? 130.0.28.141 (talk) 12:42, 12 October 2025 (UTC)

Also, I am from NY. We apparently has a different version of FFII, than everyone else! 130.0.28.141 (talk) 12:45, 12 October 2025 (UTC)

According to several websites pulled up by "AI chat", it was released September 30th! I am not sure if I can post links here... 130.0.28.141 (talk) 12:48, 12 October 2025 (UTC)

I found a guy on reddit. Photo of his original receipt. He bought FFIII the 4th of October, 1994! That is before any release date! 130.0.28.141 (talk) 18:00, 13 October 2025 (UTC)

Vandalism

"In this conflict, three quarreling entities known as the "Warring Triad" used innocent humans as soldiers by transforming them into enslaved magical beings called Espers. The Triad realized their wrongdoings; they freed the espers and sealed their own powers inside three stone statues."

That is nowhere in the game. ~2025-32161-29 (talk) 17:55, 17 November 2025 (UTC)

Did you read the inscriptions of the statues in that cave in the mountain to the west of Thamasa? Mr Fink (talk) 19:31, 17 November 2025 (UTC)

Proposed edits to improve Retrospective section and Review tables

Hi all,

I am planning to make some improvements to this article. My main focus is going to be on:

• Condensing the "Retrospective" section by reducing the excessive review listings and summarizing consensus more clearly.
• Cleaning up the review table and updating it with new information

I will make these changes incrementally and welcome any feedback along the way.

Thanks! Castleaaron (talk) 00:51, 30 March 2026 (UTC)

Adding on to the above, I will be focusing on incorporating some of the archived primary sources that have been pinned at the top of this talk page but have not yet been used in the article. Specifically, I am looking at the top 10 Final Fantasy game source, and the 30th anniversary source, which seem relevant to the Legacy and Retrospective sections. I will make these changes incrementally as well and welcome any feedback.

Thanks! Laparva (talk) 17:49, 1 April 2026 (UTC)

Adding on to the above, I have gone ahead and made a couple of specific updates to the article based on the goals mentioned earlier.

First, I noticed the active discussion on this talk page regarding the North American release date, so I added some clarifying context to the Localization section to address that historical ambiguity.

Second, I trimmed the end of the Legacy section by removing the outdated 2010 and 2015 speculation about unmade DS/3DS remakes. My initial edit to remove this was caught in an automatic revert, but I have restored it with a clearer edit summary to help clean up the bloat in that section.

I will be monitoring these changes and welcome any feedback or adjustments from the community. Kolli100 (talk) 03:16, 2 April 2026 (UTC)
