One of the best RPGs ever made, Square Enix’ Final Fantasy III, is now available in the App Store [iTunes link, $15.99]. But before you download: this is not the FFIII you know from your Super Nintendo days. That game was actually the sixth FF in Japan (Square America skipped a few titles in the 1990s), while the FFIII released now is also part 3 in Japan.

Officially announced just last month, the new iOS title is kind of a remake of the DS version that was released on 2006 – the first time the “real” FFIII was localized into English.

Judging from the trailer and screenshots, the iOS port looks much better (here‘s an early review).

If you don’t want to pay $15.99 for FFIII now, no problem: Square Enix’ today reduced the price of its lot other iPhone apps (iTunes link).

Here’s the FFIII trailer:
