Charles McCarter, Product Manager for Square Enix announced via the official US Playstation Blog today that the company would be releasing Final Fantasy III to the Playstation Network for the Playstation Portable from the 25th September 2012. This is following previous remastered releases to the Nintendo DS and iOS devices.
The following is an excerpt from the blog post:
FINAL FANTASY III was the first installment in the series to include the now-famous Job System. While this band of heroes starts out as Freelancers, with time, they will each be able to learn one of 23 different jobs! Use the healing spells of the White Mage to protect your party, harness the negative energies of the world as a Dark Knight, or turn the environment itself into a weapon as a Geomancer. These are but three of the many options available — there’s a multitude of incredible of job combinations for your party. Mix and match until you find the combination you like best!
But there’s more! New features for the PSP version include: graphics optimized for the 16:9 screen, an image gallery, an option to switch to the original BGM, and an auto-battle system that doubles the speed of combat.
I recently picked it up for the iOS not expecting a PSN release for a while… a tad disappointed that I didn’t wait a week or two now.
