Final Fantasy III is a turn based, RPG game. Combat involves taking turns with the enemy. You make your move, then the enemy makes your move. As a result, you have plenty of time to decide what you want to do. Enemies are encountered through random encounters as you walk through dungeons, the overworld, and sometimes towns.

As such, controls are fairly simple. The interface is a bit more complex than the control scheme, but is easily picked up after a few minutes of play.

When in the menu, you can press L or R to scroll between characters rather than having to cancel out, select a character, and confirm selection.

The touch screen has a fair number of intuitive controls as well. To walk , touch close to the character. To run touch the edges of the touchscreen. To interact with objects, characters, chests, etc., simply tap on the target you want to interact with. When navigating the menu, instead of using the D-pad to move around, you can also simply tap the options you want to look at.

If you want to put the game down for a while and are looking for where to save, you can only save in the Overworld. If you are in a town or are in the middle of a dungeon, finish what you started and head to the Overworld to save. If you are in a hurry and cannot save, you can quicksave within a dungeon. Once the quicksave is loaded, it will be deleted, and you will have to quicksave again unless you want to lose all of your save data that happened after you last saved in the Overworld.

Sorry, save scumming right before the boss isn’t allowed this time!
