Introduction to Final Fantasy 3

Final Fantasy 3 is a fantasy RPG involving a mix of magic and technology. After the War of the Magi, a magical war which caused the destruction of civilization, science begins to develop; after a thousand years, magic is all but forgotten, and technology reigns. Yet, despite the relative peace in the world, there are a few power-hungry men. One, by the name of Gestahl, decides he wants to conquer the world, and begins building an empire. Slowly, more and more towns fall to Gestahl and the Empire.
