Can I Run Final Fantasy III?
Final Fantasy III is a role playing game from Square Enix, released in 2021. Square Enix both developed and published it. The game supports a single player campaign. Saves sync through Steam Cloud, so moving between machines does not cost progress. With more than 2 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented. It is localised into 12 languages according to the store listing. At 5 years old it targets an older hardware baseline than most buyers now own. A pad covers most of the game, though parts of it still expect a keyboard. It is a Windows title, so the requirements below are the Windows ones. Completionists have 31 achievements to work through.

Setting and environment
The game is set in a fantasy world. Play is structured around spaces built for exploration. That openness is what costs performance. Final Fantasy III has no loading walls to hide behind, so terrain and detail keep flowing in as the player moves. The publisher supplies 10 storefront screenshots of these environments. The view is in two dimensions.
Why Final Fantasy III is demanding
Final Fantasy III barely touches the GPU. Its stated AMD Radeon R7 Graphics / Intel HD Graphics 4000 target is below anything currently sold. Final Fantasy III takes about 1 GB of disk space. Final Fantasy III needs only 4 GB of RAM.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Final Fantasy III?
Final Fantasy III is light on hardware. Its minimum, AMD Radeon™ R7 Graphics / Intel® HD Graphics 3000, 4 GB RAM, about 1 GB free, sits below what an entry-level PC ships with today, so nearly any modern machine, and many older ones, will run it.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Comfortable | 48.57x |
| 1440p | Comfortable | 27.32x |
| 4K | Comfortable | 12.14x |
A projection, not a measurement. We scale the published GPU requirement by pixel count, since 1440p draws 1.78 times the pixels of 1080p and 4K draws 4 times as many, then compare against RTX 3060 / Ryzen 5 build. The publisher did not state a target resolution, so 1080p is assumed as the baseline. We hold no frame rate data, so no FPS figure is claimed. Headroom above 1 means the reference machine has room to spare at that resolution.

Each card is compared against Final Fantasy III's published GPU requirement, assuming an otherwise-capable PC. Laptop rows use the real mobile chip's benchmark, a mobile GPU is always slower than its desktop namesake.
