Square's Final Fantasy III utilizes an Active Time Battle system to manage combat through pseudo-turn-based menu commands. Players manage a party of up to four characters drawn from a cast of fourteen playable characters. The gameplay involves navigating a steampunk fantasy world to combat the Gestahlian Empire and their experiments with magical Espers.
