One of the benefits of this system is, that if you hit a little wall, you can always just go and grind monsters for an extra level or two and overcome the wall.

The soundtrack of Final Fantasy III is still a feast for your ears, it’s really amazing how much they managed to do with the tools they had back in the day.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics have been given a complete makeover and they are GORGEOUS, a complete upgrade from the SNES original which had inferior graphics to later games like FFVI and V.
