Final Fantasy III was never realeased outside of Japan in its original form. This walkthrough uses fan made English translation patch made before official Nintendo DS remake. There's some naming difference between different versions of the game so I'm gonna stick with names as they appear in this video.

All micromanagement left intact as is. Most of random NPC dialogue was skipped unless its important to the story or if they say something funny. This playthrough doesn't use any luck manipulation or tool assists so there might be some occasional inefficiencies during exploration and battles.

This walkthrough had to be split in 2 parts due to 12 hour video limit set by YouTube. Full walkthrough takes about 18 hours.

Ancient Ruins contain strong enemies that split in 2 upon attacking. There are 3 ways of dealing with this threat. 1 - Use Dark Knight equipped with dark swords. 2 - Use weapons that inflict Paralysis. 3 - Just remember that each new enemy inherits its HP from its parent. Thus a clone never starts with full HP. Keep attacking and eventually you will win. And on other note dark swords only become available after Ancient Ruins so the easiest solution isn't a real option.
