PS4
The risk in Final Fantasy III is missing a visit, not picking the wrong job. Keep one job to level steadily, check counters before ships and forests disappear, and save before bosses in one-time dungeons. Finish Eureka and summons before the finale.
Final Fantasy III in its 2D Pixel Remaster, with 31 PS4 trophies. The 3D remake has different systems and content.
- Trophies: 31, including platinum
- Missables: Bestiary, chests, hidden items and locations
- Job goal: One job to 99; all characters to level 50
Enter locations before they disappear
Visit the Living Woods before clearing Castle Hein. Collect the wrecked ship’s treasure before resolving the Cave of Tides. In southwest Saronia, speak to the people who offer items while Alus is in the party, before moving on to Garuda. Keep a save before each major map change.
- Check hidden items and locations, not just chests.
Clear Castle Hein and Doga’s Grotto
The castle and grotto close after their respective sequences, so explore side rooms with encounters enabled. Check the hidden item in Castle Hein as well as its chests. In the grotto, finish encounters and treasure before approaching the Doga and Unei scene: the save outside the area is your backup.
- Turn back before the scene if the map shows a missing chest.
Raise a job from the start
Let the character act in combat: if all enemies fall before their turn, that encounter will not train their job. To catch up, pick weak enemies, use Defend or a fast command, and finish the battle. Job level and character level are separate counters.
- Take one job to 99 and check that all four characters reach level 50.
Detour for the summons
Buy the summons that do not require a boss and check your inventory with a job able to learn them. Challenge Odin, Leviathan and Bahamut in their optional areas; the fight awards the spell, but make sure it is learned. Avoid using the 3D remake’s checklist as your reference.
- Compare your summon menu against Summon Master.
Open Eureka before the Crystal Tower
Use the mirror at the Crystal Tower to enter Eureka. Find the five guarded weapons across its floors and win their encounters; do not confuse sealed weapons with the shop items at the bottom. Then advance to Xande and the Cloud of Darkness. Recheck treasure, bestiary and locations before the finale.
- Do not leave Eureka before collecting the Moonring Blade, Masamune, Excalibur, Elder Staff and Ragnarok.

Frequently asked questions
Does the entire party need level 99?
No. Management Laborer needs one level 99 job; the character-level trophy requires level 50.
Can I revisit the Living Woods at the end?
No. Enter before Castle Hein concludes. If the event has passed, use an earlier save.
Does this guide apply to the 3D remake?
No. This route covers the 2D Pixel Remaster PS4 list. The 3D remake does not use these requirements.
