The games Final Fantasy III and Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo Tales (Chocobo to Mahou no Ehon) will be released in Australia and New Zealand by Ubisoft this May. Both titles have a lot to offer offer Final Fantasy fans from both areas.

Final Fantasy III is much more than a remake of the original that graced the NES 17 years ago.The game has undergone many changes, and if you want to read up on it you can check the previous article we did on it.

In Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo Tales you play a chocobo who must compete in a variety of mini-games and microgames. You will have to do this to save lost friends and restore peace to the land. A pretty strange storyline but that's ok since it's Final Fantasy. The game will have a card-based combat system. In addition, Nintendo's Wi-Fi allows multiplayer with 2-4 players where you can play cooperatively to finish the game or play mini games against each other.

Final Fantasy III will be released on May 4 this year in both Australia and New Zealand with Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo Tales following sometime the end of the month to both regions as well. Check out the screenshots of the PAL version and see if it's your cup of tea.
