The Final Fantasy III Players Guide is an official guide for Final Fantasy VI (released in North America as Final Fantasy III on SNES). The book was written by Peter Olafson and published by Infotainment World Books in 1994. Infotainment World only published a few guides, and Peter Olafson later wrote guides for Prima. Prima also released a guide for Final Fantasy VI, although it was unofficial. In addition to licensing the Players Guide, Nintendo published their own official guide, the Final Fantasy III Nintendo Player's Guide.
The guide is illustrated with screenshots from the game and with Yoshitaka Amano's artwork. The guide puts focus on discussing the story, and is favored more for its writing style than for its service as a gameplay guide. The guide is notable for being incomplete and incorrect, such as believing the only outcome of the fish minigame is Cid's death, and stating that 256 battles with the Cursed Ring turns it into a Hero Ring.
