Kazus is a town in Final Fantasy III. Located on the Floating Continent, it is a small town southeast of Castle Sasune, near a desert. In the 3D remake, Kazus is the hometown of Refia and her adopted father, Takka, the blacksmith.
Story[]
The Warriors of the Light arrive in Kazus and find it has been struck by a curse cast by the Djinn and everyone has been turned into a ghost. They meet Cid at the pub who lends them his airship so that they can defeat Djinn and lift the curse.
In the remake version, Luneth, when arriving in Kazus, finds Arc, who notices that everyone is under the Djinn's curse. The party encounters Cid in the pub and also meet Takka, who is worried, along with his daughter Refia. He tells the party the King has a Mythril Ring and the Warriors of the Light head to Sasune. Later, after the Wind Crystal makes her a Warrior of the Light, Refia returns to her father's house, but runs away again to follow her friends.

Quests[]
The main quest in Kazus involves investigating the town and learning of the curse on the town by the Djinn. Players are required to meet Cid in the local tavern. After speaking with Cid, the player will temporarily obtain his airship in the desert outside of town and use it to travel to Castle Sasune.
In the 3D remake, the main quest is almost the same as the original, but is expanded to include Refia and Takka. If the player attempts to return to Kazus before undoing the curse, Refia will temporarily leave the party as she cannot face her father. She will rejoin whenever the party is ready to leave.
An entrance to the optional Mythril Mines dungeon is found in the northeastern corner of the town. It contains a hidden passage that can be accessed after the Light Warriors defeat Djinn.
A revivification spring can be found inside a house.
Musical themes[]
The background music that plays in Kazus before the Djinn is defeated is called "The Djinn's Curse", and is replaced by "Return of the Warriors" after the demon is killed.
Behind the scenes[]
In Pixel Remaster, the inn in Kazus has two pictures on the wall depicting the Warrior of Light and the title screen from the first Final Fantasy.
