Seiken Densetsu!

Just picked this up today after wanting it complete for some time. Going to be my first ever playthrough! During covid I experienced Secret of Mana for the first time and it has since become my favorite JRPG alongside Chrono Trigger. Anyways all this time years later even collecting Gameboy I had no idea with the final fantasy games on Gameboy that this was actually the first game of the Mana series! (I thought it was part of the final fantasy legend series or etc)

Anyways I thought I would share with you all! Cannot wait to play this 35 year old game for the first time ever!!

Yeah, the funny thing is, even the "Final Fantasy Legend" games aren't Final Fantasy--they are part of the SaGa series.

Squaresoft had only one RPG success in the US so they assumed (probably rightly) if they didn't associate these games with Final Fantasy, they probably wouldn't sell.

It didn't matter to me. This is, and has been, my favorite GB game since I first bought it at a flea market for $10 (with manual and map!) back around 91 or 92.

Thanks for the comment! Yeah the whole FF and saga / mystic quest and so on was pretty confusing until i figured it out! I’m looking forward to starting a new playthrough tomorrow. Glad to know it’s your favorite game! I also made sure to buy a copy with the map and manual for references… I don’t want to look up anything online

I have a feeling it will be one of mine as soon as I do my playthrough!
