Rather, it had more of an action / adventure feel - somewhat similar to The Legend of Zelda - while leaving in some vestigial RPG elements. The 1991 title didn’t take the typical turn-based RPG approach like the games in the main Final Fantasy series.
I’ve spent the last month putting about 15 hours into Final Fantasy Adventure, and I’m kicking myself for waiting so long.įinal Fantasy Adventure was originally released in Japan as Seiken Densetsu: Final Fantasy Gaiden on the Game Boy. But once Collection of Mana came out, I knew it was time. 25 years later and I still hadn’t gotten around to playing Adventure, despite my love for Secret of Mana. I made the wrong choice and bought the latter. I held Final Fantasy Adventure in one hand and Final Fantasy Legend in the other.
SECRET OF MANA ROM EASY LEVEL UP SERIES
I’ve played Secret of Mana before, so I was particularly interested in seeing how the first game in the Seiken Densetsu series informed the second one.Īs a young and foolish boy in the mid ‘90s, I ventured to what was then the only Best Buy in the Boston area.
Or, if Japanese company M2 - which handled the Sega Ages series and the games on the Sega Genesis Mini - is involved in a port, I can be reasonably sure that a title has been lovingly and thoroughly recreated.Ĭollection of Mana ticks both of those boxes, so I picked up the compilation - which includes Final Fantasy Adventure (the first game in the Mana series), Secret of Mana and Trials of Mana - on the Nintendo Switch. For example, I’d rather play an RPG on a console I know is going to keep my progress safe, since cartridge batteries can be iffy. (I still have all of my 8- and 16-bit consoles, the Japanese equivalents of each, as well as a few CRTs to play them on.) There are a few situations, though, when playing on a more modern system is warranted. When I play older games, I usually prefer to do so with the original cartridge and on original hardware.
