Squaresoft sure does like to complicate things. And now they're up to what... Final Fantasy 15? Ugh.<br /><br />I really wanted to comment to say YAY, Seiken Densetsu 3!! I love love love 2D RPGs, its awesome that you're spreading the love in your blog through music!

However, its prequel, Final Fantasy Adventure (Seiken Densetsu 1), was made exclusively for the handheld. Later on, Final Fantasy Adventure was remade for the Game Boy Advance as Sword of Mana. Perhaps you're thinking of one of those.<br /><br />Regardless, Final Fantasy Adventure did have some awesome music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwpzdyCvqN0<br /><br />On an unrelated note, don't let Final Fantasy Adventure's title fool you. As stated earlier, it was actually Seiken Densetsu 1 (Secret of Mana being Seiken Densetsu 2). It was merely localized as a Final Fantasy game to promote sales. Same thing was done with the original SaGa games for the Game Boy, which were localized as Final Fantasy Legend.<br /><br />Yeah, don't you love it? Kinda like how Final Fantasy IV and VI were localized as II and III. But oh wait, there's still a gap between that and Final Fantasy VII. Good job Square. What a mess. To simplify things:<br />Final Fantasy Adventure = Seiken Densetsu<br />Secret of Mana = Seiken Densetsu 2<br />Seiken Densetsu 3 = Seiken Densetsu 3<br /><br />Also, I just learned that there was originally going to be a sequel to Seiken Densetsu for the Famicom Disk System that would've spanned five disks. Holy. But that might explain why Secret of Mana feels unfinished/wonky in a few places: http://www.unseen64.net/2008/04/14/secret-of-mana-nes/SynthRockEnginehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06546462777950606440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5027137025016376902.post-39480647745589524632011-05-14T17:57:24.647-04:002011-05-14T17:57:24.647-04:00good to knowgood to knowJack Stanleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00531183059035762186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5027137025016376902.post-33173774160706669052011-05-14T17:56:45.214-04:002011-05-14T17:56:45.214-04:00Great post again!

It's an extraordinary game. Plus you get to choose a team of three out of six characters, each with their own storyline, which is pretty cool.SynthRockEnginehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06546462777950606440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5027137025016376902.post-21901364688736576102011-05-14T16:59:56.920-04:002011-05-14T16:59:56.920-04:00I'll have to fire up my emulator and give Seik...I'll have to fire up my emulator and give Seiken Densetsu 3 a try, since you hold it in such high regard.
