It's really very simple. They decided to release the set of SaGa games for Gameboy in America. Since there were no SaGa games here at the time, they changed their names to Final Fantasy Legend, for a little bit of brand recognition.

By "Final Fantasy Legend" in that scanned page they mean:
READ THE ARTICLE.What the heck o.O;; Sakaguchi and his new development studio "Mistwalker" will be making two exclusive RPGs for Microsoft. But nothing was ever mentioned of them being Final Fantasy anything. One will be "a cute lighthearted affair starring super deformed characters, while the other will be more mature and feature an incredible setting that appears seemlessly real".
As pointed out above, paying slightly more attention would have shown that there is nothing that even remotely suggests any sort of FF on X-Box 2. The title alone makes that clear. The "Final Fantasy Legend" referred to is Sakaguchi himself. Mistwalker will be developing games for X-Box 2, but they will have absolutely nothing to do with Final Fantasy. Please note that there is no affiliation between SE and Mistwalker.
I dont think that "the final fantasy legend" had to be reffering to sakaguchi. The first one for gb was titled "the final fantasy legend" the rest were just ff legend II and III. I agree though that ff going to anything Microsoft is higly unlikely. Even more unlikely is the idea on an affiliation between Mist walker and SE since I believe Square practically shoved sakaguchi out the door after the fiasco that was "the spirits within."Originally Posted by masamune1600
Organized people are just to lazy to look for things.
Despite the fact that the peice of the article quoted by Kane shows that they were refering to Sakaguchi and it had nothing to do with FF games?
The bigger headline says "Microsoft and the Mistwalker" and the subtitle, if you will, is the "Final Fantasy Legend signs on for Xbox 2" part.
Also, a video game cannot sign on for anything. Square Enix would sign on for Xbox 2, if they were dumb and wanted to remake a pretty unpopular game.
Edit: That quote's not from the article, Ashley, I just didn't want to explain the whole thing.
Eh, whatever, it's close enough.
I can't believe this has been debated this far. People, the Legend they refer to IS Sakaguchi. It says so in that article. The scan is impossible to read, but it was in EGM as well, which is what I quoted from. The guy behind the FF franchise is a Legend. He canNOT make FF games under Mistwalker. Squeenix owns that title. I'm sure his games will have a FF flare, but they are NOT remaking FF Legends. And even if those games ever WERE remade, they would most likely not be on X-Box 2, and they'd be re-named back to their original names, which was part of the SaGa series. Seiken Densetsu or whatever. Not to mention all this confusion is over a game called Final Fantasy LegendS. There's an S! This says Legend. Again, that Legend is Sakaguchi. Not a game *breathe*
...Thankfully Kane, 'natrix, and Masamune have their head still on their shoulders. The rest of you are sheep!
FF Legend was SaGa, FF Adventure was Seiken Densetsu. Just for reference. And thanks. <3
And for futher refrence FFAdventure was remade and released as Sword of Mana, which is a close enough translation of Seiken Densetsu, on the GBA. Therefore Legends would probably be rerelased as SaGa, if they did!
Ah I always get them confused... Thanks for the info.
