>> Question about Saga games.
>>> Are really these games related to each other?? at RPGamer they placed them as the same franchise/series.
I wonder why FF titled games are placed there..

>> The black orb glitters ominously... but nothing happens..
The Final Fantasy Legend games are SaGa games. They were renamed Final Fantasy when they were released in America, given that FF had at least a bit of name recognition.
>>> I see.. it was like Mystic Quest. They shouldn´t have done that, it only confuses people..
>> The black orb glitters ominously... but nothing happens..
Mystic Quest was a full-fledged FF game. I believe it was made by Square's US office, but I could be completly wrong. Regardless, it was an FF game.
It's more like Final Fantasy Adventure, which was originally another game in Japan, which I cant remember... someone will come and correct me.
>>> Well maybe I dont know the real deal about MQ, but I think it cant be a FF game.
After all Square Japan is the real thing and I dont think Square's US office has the right to create its own FF games..
>> The black orb glitters ominously... but nothing happens..
It's not like they just randomly did it on their own. Square is Square, FF is FF. Bad game or not, it's an FF.
>>> Im even more confused now, in all the years i have spent in this forums, lots of people have said and keep saying that MQ isnt a real FF game..
Someone must be wrong..
>> The black orb glitters ominously... but nothing happens..
I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure I'm right http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/snes/data/532476.html
If I'm not, someone will be along to correct me.
>>> At least im sure of one thing.
Square sure is careless about how the foreign market title its games.

FF adventure was one of the seiken densetsu's, the original I believeOriginally Posted by TheAbominatrix
Organized people are just to lazy to look for things.
Yeah, Seiken Densetsu sounds right.
Square wasnt careless, they were thinking logically. FF already had a fan base, albeit a small one. So they could either a) market the game by its original name, in a time when RPGs werent at all mainstream or b) market it by an FF name, which gave it at least a fighting chance. Although it is annoying the way Square screwed up the names and numbers, I can easily see their reasoning.
Final Fantasy Mystic Quest was made in Japan, but it was intended for an American audience.
Makai Toushi SaGa for the WonderSwan Color is a remake of the original Makai Toushi SaGa for the GameBoy, which was called The Final Fantasy Legend outside of Japan.
Despite all the MQ bashing that goes on, I think it's a cute little game.
>>> I like the game too..
>> The black orb glitters ominously... but nothing happens..

Square tended to name things what they're actually called after they started making games for PS1. Kind of nice, actually.
