American Name: Final Fantasy Adventure (GAMEBOY)
Japanese Name:
Seiken Densetsu (GAMEBOY)

The very first SEIKEN DENSETSU game that ever came out was actually renamed as part of the Final Fantasy series even though it had nothing to do with any of the Final Fantasy stories or battle systems. Why it was renamed to this title is what I'm about to explain.
As the Final Fantasy series became big hits ever since the very first one for the NES, why not make some for the GB. So they did.
They've created Final Fantasy Legend 1-3 and then Final Fantasy Adventure. Or I think it was Final Fantasy Adventure and THEN Final Fantasy 1-3. Whatever.
Anybody who liked the Final Fantasy Series is sure to buy and like the ones for the Gameboy and so it was another success for Squaresoft and its Final Fantasy games.

Japanese Name:
Seiken Densetsu 2 (Super Famicom)

Another one that was renamed when it released throughout the US, but wasn't renamed as part of the Final Fantasy series is this game. Instead, they renamed it to Secret of Mana which is alright for everybody since this game was a big hit.
One thing that is so cool about this game is that it was translated right when it came out. And the good part is that it took Squaresoft a month to translate the whole game! That's the new translating record ever!

Seiken Densetsu 3 (Super Famicom)

Never been released in the US, this game was the best Secret of Mana game ever to hit Japan. Nobody, even I never knew why Squaresoft never released this game to US shores. It really sucks to know that this game was the best, but never was it translated. But oh well... there's always ROMS!

All I can say is that this game is the funnest out of all the Secret of Mana games. BUY IT!!
