Square Enix revealed that the Final Fantasy Adventure game they’ve been teasing is a remake of the first game. Producer Masaru Oyamada spoke with Dengekiabout the upcoming title and possibilities for other future remakes.
When asked about the reason behind the remake, Oyamada explains that next year is the Mana [Seiken Densetsu in Japan] series’ 25th anniversary, so he thought about having fans get to play the games sequentially on the latest platforms.
There was a bit of an argument going on in Square Enix on whether they should do the remake as a 2D game, but Oyamada explained that it easier to control 3D games on smartphone. From there, they settled on the idea that it would be better to make it in 3D, especially should they consider doing remakes for Seiken Densetsu 2 and Seiken Densetsu 3.*
RPG Site: "When we had the chance to play the upcoming Visions of Mana earlier this month, Square Enix was kind enough to offer us a chance to have a chat with the Mana Series Producer, Masaru Oyamada-san. We talked about the long wait for another release in the series, and what the goals were when developing it."
After a demo at PAX East 2024, we sat down with Visions of Mana producer Masaru Oyamada to talk about the Mana series as a whole.
The average cost of Game Boy games has been steadily rising for years. If you look at the overall price growth, which has doubled within the last five years, then it should be pretty clear Game Boy game prices are following the trend of increasing retro video game prices.
You would have to be crazy to keep a Pokemon game in the box after getting it as a kid, though.
I still have my Final Fantasy Adventure and Zelda: Link's Awakening, but loose. I haven't had the box in... I don't know, a couple decades?
How has this not hit my radar until now? More games like this for the Vita please.
Final Fantasy Legend trilogy and Mystic Quest please!
Hopefully it sells well, Vita needs more games from well known publishers.
