Faria: A World of Mystery and Danger' is an action role playing game developed by Game Arts and Hi-Score, and published by Nexoft in 1990 for the Nintendo Entertainment System.

[edit] Plot
The game begins with an intro telling of a prophecy that has come to pass, though not devulging much detail into the matter. The player controls a female character who wakes up within a town and the first "mission" is to rescue the kidnapped princess from an evil wizard. During the game's course, it is revealed that the main character is actually a male, who was cursed by the wizard. This marks one of the earliest exaples of transgenderism in video games.
[edit] Features
The player contols a female character through overworlds, towns, towers and caves. Standard RPG "Levels", HP, items, and upgrades. 3 game saving slots rather than passcodes. Overhead view action oriented battles. Randomly generated battles while traversing the overworld.
