[edit] Japanese Title?

Seiken Densetsu: Final Fantasy Gaiden where is the source for that info? The Japanese title is Seiken Densetsu (聖剣伝説):

聖 = sei (holy)

剣 = ken (sword)

伝説 = densetsu (legend, as in Zelda (Zeruda) no Densetsu)

Seiken was a spin off Final Fantasy but never released as part of it or even under a gaiden name. The English title comes from the Final Fantasy Mystic Quest game, as SD1 was released with a name relating to the SNES title - that had the same sprites and textures in color - outside of Japan (relating to Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest in the States and Mystic Quest in countries of the European Union, relating to european SNES game title Mystic Quest Legend)

It was released under the Gaiden name in Japan. "Seiken Densetsu" was the main title shown in the game, but the "FF Gaiden" title was visible on the boxart and it is what the game is still known by in Japan (if you do a google search on it for example). Check the official Square Enix games listing here. "Seiken Densetsu ~Final Fantasy Gaiden~" (聖剣伝説 ～ファイナルファンタジー外伝～) is shown on the very bottom. --Darkhunger 06:16, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] American Title

Shouldn't it be The Final Fantasy Adventure instead of Final Fantasy Adventure? If you play the game, the title screen reads The Final Fantasy Adventure as well as if you go to several websites including gamefaqs. – DarkEvil 00:05, August 7, 2005 (UTC)

No Final Fantasy Adventure is the correct title! I don't know who told you that but the neither the boxart nor the title screen read "The Final Fantasy Adventure" (source: titlescreen screenshot and boxart scan). noctrun August 12, 2005

Probably got it confused with Final Fantasy Legend which DOES read The Final Fantasy Legend on the boxart. I have it right in front of me but can't be bothered to check if it's on the title screen as well.

[edit] Publisher

As for the publisher, Sunsoft had nothing to do with this game until they bought the rights to re-release it in 1998. I'm mostly sure that Square published it in 1991. Y0u (Y0ur talk page) (Y0ur contributions) 18:19, August 8, 2005 (UTC)

• You're right, you can go to gamespot and search for The Final Fantasy Adventure and the publisher is Square Enix, but that's because all square games are under the Square Enix category in gamespot, meaning it was Square who published it as Square Enix did not exist in that time. – DarkEvil 18:44, August 8, 2005 (UTC)

Just so no one thinks I vandalized the page, I removed the ESRB rating because, this game has no ESRB rating. It would probably be rated E if it had one, but it doesn't, so I removed the entire row for the ESRB rating.

[edit] Character Names

What exactly are the sources for the character names here? I'm pretty sure the characters have no default names in FFMQ (FFA), nor are they mentioned in the manual. Is this from the original 聖剣伝説? 130.232.131.47 23:06, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

The two names listed are actually from the Japanese instruction manual. ~ Hibana 00:11, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Are you absolutely positively sure? Because "Sumo" and "Fuji" are VERY strange names from a Japanese point of view, ones that a sane Japanese developer would never name a character for. It is almost akin an American person naming characters to something like "Football" and "Pizza". That's how weird it sounds. I am Japanese, and owned the Japanese version of the game, but I don't remember there being any default names in the Japanese instruction manual either. Just "Hero" and "Heroine". The Japanese Square Enix/Nintendo websites for both the mobile phone port and the GBA remake (Sword of Mana) of the original game agrees, with again just "Hero" and "Heroine". And googling either name in multiple possible forms along with the Seiken Densetsu title yields no mentions of such names at all. Really, where did this "Sumo" and "Fuji" come from? Needle1 03:11, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

I've looked into this matter thoroughly myself and found every single Japanese source refers to them as Hero and Heroine, right down to the game itself that asks you to name ヒーロー(Hero = Boy in FFA) and ヒロイン(Heroine = Girl in FFA). FFA's manual is also diligent enough to refer to them only as Hero (or Boy) and Heroine (or Girl), but in all screenshots in said manual the names consistently appear as Sumo and Fuji respectively. 217.132.252.155 22:58, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Final Fantasy WikiProject tag

While technically this game does go under the Seiken Densetsu series, it is also labelled Final Fantasy, and the Final Fantasy WikiProject is a direct descendant of the Computer and Video Games WikiProject, so I replaced the tag. Being bold here, is this okay? --Geopgeop 07:01, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Actually, the project states that it does cover these games. --JiFish(^Talk/_Contrib) 13:04, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New version

I'm going to make a new section that will cover the recently revealed cellular phone port. Which brings the question...should it have it's own article or just be added on to this one? It seems to be a port, so it may not need a seperate page, though several games before it have had pages dedicated to ported versions.--Claude 03:03, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

I believe we should hold off on creating another article for now. The game doesn't seem to be radically different from the original like Sword of Mana. ~ Hibana 03:12, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

I'll just add the section to this article, and under the WoM label, it will direct to that section.--Claude 08:15, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GA

This article is a quality good article. I would suggest that a bit more work is put into expanding the article as well as a peer review before it is sent for FAC. Tarret 15:15, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Part of the Final Fantasy Area?

It is listed largely as a Final Fantasy Spinoff, but remember, that truly it isn't part of the Final Fantasy line at all. In Japan it was Seiken Densetsu and completely unrelated to Final Fantasy in any way, it's only because of the American name that it get tied into the series. I think that it should be removed. For an example of it being included with Final Fantasy, look at Final Fantasy VI at the bottom where it shows links to all the games.

Nope, in Japan it's called Seiken Densetsu - Final Fantasy Gaiden. Seiken Densetsu was originally a Final Fantasy spinoff, before they decided to give it it's own series when they made Secret of Mana. Read the main page. 172.143.33.233 18:54, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Actually, the game was never meant to be related to Final Fantasy. That was a decision later in development, most likely to increase the likelyhood of success. It's not like Square hasn't done anything like that before. But since the series proved itself, the false shackles of being an FF spinoff were cut fof by Secret of Mana, and even Sword of Mana eliminates most FF connections.--Claude 20:45, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
