Well, this is the very first game of the series. However, I DO NOT know anything about his game but it's the first game in the japanese series of Seiken Densetsu. The battle system is like Zelda! Yes, go around and kill the cute little guy on the start of this paragraph with your HUGE sword! Okay, the main character is a gladiator from somewhere, and he goes around kicking butt while asking help from other people to kick the Dark Lord's ass! Various people comes around and help you by joining your party for a while! I think that sometime they will leave your party, and that's the bad news. =P Anyways, you get to ride a Chocobo like in the REAL Final Fantasy series!

Good news for you! You actually get to play this game if you got a GBA! The remake of this game is called Shinyaku Seiken Densetsu or right here in the USA, it's called Sword of Mana! I don't know when the release date is, so check out IGA or RPGamer if you can. I tell you, it's in better quality now! ^_^
