You may wonder why in a site that is about Seiken Densetsu series is posting anything about the Final Fantasy series. But it does have something with Seiken Densetsu to do. FF Retrospective is about the Final Fantasy franchise in video form. Each week GameTrailer is posting a new video about the series, and will end after 13 parts. In this part, the tenth, you will see a short report about the very first game of Seiken Densetu. The game that started the series. Sheexy will probably love this, since it’s his favourite game of the series.
Indeed! Let us all play Final Fantasy Adventure, my favorite game in the Seiken Densetsu series!
Oh wait, what if you don’t have the game, or are too lazy to play? Then there is another solution!
Captain Duck to the rescue!
A neat guy who goes by Captain Duck has taken it upon himself to play through Final Fantasy Adventure and narrate it! The videos are really fun and I definitely recommend it! There is a lot of fun information in these videos, and the dude has a pretty killer accent!
So far there are five videos up, when more come out I’ll keep you updated!
This week, I bring you not only the Music Monday, but another batch of updates which are related to the pieces below. I’ve chosen these two by Hiroki Kikuta, because in spite their overall simplicity, they greatly enhance the emotional connection to the story.
Expired
I don’t know about you guys, but when I go to watch a film in the cinema, I stay right ’til the end of the credits while everyone else starts packing out like rats from a sinking ship, and there are several reasons I do this. Read the rest of this entry »
But Sheexy, you say, today is Labor day! What are you doing updating the site on they day when you aren’t supposed to do any work?
The answer is plain and simple: I got really bored.
Head on over to the Final Fantasy Adventure Weapons Page and check out the scans of the weapons I got for you! All of the weapons are there, except for the Zeus Axe and XCalibur… for some strange reason those two didn’t make it into the guide.
Expect to see the armor page updated sometime this week!
The Final Fantasy Adventure overhaul has begun! Head on over to the Final Fantasy Adventure magic page and check out the magic spell drawings I’ve scanned in. I’m going to keep working at scanning and cleaning up the images from the Japanese guide and after a while all of the FFA sections will have some nice images to go with them.
I know it’s kind of funny for me to focus my work on the oldest game, but man, that game is my favorite!
Also, this update is kind of small because I finally got around to getting Dawn of Mana and am currently playing through it. The game is really fun and the controls aren’t too bad, but seriously, the story is terrible!
Now this is the story all about how
The hero’s life got flipped, turned upside down
And I’d like to take a minute so just sit right there
I’ll tell you how he became the hero of a world called Fa’Diel
The Final Fantasy Adventure Merchandise section is now up and running here. Check it out to learn about all the awesome and old FFA stuff that are out there for you to collect.
From here on out the Merchandise section pages might take a little longer, because when it came to Legend of Mana, Sword of Mana, Children of Mana and Dawn of Mana Square apparently decided they needed to make lots of goodies for the series.
We have another new remix over in our Final Fantasy Adventure Remixes section courtesy of OCRemix and Big Giant Circles, called Amanda’s Tear. It takes the theme In Sorrow and applies a well orchestrated electronica feel to it, with a nifty guitar solo thrown in for good measure. Check it out!
Today is a busy day for updates all round, so I shall detain you no longer.
First off, you can now click on the link for Friends of Mana over in the menu on your right because, that’s right, the Friends of Mana section is now open for business. While only currently bringing you a detailed overview of the game (which as far as I can tell is the most detailed one available to date in English), hopefully at some point we will be able to expand on some of the finer details of this game, though not necessarily as a high priority since, let’s face it, unless you’re in Japan you’re not going to play the game anyway.
Secondly, I decided to go through all the old games in the series and write-up an introductory overview page for them in the same manner that I had done for Dawn (not the review, that was done by Duran, and a great job too) and Children of Mana. So you can now find a bit of history and brief description of FFA, SoM, SD3, SwoM and CoM (revamped). Legend of Mana will also join the ranks at some point, need to work out a few things for that first (since right now that game is covered by qLoM).
And keep filling out those Polls that Wai has put in place! 😉
