This Isn't Actually a Final Fantasy Game

[@Nowinthe90s]

►► Hey everybody, Jared here to let you know that I'll be appearing at RETROPALOOZA in Arlington, TX on September 16th & 17th!! I'd love for you come say hi and check out all the retro games and nostalgia for sale. I'll be doing panels, autograph sessions and hanging around all weekend!! Get details here -- retropalooza.com

I was lead gameplay programmer and hero moveset designer for Shinobi 3DS! Thanks for mentioning its existence. The lead designer and I took some of the lessons from there and went on to form our own little 2-man studio and made Volgarr the Viking, with ProJared being one of our first major reviewers!

Ah yes, the good old days where the same game on different consoles would in fact be a *completely* different game. I feel for ya, Dylan.

[@vincentvanghool6723]

I remember the Final Fantasy Legend series from when I was a kid. I saved my allowance every week, and bought them as I could. I played III religiously, though. I'm gonna have to find those and play them again. I miss those.

Each episode is a blast! I always look forward to releases from back in the day. A weekly fix of nostalgia.

[@jasonblalock4429]

The funny thing is, SaGa III arguably wasn't "really" a SaGa game either. It was developed by a totally different team from the first two, with very different gameplay. It didn't even involve the series creator, who was off making the first Romancing SaGa for SNES.

[@brycearmstrong9370]

Yeah, it was the most Final Fantasyish of the Saga gameboy games. I played a translation of the DS remake, and that one was redone to be a Saga game.

[@Steve-Fiction]

Either way, the game rocks. It has a great setting (as is standard for all three of these games) and the soundtrack is amazing.

[@HylianFox3]

This is also true. SaGa 3 is much more akin to a Final Fantasy game than a SaGa game. It suffered from an identity crisis all around.

[@akiradkcn]

By that logic the later FF games arent final Fantasy either... ...uh ... That kind of makes sense now that I think about it

[@MrTableDesk]

​@@akiradkcnyeah from what I remember it was the Final Fantasy Mystic Quest team.

[@PapaWolfGTG]

I didn’t get a computer in my home until I was 18, so my exposure to Wing Commander was on the SNES. To say I became a fan is an understatement. The two SNES games started me on a path to being very active in the online Wing Commander community to this day. I now own every version of every game that has ever been released in the US and play the entire series regularly!

[@JazGalaxy]

WOW. I’m happy to hear someone played and liked the snes version. I was always confused why origin kept releasing crappy versions of their games on console since I assumed nobody actually played them. They always got pretty ripped in magazines.

I should point out that Ted Woolsey's first localization was not FF Legends/SaGa 3. Instead, that honor belongs to Final Fantasy Mystic Quest, released about a year prior. Despite being made specifically for the west, Mystic Quest was developed in Japan by one of Square's smaller teams, thus requiring a translation.

[@JazGalaxy]

I’m not correcting you in any way, but technically he doesn’t have to work on games in the order they are released. But you probably know way more about this than I do.

[@tempestfennac9687]

Regarding Dylan's comment about wanting to be told if games on different systems are significantly different to each other, Sparkster and Animaniacs are completely different on the SNES and Mega Drive despite having the same box art so that may be relevant when they come out (oddly, the Game Boy version is basically a cut-down version of the Mega Drive version so that one can be skipped).

[@MrNightshade2010]

i remeber when you could get a diffrent version of a game on each system ,,,,,,,,,

[@tempestfennac9687]

@@MrNightshade2010 With the 2 I mentioned I think the issue stemmed from Nintendo having some sort of deal with Konami where ports of SNES games couldn't appear on other consoles, which would explain the different TMNT, Castlevania and Contra games released for the SNES and Mega Drive (I can't remember exactly if that was the case being as it's been ages since I heard it, but it wouldn't explain why Game Boy Animaniacs is how it is).

[@TheWrathAbove]

​@@tempestfennac9687Gameboy being a sized down version is almost certainly due to size contraints, literally just not enough space on the cartidge

[@tempestfennac9687]

@@TheWrathAbove Yep. Thinking about it, doing what the Mega Drive version did also seems like it would have taken less space (I think the SNES version would have needed more buttons while the MD version only needed 3 for action, jump and change character).

Dylan, Jurassic Park for the Game Gear is different than all the other Jurassic Park games EXCEPT for the Master System version.

[@jasonblalock4429]

Yeah, Wing Commander was amazing on PC. And while the SNES version wasn't AS good, it's goddamn amazing that it was actually playable. I still don't know how they pulled that off. The DOS version needed something along the lines of a 386/16mhz to run well, so how'd they get it running on the SNES's dinky 4mhz CPU?

[@Drakxii]

Wing Commander movie will always be a guilt pleasure movie for me, love the gritty war movie vibe of it.

The final fantasy legend games were great. Each one had wildly different systems in them to experiment with. Humans level up, monsters eat meat to evolve, and robot primarily gain stats based on what gear they equip. Lots going on to make playthroughs very different.

[@JRock424]

Here's a true fact about Wing Commander, most specifically the movie. The screenings during the first weekend showed the first teaser trailer for Star Wars Episode I. When SW fans found out they went to the theatres in droves and paid full ticket price for Wing Commander just to see the trailer. After the trailer ended they promptly left the theatre. Because of that the movie grossed at #1 that weekend even though the majority didn't stay to watch it.

[@silvermknight]

Not only do I remember the Wing Commander movie but, I even remember the animated series.

[@buchiklop110]

Forget the Wing Commander movie, remember the Wing Commander TV series made by USA Network (yes, the same network that made Monk and Psych) and had a kinda, sorta crossover with the Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, and Savage Dragon cartoons?

[@jasonblalock4429]

Yeah, the animated series was actually pretty decent, and it brought back Hamill, Wilson, and McDowell in the leads. It was a lot more faithful than the (sigh) movie, anyway.

[@mattkuhn6634]

I remember the Wing Commander movie! “Give them the broadside, Mr. Gerard!”

[@moomoocupcakes]

Editor Dylan, would you ever consider perhaps doing deep dives into some of the games being released? Maybe not a let's play but like a video explaining more about a game such as development, release, gameplay, reviews, or if there are different versions of games a look into what's different (if anything). It could be nice supplementary material between the weekly episodes. You could maybe even do the same for consoles. Since we're in 1993 you could keep it at 1993 and back for the time being. Or jump way ahead to 97-99 and when we get to those years later come back to 90-93.

[@Jim_from_Centerville]

Love these videos, they're always a great start to the weekend! I absolutely remember Wing Commander! It was the movie that played after the SW Episode 1 trailer debut.

[@bostonrailfan2427]

[@velosify5774]

Couple of nitpicks/minor errors I picked up on here: you don't recruit monsters/cyborgs in Legend III, your characters transform into/from them; your characters don't increase their stats from using commands in battle, that only happens in Legend and Legend II.

[@chriskoschik391]

A lot of the team that worked on Final Fantasy Mystic Quest worked on Final Fantasy Legend 3 and it shows, from the gameplay, to the music, to the graphics. Fun fact, the Stone spell can wipe out just about every non-boss enemy in the game lol

[@brycearmstrong9370]

While it got fixed in a lot of subsequent versions, the Mute spell actually worked on a number of bosses. Considering I never liked doing things an indirect way, I don't even remember why I tried it in the first place but it turned some of the bosses into tame puppies.

[@chriskoschik391]

[@TigerNightmare]

Secret Missions on SNES was my first exposure to Wing Commander, I've loved the franchise ever since. There _are_ different outcomes, however. While (spoiler alert) the Goddard colony is going to get slaughtered by the secret weapon no matter what, completing your missions successfully determines whether or not you play two missions in which the you protect the Tiger's Claw as she retreats, or two missions in which you pursue and destroy the enemy dreadnought that has the weapon. Retreating results in the Kilrathi decimating the Terran Confederation, where they enslave humans to death, while destroying the weapon obviously lets the humans live to fight another day with the Kilrathi emperor executing his admiral for this failure.

[@TearyEyesAnderson]

The thing I remember most about Wing Commander is part III: Heart of the Tiger, which had Mark Hamill. I was hoping it was his return to acting in scifi, and he'd soon be in a 'Star Wars: Heir to the Empire' movie. Instead, 20 years later we got about 1 minute of him in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and then find out he tried to kill his nephew, then ran away to live as a hermit. Then dies because he heroically force hologramed himself across the galaxy. {sigh} Although there is a new 'Star Wars: Heir to the Empire' movie CGI adaption without Mark Hamill, by DarthAngelus. And a earlier Motion comic version of the story. But sadly, after the Disney-Verse sequel movies, I tossed my Star Wars stuff.

The Jurassic Park game on SNES actually included a LOT of stuff from the book that wasn't in the movie (including the rocket launcher) so I suspect it was mostly developed without access to anything from the movie other than some production stills used for the scanned images of character faces. I liked it WAY better than the one on the Genesis. It was also notable for being an early title to feature surround sound as an option which was nice for the first person sections.

[@WillKeaton]

The main character of the _Shinobi_ series is Joe _Musashi,_ not Hayabusa. You probably got him mixed up with Ryu Hayabusa from _Ninja Gaiden._

I love the FFL games on Gameboy! Those and FFA were a huge part of my childhood! Funny how none of them are actual FF games. Great games nevertheless 🤘

Eh, to me FFA is an actual FF game. All those Final Fantasy character designs immediately make me think of Final Fantasy.

[@tamerkoh]

Hehehe well, at least Final Fantasy Adventure is the only one that actually has an excuse for the name. The original Japanese name is Final Fantasy Gaiden: Seiken Densetsu, so it wasn't a name change this time. And it does at least feature the similar elements from FF, like the spell names, reused sprites from FF3 NES, and an actual chocobo later in the game. But that's about it, lol. Sword of Mana is an interesting reimagining of it on GBA . I wouldn't say it replaces the original, since it plays very differently, and the story differs a lot, even though the main beats are the same. A more modern 1:1 remake of it called Adventures of Mana is available on smartphones and PS Vita.

It's so easy to forget how many sports games were made then, when there's basically a monopoly now. I wish we could get back to somewhere between 10,000 options and 1 for sports franchises. Damn you EA.

[@monstersociety3360]

I don't like sports OR sports video games, but you've got a good point. The NFL, NBA & so on should be allowed to license themselves to MULTIPLE gaming corporations, otherwise sports games will stagnate. (Like they have, I'm sure) Still, there is SOME competition. The Mario Sports series, including Mario Golf, Tennis & so on. There's also "Golf Story" & the sequel "Sports Story" as well as a fistful of others, so innovation definitely exists, but... it really is a darned shame that EA is commercializing, monopolizing & ultimately killing sports games so much. I mean, PONG was basically meant to be a sports game, technically! It was basically electronic Tennis for crying out loud! (Well, ping pong, but you get the idea.)

Well, I am sad to say that Jared make a rare big error. In FFL3, you do NOT recruit monsters. You instead have the option to use special items dropped by monsters you battle to transform your characters INTO said monsters. You can also evolve your monster-transformations into stronger versions of that monster type by repeatedly consuming the same item type. You can revert back to human at any time, though.

[@doslover]

This just unlocked a memory, I remember buying used copies of the Final Fantasy Legend games way back in the day and I saw there were two versions available (Sunsoft & Squenix apparently) and I kept looking at different stores until I found the Squenix versions. My only reasoning was that I didn't like the label on the Sunsoft ones 😄

[@Moulinoski]

So, fun little fact about Final Fantasy Legend 3 (and the series in general). Final Fantasy Legend 3 in particular is *different* from the first two games because it has a typical RPG progression system such as what you'd find in the Final Fantasy series... including Mystic Quest. In fact, Final Fantasy Legend 3 shares staff with Mystic Quest! The DS remake changes the system up to make it play closer to other SaGa games. As for the SaGa games in general, the series actually stems from series designer Akitoshi Kawazu who had a hand in designing the original Final Fantasy... and Final Fantasy 2. You can look at Final Fantasy 2 and think of it as SaGa 0. Also, he didn't work on Final Fantasy Legend 3 which is why that game is so different from the rest of the series (until the remake). Out of the three Gameboy SaGa games, the third one is my favorite. I used to emulate it on my computer until the 1998 rerelease and I'd use cheats to fly around on the Talon and just mess around. I did eventually beat the game... like four years ago. It's not a hard game but I guess I kept getting distracted and never completed it until recently. I also love SaGa 2 but it also took me until like 4 years ago to finish and that one *is* a hard game until you use a monster meat guide to get the most powerful monster in the game and then you can trivialize every encounter.
