The best gameboy game EVER!!

I am 20 years old. I owned one of the original chunky black and white gameboys. So I have played a lot of games over the years, and Im telling you: This one is my very favourite.
Why exactly?
Because the storyline is gripping enough to keep you interested the whole way thru and the characters within it are fantastic.
The game is challenging, but not to the point where it is frustrating.
Unlike the other final fantasy games (and pokemon etc:), in this one you actually get to fight the monsters physically with your sword, like in Zelda..........Is this a good time to mention that Zelda ripped this game off?
The game is long enough to keep you entertained for hours AND give you your money's worth.
Not only that, it is re-playable, and the next time you play, you will observe different things than the previous time.
By all means, if you have the opportunity to purchase this hard to find game, DO!

The ultimate adventure game!

I got Final Fantasy Adventure for Christmas and played it right away. I must say, this is the best action\adventure game I've ever played. At some points, I wondered how they could fit everything on to a small cartridge like this, and I am sure somebody else in the world agrees with me. I admire their effort to incorporate a level-up system into an action game. The enviroments look awesome, and the music helps you really understand what the situation is. In short this is a really great game!

It's good all around.

I love this game for a few reasons.

1. Storyline is AWSOME
2. Regular GB games are more fun than color ones because you can imagine your own colors for the game, making the gameplay more interesting.
3. My brother beat the game, and guided me when I needed help
4. It's a good classic, and I wish they made the whole FF series on gameboy and others
5. It is so surprising! I am so tensed out while playing aginst bosses that pop out of nowhere
6. It is a traditional Saving the "Princess" game
7. Sure it is old. Old games rock, and since not many people play it anymore, it takes it to a bigger challenge
8. I can play it anywhere with my gameboy ;)

I don't think anyone should hate this great game, so go and buy it!

Final Fanatsy Adventure is actually a literal prequel to the 1993 SNES game Secret Of Mana. The series, known in Japan as Seiken Densetsu ["Holy Sword Legend"], actually began on the GameBoy back in 1991. Secret Of Mana is actually Seiken Densetsu 2. Seiken Densetsu 3 was never released outside of Japan. Oddly enough, the fourth game in the series was released in Japan not as Seiken Densetsu 4, but rather as "Legend Of Mana"... though this is fitting, as it doesn't really bear much of a resemblance to the previous three games.

I can't tell you how much I loved this game when I first played it years ago. The gameplay is addictive, the storyline is engaging, the puzzles and battles are moderately challenging, and the graphics are not so old that they are off-putting. This is a traditional maiden-in-distress adventure story with swords and magic, and was originally part of the Mana series (billed in the US as Final Fantasy to boost sales). A guide or FAQ may be useful to make sure you get all the secrets, but the game should not take anyone too long to beat. It does not meet the high standards of graphics, sound, and story that GBA games like Golden Sun are setting, but for nostalgic, "old school" gameplay this game can't be beat. Buy it if you can find it, and play the hell out of it.

I remember a few years ago playing this game. This was my introduction to the Secret of Mana series even though I believed this to be part of the Final Fantasy series. Maybe they called it this because they didn't know that they were going to make more games with the Mana tree, so no sense in saying FFAII and FFAIII. But the story line is definatly great. You start out as [your name for charecter here] in a forteress where the Dark Lord uses people to play in gladiator like fights. This seems like some of the Final Fantasy games where you start off with normal life for the charecter and then you delve into a rich story line. When you escape the castle, you meet up with a man who was freshly slain by monsters and a girl crying at his side. After talking to her, she tells you that she is looking for an old man. I forget his name since the time it's been, and from there, the story line becomes increasingly better. It was way ahead of it's time where it has plot twists and can bring out emotion in you. I was sad after fighting Medusa (won't say what happened) and at the tree of mana (my lips are still sealed) I don't have this game anymore so I am planning on buying it to beat it again -it's that great! There is also a remake of this game called Sword of Mana for the GBA but has minor changes that are enough for me to shun it because it will ruin my thoughts on one of the most gripping original Game Boy games ever. Buy it now!

Classic Gameboy RPG

This game was a great RPG for the Gameboy when it came out in 1993 I believe. The game is great to play on the road. Certain parts of the game can be difficult, but most of it is quite fun. Many people don't know that this game is the original Secret of Mana. The game is hard to find these days, but you will like the game. Just save the game often - it is easy to die in this game. No second chances. You die, you start from where you saved last. A great game for an old system. Play it if you can.

Out of all the FF I have played, this one is the best. The fighting battle is different from the rest yet it keeps you on the edge of your seat to make it very exciting.

The prequel to Secret of Mana

This game starts off the Mana series, and not many people know that. I have been fortunate enough to get my hands on each of the "Final Fantasies" for the Game Boy. Adventure is the best of the four. The storyline is recognizable to Secret of Mana veterans. A young woman is discovered as the key to the mana sanctuary, and as a newly discovered mana knight, you must save her and gaurd her. The battle system is just like the Zelda series. Your shield even works in the same fashion. Along your quest, you earn 8 different magic spells that will aid you on your journey. Many allies will show up and help you, with some having special abilities, for example, to heal you or replenish your MP. The game may get hard at some points but is somewhat easy overall. You also get to choose what stats go up when you level up. This makes for many different variations of the main character. You can make him a wise man that is superb with magic, or a strong barbarian. The animation can be choppy at times, but what more can you expect from an older game boy game. Overall, this game is great for road trips and good enough to play at home.
