DESCRIPTION

An offshoot of Square's popular role-playing series, The Final Fantasy Legend has you leading a party of four adventurers on a quest to cleanse a mysterious tower filled with evil creatures. Yet before you can access the tower's floors, you'll need to explore its four surrounding worlds: land, ocean, space, and future city. Form your party from a choice of eight characters, ranging from humans to monsters to mutants. Engage in turn-based battles against more than 170 monster types and earn both experience points to level up your characters and equipment to enhance their abilities. Unlike most role-playing games, however, your weapons will degrade over time. The game was originally released in Japan as "Makai Toushi SaGa," designed as a separate franchise from the publisher's Final Fantasy series. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide
