In spite of the technical limitations the Gameboy imposed, Kenji Ito managed to compose a soundtrack that helped carry the story along, and set in motion tunes that have become time and time again set pieces for several titles in the series. With that in mind, our hero sets out to find Bogard and thwart Dark Lord’s evil schemes, avenging the death of his friend.
He learns of a man named Bogard and the Knights of Gemma who must act to stop Dark Lord from fellow slave dying in his arms, Willy. The story tells of a young fighter who sneaks into Castle Glaive one night trying to discover the plans of Dark Lord, but is captured by Julius and imprisoned as a slave, forced to fight as a gladiator. The name Seiken Densetsu (Legend of the Holy Sword) was originally intended for a game in development in 1987 for the Famicom Disk System, “Seiken Densetsu: The Emergence of Excalibur”, but the game never saw the light of day, and was dropped in favour of developing Final Fantasy. Initially the game was released as a spin-off of the inreasingly popular Final Fantasy series, sharing the graphical style of other Final Fantasy titles on the Gameboy, but opting for an Action-RPG gameplay rather than the turn-based/random-encounter style of other Final Fantasy titles.
Seiken Densetsu: Final Fantasy Gaiden was the first game in what is now known as the Seiken Densetsu series.
