Makai Toushi SaGa

Makai Toushi SaGa or The Final Fantasy Legend in the US, is the first entry of the SaGa series released on the Game Boy. While it shows very few features of what makes SaGa so famous, it plays slightly more like its sibling series, Final Fantasy. This game also has a remake on the WonderSwan Color.

Story
"It has been said that the tower in the center of the World is connected to Paradise. Dreaming of a life in Paradise, many have challenged the secret of the tower, but no one knows what became of them. Now there is another who will brave the adventure.." - Introduction blurb, The Final Fantasy Legend

The story primarily revolves around a single character, and up to 3 allies, who explore multiple worlds, help solve the problems of the world, and take on Asura's minions as they climb higher up a gigantic tower, hoping to reach the top to defeat Asura once and for all, and possibly live an easy life in Paradise.

Playable Characters
The Final Fantasy Legend used a guild system allowing the player to select from a variety of characters, each with their own strengths and flaws, making customizing a party either remove most of the challenge to the game, or adds greatly to the challenge of the game.

Other Characters
Throughout the story, the party will meet a variety of characters they must help or fight to continue on their quest to defeat Asura.
 * King Armor - The king of the castle to the northeast, and genreally a kind fellow to be around. He gives players the King Armor if they help rescue his lover, and her home village from the bandits in the cave to the south.
 * King Sword - The king in the castle to the south, surrounded by mountains. His castle is rampant with monsters, and some of them even serve him as his guards. The king himself is a very aggressive person, and will attack anyone trying to take his precious sword. Players will obtain the King Sword for defeating him in combat.
 * King Shield - A sickly old man who rules the castle in the forest right next to the central village. His guards do not take very kindly to visitors, and will throw anyone out if caught. The king himself prefers isolation, and greedily hoardes the shield, but does not take an aggressive route like King Sword does, possibly due to his frail condition.
 * Steward - King Shield's personal servant. He secretly poisons the king and makes off with the shield while leaving the king to die. Players will obtain the King Shiled upon defeating him.
 * Ryu-O - The king of all dragons. He fled the underwater world and lives on an island in the guise of an old man. Players will obtain the second half of the Blue Sphere, the Blue Orb, upon answering his riddle.
 * Gen-Bu - One of Asura's 4 minions, and the guardian of the Black Sphere. He comes to attack the party when they return all 3 pieces of the King set to the statue in the central village and obtain the Black Sphere.
 * Sei-Ryu - One of Asura's 4 minions. He guards the Red Orb, one of the halves of the Blue Sphere, in his underwater palace. To further protect anyone from getting the orb, he surrounded himself with many fake orbs guarded by ferocious monsters.
