    Contains music to the Seiken Densetsu (which translates to "Legend of the Sacred Sword") game for the Gameboy. Seiken Densetsu is actually the first game in the Mana game series, but it was released as Final Fantasy Adventure in the U.S. This soundtrack had only one print run and does not have a reprint by itself. However, the music on this CD and on the arranged CD Omoi wa Shirabe ni Nosete were collected onto one CD, titled Final Fantasy Adventure Sound Collections, and reprinted in 1995.

    This CD comes up for auction on Yahoo Japan every so often, so you may want to check there if you'd like to get this CD. Do a search for "Seiken Densetsu" written in hiragana. Read more about buying through YJ at my YJ tutorial.

    This game was remade as "Sword of Mana" for the Gameboy Advance and a lot of the music was also redone. For more on the Sword of Mana music, check out the misc. CDs page.


    SQUARE BRAND version: Comes in a thick, cardboard folder-like case with the liner notes glued to the cover. The liner notes contain: a synopsis of the game's story; track list in mixed English and Japanese (kana); artwork by Hitoshi Yoneda; and messages from various people associated with the game and music.

    SonMay version: Comes in a regular-sized jewel case. The liner notes have the same content and layout as the Square Brand version (including all company names in the credits!), except that the page with the story synopsis is at the back of the booklet instead of the front, and it does not have the second page of artwork that goes along with the synopsis. Also includes a sticker with a picture of the front cover, and a customer survey sheet.
