![]() ![]() A remake, Sword of Mana, was released for the Game Boy Advance in 2003, changing the plot and many gameplay aspects. Along with Final Fantasy Mystic Quest, Final Fantasy Adventure was the first Final Fantasy game to be released in Europe. Originally developed under the name Gemma Knights, it features gameplay roughly similar to that of the original The Legend of Zelda, but with the addition of role-playing statistical elements.
