This week we’ve received new details on Final Fantasy Adventure Prologue via Famitsu and the official site for the game. The game is a full remake of the original Gameboy version and will have brand-new 3D graphics and controls, a newly arranged score by the original composer Kenji Ito, and more. In battle, you will have free control over your character on the field while evading enemies and attacking. You will also have access to six weapon types and magic types and you can easily switch between weapons and armor. The Shortcut Command is a new feature that was not in the original version, and you can also register magic and items for smoother use. The Ring Command has now been refined and there will also be a Half-Ring Command.

You can read the prologue and character details thanks to Gematsu for translation.

■ Prologue

Towering high above the clouds on Mount Illusia…

Enshrined at the mountain’s peak is the worshiped Tree of Mana

The Tree of Mana that perceives all the power of the universe and grows on its energy

Legend says that those who touch the tree will obtain eternal power…

The Glaive Empire’s Shadow Knight is planning to use its power to conquer the world through slaughter and dismay

As “Battle Servants” of the Glaive Kingdom, the heroes are put to work by the Shadow Knight

For his own amusement, the Shadow Knight forces his Battle Servants to fight monsters in deadly combat

Each day, they’re taken from their jail to fight for their lives, and each day’s victory earns them just enough food to survive another day

But the injuries caused by repeated fights and the irrecoverable fatigue caused the Servants to fall one by one…
