Final Fantasy for the Genesis / Mega Drive

[Gemini-Phoenix]

Does Final Fantasy actually exist for the Mega Drive?

I had a discussion with a workmate once about this game. He claims he has it, but can't play it as it's all in foreign (Non-English) and I absically said it was either a pirate or plain BS.

Anyway, I never gave it any thought until just now when I downloaded a Rom of this very game...


Now it has the letter "R" after it, so i'm guessing this probably stands for "Russia"??? Am I Right? The game Rom seems to look like Russian...

Was this game actually released, and if so, is it only Russian only?


I am also guessing that it isn't Final Fantasy as we actually know it - It may be just some game which happens to also be called "Final Fantasy"


Anyway, it looks good, and the graphics are great - On par with FFIV!!! I didn't notice a Square logo anywhere though, and the music doesn't sound like the usual...


The Rom is quite dodgy though, and the music doesn't play very well (Maybe a bad dump???) - The game's text is all in foreign, so I wouldn't be able to play it anyway.

I don't see [r] or (r) in the GoodGen file, hmm...that's pretty odd since Russia has at least a few homebrews. The list has Greece, for example (Greece being the country that banned videogames for a short while a few years back, heh), but no Russia!

Freaky. Reminds me of the pirate port of Phantasy Star 4 for famicom...called Wai Xing zhan Shi, or Alien Soldier.

So can you post some pics of this or a link to the rom (forbidden? hey, if it's a pirate rom anyway, what's the harm?).

There IS NO Final Fantasy on Sega systems.

That reminds me, there was a homebrew hack of Rockman X3 for Genesis.

This does exist (kind of), but it is a pirate. When I was in russia last year, I saw a Final Fantasy for the Genesis. It had the art from the Final Fantasy movie on the cover, and it had was in Russian. My memory is a little bit fuzzy, but I am about positive it was one of the SNES Breath Of Fire's. I still kick myself for passing this up for 300 rubles (about $10-$12) :angry:

Where did you get this rom. I would love to play it.

Any Screenshots?

No idea what game it was originally but the graphics look really nice, as if they were optimized for the Genesis platform. Planet Emu . net has it.
