thegeekdojo.net

Also known as the first game in the Mana series, Final Fantasy Adventure will be localized according to the Japanese Twitter account for the game.

Final Fantasy Adventure is a spin-off of the Final Fantasy series and originally came out in the U.S. in 1991. The remake will be named Adventures of Mana and is coming to iOS, and Android in the West. The Japanese version of the website also has the PS Vita listed as a platform, but there is no word on a Vita version for the west.

There is no release date since Square Enix has not officially announced Adventures of Mana for the West just yet. Check out the trailer below.

I’m definitely looking forward to this one as I do have fond memories of enjoying this on my Gameboy, as a kid. I will also be keeping my fingers crossed for a localized Vita version.

Kojima Explains Why He Chose to Partner With Sony

Kojima explained his reasoning in a recent exclusive interview with IGN. It all boils down to familiarity. “We know each other well,” he says. “I feel like this is an environment where I will be able to make something and feel comfortable.” Considering what he went through at Konami, I’m sure really appreciates that feeling.

Hideo Kojima has developed a strong bond with Sony for over a decade now.

It’s thanks to Sony that I was able to make a splash in the global market.”

Check out the interview below to hear Kojima speak on it himself.

Kojima officially left Konami this past Wednesday. His new company, Kojima Productions, is already underway and he has confirmed that he is working on a new exclusive project for the PlayStation 4 and PC.
