First Impressions..~20 years later
This was first Final fantasy game, and my first role playing game ever. Well, my first for the 100$ Gameboy (back when it game with a free game - Tetris). This game pretty much set the standard for me in turns of music, story and depth, in fact - the industry!. While our characters were our own creation, they were still an integral part of the story. And I loved the story!. Now, I've found Final Fantasy VII and a new standard. This series has had it's up and downs, & it's telling that players in the 21st Century judge this game harshly without realizing that games back in the 80/90's most of time games were just fun & often/sometimes required thought. Not the eye-candy, 3D-fest, kill everything in site, war-this/war-that that plagues us now. Graphics NEVER made a game back then, playability was what mattered. And this game was playable, in fact I played it twice, wait many times and I'm still playing FF7! Games like this are hard to come by, and with "The World Ends With You" Square *finally* went back to what they do best: strong characters, engaging plot! 3D is great, but what's the point if all you are is great to look at?

You do not need fancy graphics to enjoy a good game.
I remember this game being pretty simple graphics wise if a bit less than Final Fantasy Adventure was, but still you didn't have to pretend the blue was water and the green was land; like Nobunaga's Ambition. You have to remember the age of this game so you can forgive the graphics. I played the Final Fantasy Legend games one after the other in 2001 and enjoyed the experience. For nostalgia it was great but if you haven't played or do not like older games you would not like this one.

Okay.... I guess....
I bought this game because I thought it was FF. But its not! It actually SaGa or SagGe or something.Gameplay:3.5/5, The gameplay gets slow and often repetitive. Weapons don't do much. Evolving monsters and mutants in the party are wayyyy better than standard humans (unbalanced). Plot:2/5, There's a plot!?! WOW! The plot is so corny I didn't realize it was their! The dialogue is short and choppy, and it often doesn't make sense. Graphics:4/5, Good for its age! Replay:4/5, Like any RPG, it has replay value. Ingenuity:2/5, Not much new here, except for the "monsters evolve when they eat enemies meat" concept. Overall:15.5/20, Average, if its really cheap, check it out.

Despite nostalgia, still a poor game
There is no doubt that Final Fantasy Legend (SaGa in Japan, billed as Final Fantasy in the United States to boost sales) was a highly advanced game for its time (1989). However, it offers nothing that its sequel doesn't offer, and the game is, shall we say, very poor. Not having the advantage of color that its contemporaries (Dragon Warrior, Final Fantasy) had, the graphics are so poor that they were actually bad in 1989, which says a lot. The story is about as simplistic as they come, and you should be able to beat this game in a few hours no problem. Considering its limited availability now, I doubt anyone will really want to play this game - trust me, you aren't missing anything. My fellow "old school" RPG players will call me a heretic, but this game has nothing memorable to offer. Skip it.
