Final Fantasy Legendsis one of the more overlooked anthologies of theFinal Fantasyfranchise, being a collection of games that originally released on the original Game Boy handheld system. These includeFinal Fantasy Legend,Final Fantasy Legend 2, andFinal Fantasy Legend 3, which released between 1989-1991. Last year,this collection was released on the Switch, which were met with modest reviews. An enhanced port of this collection will be released later this year for mobile devices and Steam.
This anthology of games were a blend of Sci-Fi and Fantasy, which led to very unique games. Much like how the originalFinal Fantasygames were inspired byDungeons and Dragons, these were inspired by Gamma World. Some of the new features that were included inCollection of SaGa Final Fantasy Legendwhen it first released on Switch was a high-speed mode, which allowed players to breeze through some of the slower parts of the game, different screen view options, and customizable backgrounds. These enhanced ports look to include some new features that are catered for the mobile and Steam platforms.

The buttons are draggable and droppable, with even a button for the high-speed mode being one that could be placed and adjusted to the player’s liking.
The Steam version on the other hand will have a couple of different, but incredibly cool features. The first of which is that the game will support4K resolution.
