Barver Battle Saga: Tai Kong Zhan Shi is the result of Chinese game developers trying to make a Final Fantasy-like RPG on the Genesis. Surprisingly, it turned out to be okay.
The game has two known translations: a terrible, machine-translated Russian one (under the name Final Fantasy), and an English fan translation originally released in 2010, which Piko Interactive later acquired the rights to and released commercially in 2018.
