When we think about classic titles from the 90’s that were popular within the RPG genre one of the many titles that instantly comes to mind is Seiken Densetsu 3. Even though, Seiken Densetsu 3 was released exclusively in Japan it was still a critically acclaimed 2D RPG that many retro gamers would still play to this day. One of the many things that about Seiken Densetsu 3 that some question to this day involves Square Enix’s decision not to bring the game to the PS1 back in the mid 90’s. The PS1 was staring to become more popular following its release in 1994 and began to take off in terms of sales during that point.

After all, Chrono Trigger was eventually ported for the PS1 during 1999 and the visuals along with the gameplay for Seiken Densetsu 3 were just as impressive. In terms of why Seiken Densetsu 3 never made it to the PS1 is a mystery but the argument can be made that Chrono Trigger was more popular as an RPG in Japan to a point where its was released in other countries such as America. Besides between 1994-1995 Square Enix has been working on the development of Final Fantasy VII. In fact, following the release of Chrono Trigger it seemed like making Final Fantasy VII for the PS1 was Square Enix’s top priority during the time. Square seemed like they were placing more emphasis on developing 3D JRPG’s opposed to 2D and since the Final Fantasy series was very big they decided to invest more time into it as result. But there is no doubt that in both theory and practice Seiken Densetsu 3 could have decent worked on the PS1.
