Title: FFX Fantasy War publisher identified

NusuttoSan recently posted on his blog (http://qiezei.blogspot.com/2011/03/unlicensed-goodness-and-vast-fame.html) a link to a Japanese BBS thread where people have shared some interesting gaming-related pictures, including a good deal of pirate-related stuff.

The one I found interesting, however, was this one:

Flyer for Final Fantasy X: Fantasywar (https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-p9-IfWNJEF0/TYp9pPTKHFI/AAAAAAAAAUA/bczAAzidvwg/s1600/125040-8736222-0-29810649-pc.jpg)

I'd always assumed this was a Sintax production; everything just seemed to line up, after all.

Turns out it's actually by Super Huge Dragon, the mainland affiliate of SKOB.

Now I'm really wondering about these SKOB-Sintax connections, and where exactly TD Software fits into all of this.

actually, the bootleg wiki points to SKOB & Li Cheng as publishers for this game... which makes me wonder about relations between Super Huge Dragon and Li Cheng...

good catch with the flier, anyway. I love the arts for these pirate carts :)

there are leftover graphics from SKOB's Fire Emblem in Pokemon Sapphire by Sintax too.. my guess would be that theres one developer that was working on stuff for SKOB, Sintax and Li Cheng at the same time, probably BBD. Dunno about TD Software though.
