Romancia, a side scrolling action adventure initially released in 1986, is the third of Falcom's Dragon Slayer line. The story focuses on the neighboring kingdoms of Romancia and Azoruba. While they once lived in harmony, Azoruba has kidnapped Princess Celina of Romancia, which has led to a disease to fall over the land. Prince Fan Fredy, an adventurer from another land, is the last hope to save both countries. The goals are two-fold: first to rescue the Princess, and second, to obtain the Dragon Slayer sword and defeat the dragon Vaides. The title and the name of the hero comes from Guillaume-Hyacinthe Bougeant's story Voyage du Prince Fan-Federin dans la romancie.
