    Plot
    Eternal Filena follows the adventures of Filena, the only survivor of the royal family in the ocean kingdom of Filosena which is destroyed by the ruling empire. She is brought up as a boy slave and gladiator, and enters the gladiatorial games designed by the Empire to keep the masses happy. Young slave boys are trained as gladiators and girls are forced into prostitution. Filena befriends Lila, a slave assigned to be Filena's bed-mate before her first gladiatorial bout, and sets off on a journey with Lila to free her homeland from tyranny and discover her true past.

    Eien no Filena SNES JRPG reviews



    Why It Should Get Picked Up:
    Personally I am just quite interested in this kind of story and its world building.
    I am curious about the characters of the this fantasy world and how the end of the plot looks like.
    Would like to know, if FMC Filena and Lila actually become officially a romantic queer happy couple.
    When I look at these two main characters, I get kinda reminded of the journey of Xena (The Warrior Princess) & Gabrielle.
