Final Fantasy Mystic Quest

Post by Blaze »

Now I remember playing this as a kid in the 90's. It was a pretty easy game to play, in terms of JRPGs. I think Square made it easy for us Americans since they thought we sucked at RPGs, so they dumbed things down for us. :lol: It's got a awesome soundtrack! Ever played this title before?

I have played this one! I never really made it far, I think the battery in my cartridge may be dying because I think I had to restart my save over. Guess it's just another game I need to repair once I start learning how to solder!

Oh damn that's a bummer bro! You gotta fix your copy someday, and fully play through it! It's not on the same level as say Final Fantasy VI, but it's a must play for any SNES owner in my eyes. It's also a good game for those new to playing RPGs too.

Final Fantasy Mystic Quest has memorable and catchy music and I agree with you that the game seems easier created for western audiences. That's crazy though!

Pretty sure I borrowed this from my cousin, if thinking right, it's a fun little game to play.

I own a copy and beat it. It’s too simple, and that made it pretty boring to play. Despite having the enemies visible on the map, it felt like you had to fight every single one of them to be able to beat the bosses, which makes having them visible seem pointless, and makes the already bland battle system more boring.
