Look, I know. I didn't know that then though. I finished Earthbound, and wanted to play something else, so my father took me to some store. I saw Mystic Quest there, and seeing as it said Final Fantasy I was all like, I want that.

Then you know what, the stupid lady at the store said, that's not a game for little girls, it's really complex and hard. I got pissed off, seeing as I always played role playing games, as my father had pointed out to her...how dare this bitch?! So yeah, not knowing how much it sucked, I got that...I even had to pay the DIFFERENCE. LIKE AS IF EARTHBOUND ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH BY ITSELF. So I might not have known anything about the value of both games, but she sure as hell didn't either...eeh anyways.

But never fear, my metal listening friend, I got Earthbound back, years later. I traded a broken PlayStation for it, too. XD I still have it now, and am NOT letting it go.

IMO, this was a really good game. I got close to beating it but then I took a break and well... never played it again. I'm gonna go finish it sometime though

I'm not even kidding, when I was a kid I used to stay up all night on Christmas Eve, get right to the final boss (the king who turns into a gross spider/hentai rape monster), save it, then beat it on Christmas morning while opening presents.

By itself, the game is a gem. The characters are shallow but somewhat likeable (oh, she has an axe, oh, he has ninja stars, sweet).

The plot was so simple it couldn't really have been called a plot. An old man appears on a mountain while it's like, collapsing, trying to get you to save the world? What kind of shit is that?

One thing that REALLY struck me was the music. Classic shit, that was. Even the battle music was catchy, in that old-school SNES way.

Anyways... I lost it ages ago and I can't quite forgive myself. Maybe one day SquarEnix will re-do it, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

I loved this game very much, I think it was the second FF I ever owned. Many good memories of that one. Comparing it to actuall FF's The stroy is somewhat lacking, maybe too straight forward? It had many good elements that the main FF's did not have tho, such as the battle fields and the deteriorating monster.

this was the first rpg i ever played so yeah i liked it. i loved the character tristam. i thought he was sorta funny, but most of the other characters were sorta blah.

I can vaguely remember this game. I think it is the one where you have to beat the last guy with cure?

It did not do so well though. Most people I have talked to did not like this game. I think it had a very simplified gameplay and that is why many people did not like it.

I think the intention of Mystic Quest was to introduce newbies to the Final Fantasy name by having a decent storyline, simple battle system and easier gameplay. I myself liked it for it's simplicity. Pazuzu's Tower was a little irritating but that's only because it's a Tower .
