    FFXIV Character

    Omni Odin (Sargatanas)

    Default Mystic Quest

    So, I started playing it the other day and I think it's pretty fun and simple. What does everyone else think?

    I have never played it, but I can tell you that it belongs in General Final Fantasy.

    Mystic Quest is a pretty ok game. It's an easy game to beat but, there are some puzzles to get through. It doesn't rank up there in my favorites though.

    Game gets a lot of hate, being made extremely simplistic for the purpose of gathering Americans.

    It's alright if you want to play something simple and easy. Nothing special, and it really is a sub-par game.

    But I enjoyed it none the less.

    I remember it as a fun game.

    It's an insult to America's intelligence, but to be honest, i'm not entirely sure we don't deserve it. And despite its simplicity, it is actually a pretty fun way to kill a little time. As I remember it, that is. I haven't played it since I was... I don't remember, probably a teenager.

    Why haven't I played it in so long? Well, you know that little thing where you can save anywhere you want, to make the game easier? Well, this is embarrassing to admit but.... during a playthrough (far from my first, and I'd beaten it many times before) I was somewhere in the final dungeon, in a room with moving sand, I hooked onto something with my grappling claw, jumped over it and immediately saved. Then I found I was stuck. Yeah. There was no space to move or even turn around so I couldn't jump back over it. So, I was stuck forever. I went all the way to the last dungeon and, in a sense, lost. That's right, the easiest final fantasy game ever made is the only one to beat me. I swore I'd never play the game again and even though I was tempted once or twice, I never did and don't think I ever will now.

    Although it isn't really similar to other FFs it's soundtrack and puzzles really made up for it.

    People are so biased towards FFMQ...

    I must say that Mystic Quest accomplished its purpose: it made me, a little kid at the time, appreciate RPGs. Too bad I didn't know WTF to do the first time an FF game made me explore a world map. :rolleyes2

    But I still love it nonetheless and become horribly nostalgic whenever I come across it.

    It's a fun little game. Like FFX-2 it suffers in comparison with the regular FF series, but that can blind people to it's enjoyable qualities.

    Ironically one thing that was harder was status ailments, especially Petrify. With only two people in the party it could become lethel very quickly.

    I like it, even if it is simplistic. It's a very well polished game and I've always appreciated that.

    It has a great soundtrack
    No random battles
    Actual abilities to use on the screen and stuff

    This is a game for the ages and different from most every FF game out there. Was it simple? Yes. Is every other FF game simple? Yes.

    I think that the music of Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest was very memorable. I remember more songs from Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest than some of the other Final Fantasy games.
    I believe in the power of humanity.
