Customer Reviews

Not bad for a beginner's game.
Come on people. Let's stop slamming this game and take it for what it is. It's a simple, basic game designed for little children or others who are completely new to RPGs. This isn't meant for people who've been raised on FF6, 7 and 8.

Now, when you take it for what it is, it's actually pretty cool. 10 mandatory battles before proceeding is really not that bad compared to random battles--at least this way you can do your fighting and get it over with instead of getting attacked every 2 steps like in FF7 or 8.

Also, this game has the absolute BEST battle music I've ever heard in a Final Fantasy game.

Now, the graphics are simple, the music is simple, the story is very simple... everything about this game is simple. It's like the Sesame Street of RPGs, and that's exactly what it was designed for. If you just take it for what it is, it's not that bad at all.

Between Zelda and Final Fantasy there is a Mystic Quest
This was Super Nintendo's cross between a Final Fantasy RPG game and a Zelda type RPG game. To start with the graphics are very basic, it looks more like it could be a Nintendo game (not SNES), and the plotline is simplistic going to different areas to defeat a big boss and get an item that lets you go to the next area. Simple isn't it? But then the real worthwhile part about this game is its originality, you can jump in the game, you can cut down trees with your axe, blow up walls with your bombs and climb walls with your claws. Another interesting part is that you can see the enemies as characters on the overhead map! So you can run into them and fight them, but then rather than fighting them like Zelda, it takes you to a battle screen like a true RPG. Something else is that rather than a real overhead map of the world where you explore, you start at an area which gives you four choices of where to go, up down left and right. You select the path and the hero will take that path automatically, no monsters or anything! The monsters are all inside of the areas, towns, caves and caverns.

Final Fantasy for Dummies
That should be the real title....I played this game about 10 years ago...I liked it then, but I havent played it since I finished it 10 years ago. there is no real story, the charachters are lifeless and boring, and the graphics were not too hot. I dont remember muich about the plot though, so I cant really talk about it...I just know it's basicly a dummied down FF game.

skip this one and get the astonishingly great game Final Fantasy 3
