Good soundtrack (although a bit repetitive at times), the gameplay loop is nice for what it's worth.

Be sure to have a guide when playing this game, there are many vague and cryptic indications that are never told to you and would feel better to get through with a guide (especially when it comes to dungeons)

Overall a decent but dated game.

Lo jugué de pequeño en mi Game Boy Color y no me enteraba de nada, pero me gustaba su manejo "tipo zelda" y su música.

En 2021 decidí empezarlo en Switch, pues viene en el recopilatorio "Collection of Mana", y la verdad es que lo disfruté bastante.

Tiene una buena historia, aunque de corte muy clásico, y en algunos momentos la verdad es que sabe tocar la patata.
Su música es bastante bonita y nostálgica.
Y jugablemente recuerda a los Zelda clásicos, aunque sin llegar a ese nivel, por supuesto.

No puedo añadir mucho más, es lo malo de hacer reseñas cuando pasa tanto tiempo.
¡Ah, sí! Todo el mundo se queda traumatizado con el puzle de las palmeras, si lo habéis jugado sabréis a qué me refiero xD
Y si no... ¡buena suerte!

It's fine I suppose. Only made it about halfway before getting too bored to want to continue. It's certainly got some neat aspects such as how weapons can effect traversal and an intriguing, if unpolished, ally system. It's obviously reminiscent of the Zelda games but it actually secured before Links Awakening, so it's pretty neat to play with that knowledge. Unfortunately the level design is bland and the gameplay loop is entirely unsatisfying. The growth system is cool even though it's pretty barren, and I like the concept of the Will gauge in theory, though in practice it turns some already weak combat into even more of a mess. Hit detection is extremely wonky too, especially when using the swords. I never see this game talked about on the same level as it's sequels, so that's probably a good thing. It's a fun game in extremely brief spurts, but the game is far too large to It's own detriment, and it is a very tiring type of game. 3/6

Final Fantasy Adventure is a top-down action RPG whose gameplay I'd describe as a cross between Zelda and Final Fantasy, since it has the dungeons, items with different abilities and simple puzzles of the former but the magic system, progression and story focus of the latter.

In general, I'd say it's a very fun game that's dragged down by some classic "old game features", like its cryptic systems, small inventories, crappy hitboxes and overly long dungeons. I still recommend giving it a try though.

What an amazing adventure game. What most likely started as a competitor to The Legend of Zelda ended up firmly crafting its own identity with its unique weapon system, simple characters with strong personalities, and vast world that’s just begging to be explored.

Combat: There are six weapon types in this game that all behave differently. Each weapon has two attacks when standing still, and two attacks while moving. And most can interact with the environment in a different way, allowing each to be useful throughout the game for both combat and traversal. There is also a magic system. The magic works in a straightforward manner, you have a set amount of MP, and you have a designated magic/item button. You select your spell in a menu and use it as many times as you MP storage will allow. You also have companions that change throughout the story who all have unique attacks and help actions.

World exploration: The world is far mor fast than I originally expected. For the first half of the game, you’re set on a fairly narrow path, but everything is still connected, you travel to each major location battling monsters and solving puzzles on your way.
Once you unlock sea travel however the entire game opens up drastically. At this point you also have one of every weapon type, so nothing is off limits, this also opens many optional dungeons that provide more powerful equipment. There is a problem with direction though. The game lacks a proper map so it can be easy to get lost, fortunately every area has a distinct look so it’s very easy to tell where you are currently, the problem only lies in remembering where other areas are in relation.

Story: They story is a simple journey where the unlikely hero is on a quest to save the girl, but that doesn’t mean this story isn’t special. The tale is full of surprises and loaded with heart. Throughout I felt happy, sad, angry, and determined to see our heroes succeed. I was invested for every second.

Verdict: This game was so much more than I was expecting, and it felt like the only flaws were due to hardware limitations. I had always heard about how amazing Secret of Mana is, but I had never heard anything about its predecessor but I’m so glad I took the time to play it. if you want to experience a unique game full of passion, then look no further than Final
Fantasy Adventure.
