This is the world’s most inoffensive worst game.
Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest is the iconically easy JRPG made for a dumb western audience, I think by now everyone knows the origin story of this game.
The game itself is alright, it’s not bad by any means, it’s just really, really, really easy… Easy as in each usable item chest in the wild automatically respawn after leaving the area, easy as in you can restart any fight after you die, easy as in the item that refills this game’s version of MP is really common and restores ALL of it, easy as in your party member will always be stronger than you are, I can keep going but you get the point, they perfectly crafted it so that the dumbest of idiots can actually get through the end of this game.
But is it truly something bad? Well to any gamers with self respect, yes, we feel insulted, but to children it’s pretty nice, it’s a JRPG for toddler and you wouldn’t even know I’m not talking about Pokémon! I wouldn’t really recommend this game to anyone other than curious final fantasy fans, it’s easy (if you couldn’t tell already), and it’s short as well, took me less than 10 hours.
If you’d like a full fledged review you should watch Projared’s video about it.
There’s one thing that really suck about this game and it’s the speed of the game, god it’s slow, and I mean SLOWWWW! I had to use the x5 speed option on retroarch to make this game somewhat fun, otherwise it’s a terrible slow as hell slog…
TLDR
+ The soundtrack
+ it’s easy
- Slow slog of a game
- it’s easy
- broke my ego as a JRPG player
