Final Fantasy: Mystic QuestSNES

I've played a bit of this game, but not enough to form an accurate opinion on it (although I am aware of the bad rep it gets for being dumbed down for Western audiences). It wasn't terrible, so I might buy it if it's ever released here. More Square Enix support is always great.

By the way, I'm curious. What do you mean by "trademark filed?"

Square Enix has renewed the brand on the European trademark registration site with its original European title (Mystic Quest Legends). As there haven't been any other Mystic Quest titles since we're pretty confident that that means it's for a VC release!

If you want to check for yourself go here and enter "Square Enix" into the Owner field.

I remember this game. It may very well have been the first RPG I ever played. Not that I ever played through it. I was very young! I never even knew it was a "Final Fantasy" game until now, I just remember it being called Mystic Quest. The things that I remember standing out to me at the time were the ginormous enemies and the way your different equipped weapons could be used outside of battle Zelda-style. I guess the game was pretty simple as far as RPGs go, but it was quite a task for me so many years ago!

This is one game that I am really interested in. I heard it was one of those very underrated RPGs, and I've read a couple of reviews (Corbie's on his SUPER-NES site and the other one on RVGFanatic's website) stating that it was good.

It did have an emotional ending, but if you haven't played it, Benjamin can only have one person joining him which is a downer.

Definately gonna give this one a try sometime

Yayyy I want this one...

everyone always hates on this game. yeah, it's waaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy too easy but it is fun as hell. a dumbed down final fantasy for the young crowd i guess?. but if you like dungeon crawling, this game is for you. the dungeons are pretty fun. not much as far as story goes but i still loved it back in the day (keeping in mind, i got it and finished it the weekend it came out so i have no idea how it holds up today)

I am willing to bet that the game is really good.

I am willing to bet that the game is really dated.

I am willing to bet that you just parodied what I said.

I looked up that you can name your character in this game. Is someone here at NintendoLife an Alf fan? 'cause I noticed in one of the screenshots that there was the name, Alf.

has this really been announced for VC?
if so, its very cool to see this one
few mins ago i was going to play a VC game, but when i saw this, i stopped for some
please let em not take long to put it on the VC
*super happy

i completed the game with knowing the endboss his weakness, but i still will buy & play it once its on VC

10/10

EDIT(as noone replied after my last post)
@5 yes, you can only have 1 ally at a time, but thats not the worst thing
i think it'd be way more fun if you could choose after you completed the game
but then, there's no more story except for the last part once completed
or a bonus which allows you to start over with any char you like to, or something

besides that, its still a very good game, easy but good
it requires a bit brain usage, in battles and such

This doesn't look as good as many other FF games but it still looks pretty good and it has the best regular boss theme ever.

And it's now OFLC rated, so it is most definitely coming!

well, IF it comes to VC, it may take a long time like most other games which are rated

EDIT: (as noone else has replied)

next week we'll be happy to see this game
it wont take long after all

ahum....
Mystic Quest Legends will be in EU VC next week, which is on friday 24th september
sounds official eh?

The game I called "the budget Final Fantasy" has finally been released on the virtual console. I remember this game costing $39.99 retail and Final Fantasy II (IV) costing $59.99.

I remember that box art as if it were yesterday I saw it at my local Toys R Us store, I never played this game, as it never really appealed to me. I might check it out on VC though.

Horrible, that game's only worth like 2$

As it was made as an intro to RPGs, I admit when I was little when it came out, it did it's job and have been an RPG enthusiast ever since. I remember playing this game repeatedly, beating it multiple times. I even turned the music down and played with Tom Petty in the background. Anyone that says it's horrible is spoiled. This was a quintessential introduction that left this now 33 year old in love with the genre.
