My first Final Fantasy game. Nearly ruined the series for me.

Not that Mysitc Quest is a "bad game" its just not a good one. I played this before any of the other FF games, and to tell you the truth I kind of liked it. I played for a few hours until I came to the conclusin that I didn't like it anymore. The battles were simple. The story was simple and stupid. The characters were wooden morons. The graphics were nothing to write home about. There was just nothing to like about this game.

So why did I like it before? I don't know for sure. Probably something to do with the way it was made. Squaresoft used this game as a cheap half hearted FF game for the U.S of A. It stunk of being a half hearted attempt but could have been something great if the effort had been placed into it. I think that was the reason. It could have gone far if it hadn't run out of gas on the first lap. After I put the controller down. I didn't pick it back up on another FF game until FF VII years later.

The good:
Nothing good. Just a bunch of almost goods.

The bad:
everything else.

I don't hate this game. I just can't avoid the scoring system.
