It's funny how you can forget 90% of the story of a game after close to 20 years but still vividly remember the music once it starts playing...and this game had great music.
First RPG I ever played. My sister and me got this game as a Christmas present when we were 6 and 9 respectively. We both ended up with the flu shortly after. My parents connected our SNES to the TV in their bedroom so we could play it whilst staying in bed for a week. Ended up calling Nintendo’s hotline several times because we were stuck. Such fond memories of this game!
Not many people realize how precious this play-through or the memory this video produces, I highly recommend that all the people whole played the game to watch this... thanks cubex55 you really made my days 4x over :D
I obsessively collected 99 heal potions by entering one of the sigil caves, opening the chest, leaving and coming back, etc. Absolutely insane waste of time. XD
I don’t remember much before the age of 6 for some reason but this is one of my strongest memories before then, playing Mystic Quest on the Super Nintendo with my older brother. Im 21 now but this game always feels like the earliest I can remember, it’s soundtrack and maps are so memorable especially the ice maps
The first JRPG I ever played and loved it completely. This and FF6 were the games that solidified my love for the genre. I'm curious what a remake for the 3DS would look like. I love games with charm, and this has plenty of it!
played this when I was like 7 or 8. 23 now and only realised now it was a final fantasy game....never read the title. Just popped the game in and was good to go. The picture on the game though I remember very well. Such a weird feeling seeing it again.
I think it got to much criticism. Yes it is simplified but the box itself says entry-level gameplay 😂 So i don't know what they expected. It is still fun and great for beginners and had a great soundtrack.
It may have been simplistic, but it was actually quite an enjoyable and overall good game. I got tons of fun out of it when playing with myself or my friends.
Loved this game as a kid in the 90s, lots of memories. I dont understand the hate it gets, it was designed to be more simple. I played it when I was about 6 or 7 till I was about 12 or 13.
Players who dislike this game do because they compare it to main Final Fantasy games, they don't understand that Square created this game as a spin-off to try a different approach of Final Fantasy, they created it to be kind of a Legend of Zelda by Square, and they named it Final Fantasy because they hoped that this simplified RPG would spawn some interest for RPGs from people who were never interested in RPGs and bring them to become interested in other games harboring the same name "Final Fantasy", you understand the strategy? Also, players criticize the shallow story told by this Final Fantasy but it is actually smarter than they think because this game actually makes fun of Final Fantasy stories. This story starts with a random sage who tells you a random prophecy out of nowhere that the world is about to end because of some random evil forces and you happen to be the only one person in the whole world who can save the day for no reason. In order to fulfill the prophecy, you have to collect elemental crystals, just like in every other Final Fantasy game, it is always the same pattern and this game makes fun of it, which makes it actually the smartest of Final Fantasy games, the one who makes fun of how every Final Fantasy follows a same pattern. Then as soon as the random sage is done giving you a purpose, he wishes you good luck and leaves you to save the world alone. The hero keeps looking at the player and shrugging shoulders as if to say "Whatever, don't ask questions.".
This game belongs to the first games for SNES I´ve noticed and played when I was a child. I loved the music and seriously I remember having problems to defeat the frozen giant;). From my current point of view it´s an entertaining easy game, not huge, but amusing. And I still like the music very much.
That's interesting. If I leveled up during the last fight of a battlefield, it would level up again? Anyways, this game was a big part of my childhood. Loved it. And yes, I'm watching this video in between Zoom appointments in 2020 during the COVID-19 lockdown. Little slice of history in and of itself.
Got this game when I was 12 or 13 birthday; because I couldn't get Battletoads in battlemaniacs, I ended up getting this. Didn't like rpg's around the time I got it, but the music and gameplay got me hooked. Since then I've been playing other rpg's like FF6, secret of mana, etc. I'm glad I gotten this game.
Final Fantasy fans always give this game shit. I think its a very fun RPG to play to this day. Difficulty-wise it's not too hard, but i also just beat Chrono Trigger for the first time which some consider the best RPG ever made, and it honestly wasn't that hard either, just longer with a more intricate story.
Game was simplistic as hell but soundtrack was pretty good. Also it had enemies that would get battle damage, which was kind of cool for an RPG like this back then when it released. No other game comes to mind in doing that at that time.
I really loved this game a lot. It did a great job keeping me occupied until FFIII came out, but it had an excellent soundtrack and a cool combat system. The graphics were bright and colorful...they could have continued this as a side series and I would have bought every last one of them. One of my Top 10 fave games.
This is more like it. There's a TAS one out there that was not at all fun to watch. I like this game a lot. I thought it was a bit weird compared to the others when I first played it as you had to go in a straight line, but there was still special things to find and battle techniques. The music was awesome too! I think I first played this back in '95 but not sure. I'm pretty sure this came out after U.S.'s Final Fantasy II (Japan's IV) and before III (Japan's VI).
My question is the winter cave after all 3 floors are removed of enemies where do you go cause stepping outside the arrow doesn't point to next area just where you have already cleared out
Not sure why Square thought US gamers needed an introductory game to RPG's. My very first 2 RPG's were Skies of Arcadia and Grandia 2. Had pretty much no idea how RPG's worked and still managed to beat them.
IN THE FOREST are chest suppose to respawn with potion every time you walk out and back in the level??? you could get unlimited potions then??? or is this a clitch for the roms???
So this is the game that Square wanted to use to introduce americans to the RPG genre. I gotta say...It worked! at least for me it did. Loved every minute of this game as a kid :)
it very much has a "7th saga" vibe to it - esp. in the way the battles play out - a bit of earthbound too - also the battle music reminds me of battletoads hehe..
this game gets so much hate and i get part of that reason is because it's intended to be basic in its entire concept but it was very enjoyable i was never bored playing this i loved the music the few interactions being able to jump move around use weapons just walking around and able to see the actual enemies instead of just random battles that happen from just walking.
Want to see this fucking masterpiece remade like FF7 got its remake.... I want to play an up-to-date version of ALL the older FF games. Mystic Quest, 3 aka Japan 6, 8, and 9, all remade into epic quality.
this is in my top 20 favorite games of all time. simple smooth rpg system with quick access descriptions(BoF does not have this) interesting characters a beastly sound track and some easy yet awesome bosses :D i actually played this more times then ff7 tho 7 has far more replayability which this has none lol..
When I bought this for $60 when it was released, I felt like I was ripped off. Mostly because I was. I was expecting something along the lines of Final Fantasy II, and got whatever this is.
Your version is a bit different..mine is smaller/more stronger colour. The hair on my character is orange/red(fire colour) and all the colours are different,more strong

YES!!!! I love the music!
Wow this comment is 8 years back. I’m just watching this video, but this game is criminally underrated
First RPG I ever played.
My sister and me got this game as a Christmas present when we were 6 and 9 respectively. We both ended up with the flu shortly after. My parents connected our SNES to the TV in their bedroom so we could play it whilst staying in bed for a week. Ended up calling Nintendo’s hotline several times because we were stuck.

Im same
I have defeated all monsters in the cave next to the village on all 3 floors.
Seems there no boss to battle I am a loss
Not many people realize how precious this play-through or the memory this video produces, I highly recommend that all the people whole played the game to watch this... thanks cubex55 you really made my days 4x over :D
I won this game in a middle school contest and the memories it brings back has me in tears. Such a great game, and the music is freaking awesome.
What year was the contest?
I obsessively collected 99 heal potions by entering one of the sigil caves, opening the chest, leaving and coming back, etc. Absolutely insane waste of time. XD
My chemistry teacher explained that mystic quest was his first game he ever played
Good music i will give it that!
Imagine If He Talked About FFV Since That Game Had Chemist Classes
@@InsaneKorean77 Sadly FFV was only available in Japan at that time...
@@garburias That, Or You Could Just Download The Fan Translation Which Came Out Around 1997
Epic soundtrack. And who doesn’t love the fact that every dying enemy queefs as they disappear? Played this with my sister when we were like 8 and 10.
It's the music and bright grahpics that makes this game memorable.
This is one of those games that has aged tremendously well. The music is epic, the gameplay is "accessible", it's fun, and has a good sense of humor.
I don’t remember much before the age of 6 for some reason but this is one of my strongest memories before then, playing Mystic Quest on the Super Nintendo with my older brother. Im 21 now but this game always feels like the earliest I can remember, it’s soundtrack and maps are so memorable especially the ice maps
c'mon this is an underrated game!! dope soundtrack!
+icewater FINALLY, the voice of reason in all this madness! Thank you.
The battle theme for the normal enemy encounters is metal as fuck! I love it! ☺️
Amazing battle theme...... wow i loved it then and i still do!
So many hours devotes to this game by myself, my brother, my dad. We each owned a save slot. It was so much fun to play.
That nostalgic music got me vibin :)
I have been looking for this for years now. First video game I ever played but I couldn’t remember for the life of me what it was called. Love it.
Same here. I vividly remember the flamerus rex but I could not remember what game! So glad I found it!!

I didn't realize it was final fantasy either. Lol.
Same! I never made the connection between this and other Final Fantasies until I was an adult.
58:15 best song ever...
^~^ you sir have captured my Heart,, This game I remember in the 90's and I remember it well...
7:32 I just love how hard the battle theme goes when it starts haha. I really do love it and must play it sometime.
jogaço,quando eu tinha 14 anos,meu irmão comprou um super nintendo novinho,e veio como bonus.obrigado pelas lembranças
Por que ele tão pesado?
@@rafaelcorreiabertoldo9261 Como assim pesado?
One of my first rpgs, and best rpg soundtrack ever. Awesome memories.
I think it got to much criticism. Yes it is simplified but the box itself says entry-level gameplay 😂 So i don't know what they expected. It is still fun and great for beginners and had a great soundtrack.
Bought this one recently, while not a great game, the music absolutely is fantastic.
I disagree it is probably one of the best, if not *the best* installments in the entire Final Fantasy series.
@@jetfrog4574 Whoa calm your tits. Nothing beats FF 1-3 for NES. Lol just kidding to each his own.
Man I love this game,and the music is on point!

Sums up this game. Was fun to watch though

hands down, one of my favorites!
Mystic Quest was my first RPG in 1993. The Boss-Battle-Theme still gives me goosbumps
I played this game when i was 8 or 9 so many memories
+jenny rodriguez The same :o
Same here. The game did it's job.
I think I played it when I was like 5 lmao but I loved it
same but i forgot the name, glad i finally found it
I remember playing this just because I loved the soundtrack. Now trying to find this on android.
This game belongs to the first games for SNES I´ve noticed and played when I was a child. I loved the music and seriously I remember having problems to defeat the frozen giant;). From my current point of view it´s an entertaining easy game, not huge, but amusing. And I still like the music very much.
Solid music and fun game play. This and FF4/6 were my favorites.
The only Final Fantasy game I ever beat. Loved it, and yeah the music is great and catchy.
Me too
This brings back so many memories!
28:15 if you say "Sorry." Tristam will sell you the bombs for a discount
I was playing this game before I could read, now seeing how much reading is involved its a miracle I got as far as I did just mashing buttons.
Ah... I love this game. It's one of the very few RPG games i ever beated. It was so hype for me when i finished this one...
Sweet memories.
So great ... I Final Fantasy was my childhood aaa that times those back to see this great game
That's interesting. If I leveled up during the last fight of a battlefield, it would level up again? Anyways, this game was a big part of my childhood. Loved it. And yes, I'm watching this video in between Zoom appointments in 2020 during the COVID-19 lockdown. Little slice of history in and of itself.

Best soundtrack for it's era. Love the random name ''Tsunao'' ...it's more creative than names I try to think up. lol
Thank you for changing the menu color! That always drives me crazy, especially in the games where you can't change it.
This game brings back memories
Gotta play this after watching this, love this game and have this game. 👌
I'd love to see this game redone. Imagine what we could do with updated cinemas and a new battle engine.
Final Fantasy fans always give this game shit. I think its a very fun RPG to play to this day. Difficulty-wise it's not too hard, but i also just beat Chrono Trigger for the first time which some consider the best RPG ever made, and it honestly wasn't that hard either, just longer with a more intricate story.
Heh. Chrono Trigger. Thought it was family friendly.
I don't remember a damn thing. Holy, so long ago.
This game looks awesome! i'm going to play it in my ds' emulator right now! thanks for the video btw
Game was simplistic as hell but soundtrack was pretty good. Also it had enemies that would get battle damage, which was kind of cool for an RPG like this back then when it released. No other game comes to mind in doing that at that time.
This is the first Final Fantasy game I ever played, then IV, VI, VI, VIII, V, IX, and then X, still got to play XI, XII, XIII, XIV, and XV.
This was the first game I ever played when I got my SNES.
probably the siccest intro of any FF game I played
I only played 1 and 4
Love the Doom Castle theme!
I played this when I was six! I didn't even know what Final Fantasy was at the time. Feels good to see this again.
Here just for that awesome battle music hahaha
Yes! Couldn't agree more! It was a refreshing change from the overly dramatic FFII and was a good game to play while waiting for FFIII.
Hells yes! Sweet childhood memories!
I really loved this game a lot. It did a great job keeping me occupied until FFIII came out, but it had an excellent soundtrack and a cool combat system. The graphics were bright and colorful...they could have continued this as a side series and I would have bought every last one of them. One of my Top 10 fave games.
I recall never beating this, despite it actually being quite good.

GOOD FINALLY FOUND IT, I KNEW IT WASNT A DREAM
Gotta love that soundtrack~
My question is the winter cave after all 3 floors are removed of enemies where do you go cause stepping outside the arrow doesn't point to next area just where you have already cleared out
Still one of the most badass boss themes of all time!!
The flamearus rex is a core memory. But in my head its a big ass red dragon
my first RPG. wow... memories..
I understand all the hate for this game but I still love it.
Not sure why Square thought US gamers needed an introductory game to RPG's. My very first 2 RPG's were Skies of Arcadia and Grandia 2. Had pretty much no idea how RPG's worked and still managed to beat them.
IN THE FOREST are chest suppose to respawn with potion every time you walk out and back in the level??? you could get unlimited potions then??? or is this a clitch for the roms???
You can if you're willing to take the time. The chest will refill every time you exit.
I rented this game a long time ago. I never got to finish it and I didn't remembered the name. Now for some reason I remember the name lol.
So beautiful child play memory and best game ever
So this is the game that Square wanted to use to introduce americans to the RPG genre. I gotta say...It worked! at least for me it did. Loved every minute of this game as a kid :)
I know this was no FFV but it was still a decent SNES JRPG. Basically the Final Fantasy Legend games on SNES.
imagine going into a forest and meeting a goblin with a mohawk trying to box you
Played this game when I was 5. But I think I had a bugged copy because my game always froze at the same exact spot in the Ice Temple. Ironic...
it very much has a "7th saga" vibe to it - esp. in the way the battles play out - a bit of earthbound too - also the battle music reminds me of battletoads hehe..
One of my favorite games!
This game will be included in the second Theatrhythm for 3DS =)
this game gets so much hate and i get part of that reason is because it's intended to be basic in its entire concept but it was very enjoyable i was never bored playing this i loved the music the few interactions being able to jump move around use weapons just walking around and able to see the actual enemies instead of just random battles that happen from just walking.
favorite final fantasy game
Wow. Awesome soundtrack.
Want to see this fucking masterpiece remade like FF7 got its remake.... I want to play an up-to-date version of ALL the older FF games. Mystic Quest, 3 aka Japan 6, 8, and 9, all remade into epic quality.
This game looks like it belongs on the NES. At least the soundtrack is really good.
Best Game on SNES😍
this is in my top 20 favorite games of all time.
simple smooth rpg system with quick access descriptions(BoF does not have this)
interesting characters
a beastly sound track
and some easy yet awesome bosses :D
i actually played this more times then ff7 tho 7 has far more replayability which this has none lol..
Dude you totally missed an item in the Bone Dungeon to the right of the rib cage you have to bomb through.
Oh sweet nostalgia
Something I can't help but notice is that the Crystals look like Rupees (The Legend of Zelda) xD.
I like your profile pic!
Jeremy Kegley Thanks xD
They kinda do don't they? xD
Haha yes! FF and The Legend of Zelda are my 2 favorite game series!!
3:21 EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE COME OOOOOON!!!!!
better than final fantasy 13,14,15
+Vato Loco 92 ...What a loco perspective...srsly.
+Vato Loco 92 sadly, I somehow have to agree ...
lupina015 NO WAIT! HE'S LOCO, don't encourage him! Besides, you know he is DEAD WRONG! Don't make me call your mom...!
mthrswd uhm ... uhm ... whaaat? ô.o
13 does have a better execution than 6 though
I love this game I love all the FF games
i have been looking at this game on my table and thinking were is my snes lol any way great game .
When I bought this for $60 when it was released, I felt like I was ripped off. Mostly because I was. I was expecting something along the lines of Final Fantasy II, and got whatever this is.
Really good monster animations during battle. Better than 6 ;) but otherwise an okay game.
Want a remake D:
Your version is a bit different..mine is smaller/more stronger colour. The hair on my character is orange/red(fire colour) and all the colours are different,more strong
This reminds me of pokemon red and blue for the game boy.
I love this game!
