Final Fantasy Mystic Quest (a.k.a. Final Fantasy USA: Mystic Quest in Japan and Mystic Quest Legend in Europe) is an early spinoff of the shin-kickingly popular Final Fantasy franchise, released for the Super NES/Super Famicom in 1992. The game was developed primarily as a way to ease western audiences into the JRPG genre, which at the time was niche to the point of borderline commercial impracticality outside of Japan. As a result, today it's widely considered to be outmoded, laughably easy and hastily-written at best — although it does have a vocal fanbase who cherish it despite those faults.The story revolves around Benjamin (you only learn his name from the manual, since he has no default name), a boy chosen by fate to save the world. To do so, he must recover the four magical crystals to restore the world's climate to its proper order. Along the way he will be joined by several allies who have their own reasons for helping him: Kaeli, a young woman who is connected to nature; Tristam, a ninja treasure hunter with his own jazzy musical theme; Phoebe, a mage who joins you to help her grandfather stop an endless winter; and Reuben, a warrior who is searching for his lost father in a volcano. Each will join your party at various times and help you deal with the monsters infesting the land, as well as teach you useful things and give you useful items.Your goal, of course, is to find the four monsters who have stolen the Crystals and slay them to set things right. But are things really as they seem?Mystic Quest is considered the red-headed stepchild of the series, and it's still criticized for being too easy and full of cliches that most JRPGs have long-since abandoned. The relative ease proved beneficial to newcomers to the genre, but Final Fantasy IV and VI (along with Squaresoft stablemate Super Mario RPG) ended up becoming the 'gateway drugs' that Mystic Quest might have been. Another reason why the game is so hated is that many mistakenly assumed it was shipped as a replacement for Final Fantasy V, which was never released in its original form in the U.S. Although this is not the case, the two games shared enough visual similarities to raise eyebrows.That said, the game's music is among the greatest 16-bit soundtracks. Composer Ryuji Sasai also wrote the soundtrack for a much lesser known SquareSoft game, Treasure of the Rudra, as well as Final Fantasy Legend III.It finally got some true acknowledgement in Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call, which includes the regular and boss battle themes and adds Benjamin as a playable character. (This is the second time Mystic Quest has received any kind of Shout-Out or spinoff inclusion since the original game was released, with the previous being a referance in the Mognet letters in Dissida). The original game was also released for the Wii Virtual Console.Not to be confused with Final Fantasy Adventure, whose European title is Mystic Quest.note This is because no Final Fantasy game had been released before in Europe, so oddly they launched it as the first and dropped the Final Fantasy name. This game became Mystic Quest Legend, without being connected to The Final Fantasy Legend, which was a renamed SaGa. Confusing, right? | |

Ice Palace | |
| Final Fantasy Mystic Quest (Video Game) / int_12dec2e | comment |
Ice Palace: The three dungeons in the Aquaria region are all ice-themed, with the Ice Pyramid most befitting of the "palace" type. Once its boss is defeated and the Crystal of Water is restored, most of the ice covering the land thaws out, shutting out access to the Falls Basin (which is now simply a waterfall pouring into a lake). | |

Early Game Hell | |
| Final Fantasy Mystic Quest (Video Game) / int_1527d90d | comment |
Early Game Hell: The game has the opposite difficulty curve to most other Final Fantasy games, as the hardest parts are actually encountered early on, with your attacks having an annoying habit of constantly missing and the enemies quite easily able to score critical hits. Once you've levelled up and got some better equipment, things quickly even out. | |

Final Dungeon Preview | |
| Final Fantasy Mystic Quest (Video Game) / int_15fa54bf | comment |
Final Dungeon Preview: After defeating the Hydra boss in Lava Dome, a path opens up in the Focus Tower that leads to the lowest level of Doom Castle. You can only explore a small part of it that's walled off from the main part of the level, but you can fight some monsters and access a chest containing the Aero spellbook. | |

| Final Fantasy Mystic Quest (Video Game) / int_16bd88c9 | comment |
Pre Existing Encounters: Enemy mobs are always visible in a set position on the map and don't move, except in two dungeons where they are hidden (by thick fog, magic, etc.) There is always a treasure in each of those dungeons to counteract their invisibility and make them visible. The "battlefields" on the World Map are also non-random, but finite. | |

Wrong Genre Savvy | |
| Final Fantasy Mystic Quest (Video Game) / int_20a14df0 | comment |
What enemies are weak to what element tends to throw players off when they expect standard FF elemental rules to apply. Flying and digging monsters in particular tended to throw a curve, with flying monsters being weak to wind and digging monsters being weak to earth, despite using those elements to attack. Though in retrospect, a targeted tornado is a pretty good way to ruin a bird's day. | |

She might have the (arguably) best magic in the game, but she doesn't gain HP nearly as fast as the hero (note her HP total at level 15, for example, when Ben gets that high) and she'll end up with a Defense stat easily forty to fifty points lower than an equal-level Ben at the end, especially if you bother to get all the best armor. | |

Hyperactive Sprite: Enemies, NPCs that don't wander around, and PCs during battle all have a constant animation that usually looks kinda like walking. Curiously, Benjamin is fine staying still outside of battle, and NPCs that do wander around will hold still between steps; the intent seems to be specifically to communicate that immobile characters aren't also inactive. | |

Guest-Star Party Member: Everyone you encounter will join your party exactly twice. To her credit, Phoebe joins for what are easily the longest stretches of the game (the three dungeons of Aquaria, and then the entire Doom Castle sequence). Tristam is infamous for his short appearances (one dungeon early on and then half a dungeon later). This gets a bit annoying later as many people find themselves pining for Phoebe again, since she's way, way, way more powerful than any of the others (moreso if you take advantage of Good Bad Bugs). | |

Elemental Powers | |
| Final Fantasy Mystic Quest (Video Game) / int_42846e90 | comment |
The game makes a point of telling you when an attack was more or less effective against a target. In addition to the magical Elemental Powers there are also Bomb, Axe (including Reuben's Morning Star as well as the hero's and Kaeli's axes) and Shoot (Phoebe's Bow and Tristam's Ninja Stars) type attacks. Most of the strategy in the game is matching attacks to monster weaknesses. | |

Low-Level Advantage | |
| Final Fantasy Mystic Quest (Video Game) / int_46fc2236 | comment |
Low-Level Advantage: It's possible to severely damage the final boss by casting Cure on him. The spell will actually do MORE damage at lower levels. (This does not work if your partner casts cure though.) Though the advantage hardly matters; even at max levels, it will do over ten-thousand damage a hit (in a game where no other attack is above the low thousands) and kill him with very, very few castings. | |

Useless Useful Spell | |
| Final Fantasy Mystic Quest (Video Game) / int_4c709317 | comment |
Useless Useful Armor: Tristam's armor, the Doom Robe has no status resistances except one: Doom. It's the only armor in the game which resists Doom. The first enemy in the game to use a Doom attack appears immediately after Tristam leaves your party for the last time (leading to speculation that he was intended to be around longer). The next partner may temporarily steal this resistance due to a bug, though. | |

New World Tease | |
| Final Fantasy Mystic Quest (Video Game) / int_52c791eb | comment |
New World Tease: Traversing the Focus Tower between Fireburg and Windia the player can find a staircase leading to a very small section of Doom Castle, the final level of the game, long before the player reaches it, properly. If nothing else, the kick-ass music and awesome rock guitar riffs should be enough of a reminder to the player that this location has future importance. | |

The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard | |
| Final Fantasy Mystic Quest (Video Game) / int_6041e4f4 | comment |
The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard: It's a turn-based game, so your actions are determined at the beginning of each round. Get hit for over half your life? Tough, deal with it next round. The monsters? No such restriction — unless the computer is that stupid, an enemy that was at full health at the beginning of the round, after you bring it down to its wounded form, will just cast Cure to fully heal itself. Fighting mage-type enemies, especially when they outnumber you 3-to-1 in this game, is REALLY annoying. You can get this to work for you, if you set your ally to Auto... but that had problems too. | |

Find the Cure!: Part of your motivation for going to the Bone Dungeon is looking for the Elixir that will cure Kaeli. More specifically, you're going to the Bone Dungeon to help Tristam find treasure so that he'll be satisfied and give you the Elixir - it's implied he's the one who took it from the Sand Temple. | |

Black Magician Girl: Phoebe. She's essentially in a dead heat with the hero for "strongest magic user in the game"; Ben can eventually pick up a greater variety of spells, but her magic stat ends up in the nineties when everyone else, Ben included, caps out around 40-50 or less. If you're lazy about picking up the strongest magic spells, she'll be the most powerful spell-flinger by a county mile. | |

Permanently Missable Content: Any treasure chests you leave in a one-time area such as Falls Basin cannot be reclaimed. As a variation, you can return to the Charm Claw's chest later on if you skipped it by accident, but if you already have the better Dragon Claw, you won't pick it up because you have something better, leaving a hole in your collection. | |

Revive Kills Zombie | |
| Final Fantasy Mystic Quest (Video Game) / int_6b486b81 | comment |
Revive Kills Zombie: Naturally, since this is a Final Fantasy game. Cure damages the undead, which the game describes as a "zombie attack" and they are invariably weak to it. Life should One-Hit Kill the undead, and does in the EU and JP versions, but in the NA version a flag accidentally got inverted somewhere and it one-shots everything except the undead. Also an Exaggerated Trope for the final boss, who wasn't supposed to have this trope apply to him; however, due to an overflow bug, instead of healing him healing spells do so much damage to him that they kill him in just a few shots. However it only works when the Hero does it, if Phoebe tries it, her ridiculously high magic stats make it overflow TWICE and loop back around to healing. | |

Too Awesome to Use | |
| Final Fantasy Mystic Quest (Video Game) / int_7d561d58 | comment |
Too Awesome to Use: For the first entire half of the game, you can only get three Seeds (magic restoring items) which are hidden in a single chest deep in the Bone Dungeon. Sure, you can leave the dungeon and reenter to get more, but that takes ages and is incredibly boring. So, until you get to Fireburg (where you can buy as many as you want), you'll be rationing those things (and spells in general) like they were made out of diamond. | |

Crutch Character | |
| Final Fantasy Mystic Quest (Video Game) / int_7deb3fb1 | comment |
Crutch Character: Literally everyone that joins your party: since they don't level up, you will always be several levels below them, and get to spend your time playing catch up. By the time they leave your party, you'll likely be even with or stronger than them, which means it's time for them to leave and be replaced with someone who's stronger than you once more. The worst offender is Kaeli: she's your first party member and joins at level 7, but quickly gets poisoned and taken out of the party to recover. When she joins you much, much later, she's apparently recovered so well that she's now level 31, despite spending that time bedridden. | |

Cap | |
| Final Fantasy Mystic Quest (Video Game) / int_834427cd | comment |
Cap: Specifically, level caps. As noted, all of your party members have set levels that don't go up, giving them hard caps. (Kaeli and Reuben max out at 31, Tristam a measly 23, and Phoebe is the highest at 34.) The game doesn't allow you to go higher than level 41, however, and since you don't actually gain any actual stat bonuses at 41, the "real" level cap for Ben is 40. Surprisingly, you do earn added spell slots if you keep amassing XP (the counter continues to climb) after level 41. | |

Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors | |
| Final Fantasy Mystic Quest (Video Game) / int_83b89a9c | comment |
Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors: The game makes a point of telling you when an attack was more or less effective against a target. In addition to the magical Elemental Powers there are also Bomb, Axe (including Reuben's Morning Star as well as the hero's and Kaeli's axes) and Shoot (Phoebe's Bow and Tristam's Ninja Stars) type attacks. Most of the strategy in the game is matching attacks to monster weaknesses. What enemies are weak to what element tends to throw players off when they expect standard FF elemental rules to apply. Flying and digging monsters in particular tended to throw a curve, with flying monsters being weak to wind and digging monsters being weak to earth, despite using those elements to attack. Though in retrospect, a targeted tornado is a pretty good way to ruin a bird's day. | |

Set Piece Puzzle: Many of the dungeons require you to press switches, move around blocks, or blow holes in walls. This was actually innovative for the series at the time, since most Final Fantasy dungeons fit the No Sidepaths, No Exploration, No Freedom classification. Even more odd is that very few games with the name have tried to further what the game began, or even tackled the same gameplay ideas. | |

Fantasy Character Classes | |
| Final Fantasy Mystic Quest (Video Game) / int_905af87e | comment |
Fantasy Character Classes: Despite none being named, there actually are elements of this in the game. Kaeli is, despite the green dress, actually a sort of armor-wearing, axe-wielding Druid/Barbarian hybrid. Tristam is basically a ranged Ninja who uses light armor and throwing stars. Phoebe is a bow-using Caster of all three magic types (making her the second most powerful character in the game in terms of raw potential), and wears "cloth" armor to match. Reuben is pretty much a vanilla Fighter type - tough, big weapon, heavy armor and not much else, though he's strangely given access to Holy in his second joining. There are even HP total differences between everyone - Ben gains exactly one "block" of HP per level, and everyone else is adjusted around this (Phoebe takes a rather significant penalty to HP, Tristam takes less, Kaeli's about equal to Ben, and Reuben has bonus HP). Meanwhile, though, Ben kind of does everything. To simplify the character’s ranks: for the first half of the game, Benjamin is a Knight (only person capable of using swords), Kaeli’s the White Mage, Phoebe’s the Black Mage, Tristam’s the Thief, and Reuben’s the Warrior. For the second half, Tristam’s the Ninja (no change from the first half of the game, Dragon Claw access and he’s faster), Reuben’s the Monk (access to White/Holy and Life, extra HP and physical damage), Kaeli’s the Priest (uses “maces�, or rather axes, most Healing spells, her first quest is to try and heal a dying forest) and Phoebe’s the Red Mage (access to nearly every single spell, significant HP penalty). Benjamin’s the Paladin who can do nearly anything. The entire cast is a homage to the original game! | |

This also applies to the rest of the playable cast—this◊ is the Japanese art, and this◊ is the European art. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Final Fantasy Mystic Quest (Video Game) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: The game repeatedly tells you that there are four magical Crystals that Benjamin needs to restore to put the world back into balance — so why are there five crystals on the title screen? After defeating the Dark King, the fifth Crystal, the Crystal of Light, is revealed to be the Old Man that has been guiding Benjamin on this quest all along. | |

Experience Points | |
| Final Fantasy Mystic Quest (Video Game) / int_b21ed2d2 | comment |
Experience Points: An interesting case, because only the main character can gain levels. Partner characters' levels are all fixed, depending on when in the game they are recruited. For the first "half" of the game companions outlevel Ben when they first join. The queen of this is Phoebe, given how strong she has to be for the final Aquaria dungeon. Unless you've been grinding like crazy she'll have ten levels on Ben and somewhere around three times his health. She can solo many of the early battlefields and possibly even the first dungeon by herself, were it not for the emotional breakdown you find her in. Cap: Specifically, level caps. As noted, all of your party members have set levels that don't go up, giving them hard caps. (Kaeli and Reuben max out at 31, Tristam a measly 23, and Phoebe is the highest at 34.) The game doesn't allow you to go higher than level 41, however, and since you don't actually gain any actual stat bonuses at 41, the "real" level cap for Ben is 40. Surprisingly, you do earn added spell slots if you keep amassing XP (the counter continues to climb) after level 41. | |

Bottomless Magazines: Averted with Ben's bombs, Tristam's shuriken and Phoebe's arrows, which have a max capacity of 99. However, ammunition chests are frequent inside of dungeons and respawn when you leave the area, so unless you are really wasteful, the amount is rarely a problem. | |

Lighter and Softer | |
| Final Fantasy Mystic Quest (Video Game) / int_ce6555f0 | comment |
Lighter and Softer: In comparison to a lot of Final Fantasy games before and after it, Mystic Quest is a lighthearted adventure. The body count is virtually non-existent (though Benjamin does mention his hometown being destroyed in the beginning, he doesn't mention causalities) and the game gives off a goofier vibe that doesn't take itself seriously. Even other lighthearted Final Fantasy games, such as FFIII or FFV, don't go that far. | |

Fake Difficulty | |
| Final Fantasy Mystic Quest (Video Game) / int_e4e86215 | comment |
Fake Difficulty: Monsters that can inflict Confuse, Petrify or Paralysis become game-ending encounters when you only have two party members and Benjamin can't get equipment to nullify those three statuses until the end of the game — your second party member doesn't find new equipment at all. As well, the Life spell for Benjamin cannot be found until the end of Lava Dome (read — final dungeon in the 3rd of 4 regions), so for a good chunk of the game he's unable to revive his ally if they die, and the spell is fairly easy to miss given how large and confusing the dungeon is. | |

"Figure" presents a standard numeral pairing of current versus total, while "Scale" is more like a series of horizontal bar graphs, Presumably, the intent was for people who might not be good with numbers at a glance to just see the graphs and think, "Lots of yellow = good; lots of red = bad, time to heal". | |

Prophecies Are Always Right: Double Subversion... The prophecy that "a chosen boy will save the world" was made up as a prank by the Dark King himself, but the old man that sends Ben on his quest is revealed to be the Crystal of Light, and they fulfill the Dark King's fake prophecy anyway. | |
