Final Fantasy Mystic Quest
Final Fantasy Mystic Quest, released as Mystic Quest Legend in PAL regions and as Final Fantasy USA: Mystic Quest in Japan, is a 1992 role-playing video game developed and published by Square for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. It is a spin-off of the broader Final Fantasy series. Final Fantasy Mystic Quest was first released in North America in 1992 and marketed as a "simplified role-playing game... designed for the entry-level player" in an attempt to broaden the genre's appeal. The game's presentation and battle system is broadly similar to that of the main series, but differs in its inclusion of action-adventure game elements. It was also the first Final Fantasy game to be released in Europe.

Where Final Fantasy Mystic Quest sits on the grid
The grid places every game in the catalogue on measured axes rather than on an opinion. This is where Final Fantasy Mystic Quest lands on each map it has the data for, with the share of the catalogue it beats on each axis.
- Year
- 47ahead of 5% of the catalogue
- Reach
- 32ahead of 74% of the catalogue
Percentiles are against the games that carry a reading on that axis, not the whole catalogue: counting a game with no figure as a zero would flatter everything that has one. How the grid works.
What readers say about Final Fantasy Mystic Quest
Reviews written by people who have played it. These are separate from the GamingPickz Score and are never averaged into it: that score comes from thousands of Steam reviews with a sample-size correction, and a handful of unverified ratings would distort it rather than improve it.
