4.0 out of 5 stars a lot of fun, the first entry in the Mana series, June 19, 2003

The first thing to mention is that Final Fantasy Adventure is really part of the Mana series (Secret of Mana, Legend of Mana). This is, I believe, the first game in the series with the sequel being the excellent Secret of Mana for the SNES. I suspect that the reason for the name change is simply that Square thought that the Final Fantasy name would sell more copies when released in America. This is an adventure RPG.

Final Fantasy Adventure is similar to a Zelda game in that you control a character from the top down and wander around whacking enemies with your weapon (you get different weapons throughout the game). You must get clues to find where the next place to go is and what the next piece of the storyline is. It is as simple as finding and rescuing the princess, but is deeper than that with side story and the Mana Tree. Like other Mana games you do end up at the tree of Mana after a long adventure. When I first played this for the Gameboy I was about 12 years old (or so) and I loved it. This game was a lot of fun and exploring that world was at times a small challenge but overall was just a blast. It really isn't part of the Final Fantasy series (though you will see chocobos), but this is worth playing for fans of the Mana series as well as any who like old school games.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but repetitive, May 24, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Final Fantasy Adventure (Game Cartridge)

The game starts off fairly well. The first hour to hour and a half are very fun and enjoyable. After that, fighting the same little monsters over and over gets a little boring, but the frequent bosses are fun to fight so this is OK. The weapon/armor and magic was a lot of fun and easy to use. The variety in weapons and the fact that only certain weapons hurt certain creatures was a very good idea. The only bad part of this part of the game was the lack of variety in magic. This is, however, a minor complaint. The only real problems with the game are the bad graphics (black and white, they were designed for GB original) and the dungeeons. The only reason I say the dungeons are bad is that they usually consist of a series of rooms that look very similar to each other and you are never sure just where you are trying to go. I have beaten the game myself without the use of any guide books at all so the average gamer should be able to do this too. The only two parts that really frustrated me were the last dungeon, which is increibly confusing, and the last boss who is quite hard to beat. My overall rating... play Zelda first (the best RPG series in my opinion) but if you have finished that, go ahead and give Final Fantasy a try.

5.0 out of 5 stars Why are People dissing this game?, November 22, 2001

i love this game, it was one of my first RPGs, i bought by acciedent though, but i am glad, its a awsome game, on a trip i could play it for hours. I love the fighting (legend of Mana Type)- you select a weapon and a magic and attack monsters, the graphics are good for the gameboy color, and the speed of the gameplay is perfect. The storyline was great and i liked the ending, the bosses were always fun and they weren't thoose wierd one that you have to attack at certain times or have puzzling defenses, the dugons are stright forward with a bit of puzzle to them, you just need to spend 10 minutes in one and you'll be a pro at that dugon. Final words:BUY THIS GAME!!!
