Final Fantasy Adventure is an action/RPG for Game Boy
made by Square Soft in 1991. Even though this game is
called Final Fantasy Adventure, it's actually the first
Secret of Mana. In Japan, Secret of Mana is called Seiken Densetsu
which means Legend of the Sword. Square Soft changed
the game's name for America so more people will buy it
since Square Soft fans haven't heard of anything besides Final Fantasy
yet. Unlike the Final Fantasy Legend series
(Game Boy's other Square Soft RPGs), this game has the
traditional airship and the ever-so-famous chocobo. But
you can't ride the airship, instead it's like a dungeon you gotta go
through. Final Fantasy Adventure is a one-of-a-kind game.
The stories begins with a warrior fighting against a
giant beast. The battle's purpose is to entertain a king,
that is the life of the warrior. One day a good friend of
him dies from his battle wounds and tells the warrior how
to escape. The warrior successfully escapes and runs away
from the castle to a waterfall. He notices a mysterious
man and a knight talking in front a waterfall. He spies
on them and listens to their evil plot. When the man
disappears, the knight notices the presence of the warrior. He chases him up to the edge of a cliff and
pushes him over. The warrior falls down and lands safely
in a field. He battles his way across the land to stop
the evil knight and that mysterious man from possessing
the true power of Mana.
Very similar to Zelda, you explore a world and fight monsters that stand in your
way. You can equip yourself with several different weapons that each have
their own advantage. Every time you gain a level you get to choose if you want
to gain more stamina, power, wisdom, or will. Stamina makes you
last longer in battle. Power makes your attack more effective.
Wisdom makes your spells stronger. Will increases the speed of your max
attack meter. Your
max attack is pretty handy. There's a different max
attack for every weapon you can be equipped with. Your max attack meter starts out slow and slowly
goes faster each time you gain a level. You need a
lot of patience to get used to this game when you first
start it. Always remember to look at your energy! You tend to forget about it at
first. There
are also helpful people that join you for a while in the game. One of them raises your HP, most of them aid
you in battle, one of them raises your MP, and you can
even buy stuff from one of them. For more information on
this game check out my walkthrough. It also has 8 giant
maps (and 1 small one) to make exploring easier for you.
Not all enemies can be defeated by the same weapons. Some enemies can't be
defeated by weapons at all! In cases like that, you gotta use your magic.
When you enter a room that needs to have an object placed on a square then that
means you need to freeze an enemy with the Ice spell. When your power
meter is full, take advantage of your special attacks. You will need the
special attack of the whip to be able to cross long pits. Curative items
are kind of a pain to keep on using so its more efficient to use the Cure spell
instead.
This is definitely one of the BEST Game Boy games ever! It's so fun and it can get
quite addicting. The music is pretty good too (for what Game Boy is capable of).
And comparing to other classic Game Boy RPGs, Final Fantasy Adventure has the
most dialogue. If you love Game Boy RPGs then you MUST download this game and
play it. You will surely love it. The magic in this game is cool too. The Ice
spell is my favorite! When you cast it you actually get to control it
toward your target.
