I first played this game several years ago, and it was the first RPG I ever played. Well, it totally got me hooked! Now I can't get enough of RPG's, especially any game by Squaresoft. I played it five times in a row. This game is so much fun, everyone should definitely buy it.

Like a cross between the Zelda and Final Fantasy

This is an action rpg. It's like Zelda only with HP, EP, andstats for strenth, magic, and will. It's hard and the storyline ismature. Not NC-17 mature. More like PG mature. There's a lot of non-violent deaths, like Lion King.

A captivating gameboy game

First we must remember that this is a gameboy game, and a rather limited one at that. Considering the limitations of the gameboy, I consider this game absolutely incredible. The music (for 8-bit 2 tracks) is wonderful, with feelings of sadness, courage, and the fight of the game. (Yes, I even wimped out and eventually bought the OST to this game ^_^) Even the graphics are well-made, for a gameboy (no color). The story of the game is also wonderful too. This is an action-rpg game, and can be considered like Zelda. As a FYI, this is the prequel to Secret of Mana, so if you played that game, you may enjoy this one even more.

The ultimate adventure game!

I got Final Fantasy Adventure for Christmas and played it right away. I must say, this is the best action\adventure game I've ever played. At some points, I wondered how they could fit everything on to a small cartridge like this, and I am sure somebody else in the world agrees with me. I admire their effort to incorporate a level-up system into an action game. The enviroments look awesome, and the music helps you really understand what the situation is. In short this is a really great game!

The best reason to buy a Gameboy!

This is unbelievable! I am 39 years old and have been totally captivated by this little game. And it's not so little. You will travel vast distances in your journeys through this world. The story is interesting and yet easy to follow. You get to name the two main characters, which is cool. The control scheme is deep and yet easy to figure out. It comes with an 80-page manual, but I haven't needed it much yet. I initially thought this would not be my kind of game since I'm more into arcade type stuff, but this story just hooked me and reeled me in. I've lost hours to this thing already, and I love it! The first thing I noticed when I first began to play it was the music. You can't help but admire the amount of effort that went into just the music alone! I usually like to turn the music off in a game, but it never even crossed my mind here. The music is moody and changes to fit the scene. If you've never played this type of game before, I heartily recommend this as a great way to expand your gaming horizons!

An excellent twist of a classic!

This is definitely an excellent variation of the classic Final Fantasy series. In this Zelda-style rendition, players may customise their main character in several ways to lean toward brute strength, magic, weapon technique, defense, or any combination of the above. The game is challenging and absorbing, and definitely a must for any RPG fan!

can't get past where they leave you

This game is fun at first, and the instruction booklet gets you to a certin point. Then they leave you to your own devices, it loses the fun. I still can't find out how to get past it.

Old skoolin fun for the gb

Ok, to start it off the story of this game is a little weak, but it is still good for the consideration it was on gameboy. The battles are fast and no random stuff, plus you get a new weapon and new armor about every 1 or 1.5 hours. The graphics are good by gb standards, and progression is fast, dungeons are a little boring but it's good because sometimes you have to knock down parts of the wall so it keeps it interesting. And lastly I loved the magic and weapons, just because it was well put together for such a small little system.

Good, but repetitive

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.

Attention Secret Of Mana fans:

Final Fanatsy Adventure is actually a literal prequel to the 1993 SNES game Secret Of Mana. The series, known in Japan as Seiken Densetsu ["Holy Sword Legend"], actually began on the GameBoy back in 1991. Secret Of Mana is actually Seiken Densetsu 2. Seiken Densetsu 3 was never released outside of Japan. Oddly enough, the fourth game in the series was released in Japan not as Seiken Densetsu 4, but rather as "Legend Of Mana"... though this is fitting, as it doesn't really bear much of a resemblance to the previous three games.
