WAJG reveiwed Final Fantasy Adventure, known in Japan as Seiken Densetsu and in Europe as Mystic Quest for the Game Boy.
"I wanted to rate this higher, but it has too many major flaws in the gameplay to give a higher score to. I hate to harp on this again, but the figure 8 puzzle makes this game impossible for some people to beat as they’ll never figure it out. The game is fun, but highly outdated."
The average cost of Game Boy games has been steadily rising for years. If you look at the overall price growth, which has doubled within the last five years, then it should be pretty clear Game Boy game prices are following the trend of increasing retro video game prices.
You would have to be crazy to keep a Pokemon game in the box after getting it as a kid, though.
I still have my Final Fantasy Adventure and Zelda: Link's Awakening, but loose. I haven't had the box in... I don't know, a couple decades?
This month's feature looks back at the Final Fantasy game that launched the Mana series.
Final Fantasy Adventure will always be remembered as the game that started the Mana series, a blend of traditional RPG elements and real-time action, with towns to explore, dungeons to conquer, and a variety of useful weapons, but its overriding sense of the melancholy and tragic aspects of honor will always strike a harsh chord with those who enjoy picking up a sword to save a world that they themselves will never be allowed to enjoy.

I really don't understand this line... How do these even correlate at all? It's not like these two aspects contradict one another.
PR groups assigned to selling a title often have no idea what the game they're selling is about. Hence the vomited nonsense.
I want to try this game. It doesn't look bad.
