Final Fantasy Mystic Quest (1992) reviews

I guess this accomplishes what it aims for (dumbed down final fantasy) but I don't know what the reasoning was behind that attempt. Effectively, this is a Final Fantasy game that emphasizes the grinding and ditches the varied combat and strategy.  I'm not sure how a practically plotless grind-fest was supposed to be "beginner friendly", but I wouldn't spend too much time on this one.
