Final Fantasy Mystic Quest

Final Fantasy Mystic Quest was a computer RPG (Role-Playing Game) for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES). The game was designed to be a "beginner" type RPG that featured simplified in-game options, storyline, and player control. It featured many elements of other Final Fantasy games, including a storyline focusing on quests centered on restoring five "crystals". Designed for American gamers as an RPG for younger players in the days when RPGs were still a niche genre, this was a much simpler and less epic RPG than Final Fantasy fans are used to. It included an optional "auto mode" for the other party members (other than the main character, controlled by the player) to make the best decisions during battle. The game was designed to be linear, that is, travel in the game is restricted to certain pathways as the game progresses. Compared to other Final Fantasy titles, Mystic Quest is very easy to play.

Plot
Benjamin, the main protagonist, finds himself on the Hill of Destiny as it is beginning to collapse. He is contacted by the Crystal of Light in disguise and told that he must rescue the other four crystals. After defeating a Behemoth, Benjamin sets off on his journey. He is aided by four different allies at different points in the game. Kaeli from Foresta is able to talk to trees and wields an axe in battle. Tristam, a mercenary who throws Ninja stars in battle is Benjamin's least reliable ally as he is always looking for compensation for his "services". Representing the town of Aquaria, Phoebe is a powerful archer who accompanies Benjamin to the final battle. Reuben from the town of Fireburg wields a Morning Star in battle. Each of these four allies help Benjamin through one of the four elemental boss battles to save each crystal (Tristam first, then Phoebe, followed by Reuben, and Kaeli last). In the end, rescuing the four crystals is not enough, as the Dark King has masterminded the entire plot. Benjamin and Phoebe climb the Focus Tower and defeat the Dark King once and for all.
