Topic: Help Me Remember...

[Armak88]

I've been something of a lurker in these forums for some time now, I actually read them quite a bit to pass time but I don't post much. However, this has been bothering me for quite some time and I could really use the help of you guys to remember this video game from my childhood. Originally, I thought that it was the 1st final fantasy because of the rpg-ish elements to the game play, but I recently borrowed FF1 off a friend and realized that it definately was not it. I remember that it was closer to an action rpg and it was for the SNES. In the first level you meet a person who joins your party whos weapon is an axe, and after the dungeon, he leaves the party and gives you the axe. This continues as you enter new areas, you meet someone, they fight with you through a dungeon then leave and give you their weapon. The weapons usually have some affect that can be used, for example the axe could cut down small trees in your way. I can't remember if their was a seperate turn based battle screen or not though. Also I remember their being a level where you go inside a tree (I was reminded of this both in OoT and Golden Sun) and an ice cave-ish level, but those are pretty standard video game settings i guess...

Well, I'm sorry if that's not a lot to go on, but it's all I really remember right now. If I remember anything else I'll be sure to post it.

Thanks in advance.

Well, this is a guess, from the fact that you thought it was Final Fantasy, but for the SNES.
Could it be Final Fantasy Mystic Quest?

Well, right you are. I guess it wasn't so difficult. Thanks.

I have some fond memories of this game, but I never owned it. Maybe I'll pick it up if it shows up on virtual consol.
