Great collection of games with a good QoL speed up feature that doubles movement and actions but keeps the music playing at regular speed, serious when i say i never turned it off when playing.

That said, I really only got this to play Legend III because i wanted to try the other game that the devs of FF Mystic Quest made and you do see a lot of that game in this. From some of the monster sprites, to the jumping+puzzles using it (which sadly isn't utilised as much as id like so you forget it's a thing until you need it), to the guest allies that come and go. I guess the main diff is that you get 4 main allies instead of 1 and also incorporates a lot of the FF Legend mechanics without limited weapon usage.

-----
Just from playing i highly recommend a guide if for no other reason then just to learn what anything does since the game has no descriptors. Basically you get a large variety of weapons and armour but aside from the ones that physically boosts stats, it doesn't tell you how strong something is. Like how you start out with a long sword (10 pow), battle axe (20 pow), long bow (7 pow) and a bronze staff (6 pow). Basically knowing this there is no reason to use the sword over the axe, while the staff is actually useless since i don't think it boosts magic power and mutants (which are better with magic) don't hit hard with them either.

Incidentally the better early game weapons ends up being Psi daggers (attacks using magic but doesn't tell you this, good for magic casters and are best for them till you find a better psi weapon in the mid game), the whip since it can hit twice (doesn't tell you this), and the nunchuk early since it's slight stronger then the axe. Never really found a use for bows, skills, fists, or guns outside of the psi one, maybe if you don't want to take counter dmg i guess.

The transformation mechanic is lacking in in game info as well, which npcs talk about but the game doesn't really simplify it.

ie "Monster < Beast < Human/Mutant > Cyborg > Robot". You have 2 humans and 2 mutants who are good at atk and magic respectfully. Any one of them can transform so imo it's better to turn humans into robots once you can buy some capsules since their agi is quite lacking even near end game, while mutants are better turned into beasts to supplement their low health (not monsters later since you'll want everyone equipped with mystic weapons in the end).

Overview
- Monsters always scale to their respective enemy but cant use weapons/gear (can be equipped to save inventory space however) making them cheap to use while spamming talents since they cost nothing,
- Robots start out weak but can be capped out easily with buying stat capsules making them quite busted with aoe weapons or just spamming their talents, no mp so can't use spells.
- Beasts are a little lacking early but can make up for a mystic's lack of hp and agi as you get closer to lvl 31 and their final form resists everything.
- Cyborgs are meh, they neither have the scaling of humans/mutants or accessibility of capsules, they instead gain hp boosts off the gear they have (hidden bonus), but since robots can also use weapons they are just superior.

battles might drop either meat or a bolt based on enemy type. If you are in base form (human/mutant) then you'll just transform into them or revert back if you eat the opposite, ie and based on the flow above, if you are a robot and eat monster meat then you'll go back to human/mutant, while eating beast meat will turn you into a cyborg (+2 or +1 basically), or using the toilet will bring you 1 step closer to centre.

Every Odd level unlocks a new set of transforms for everything in each element so you just have to find the one you like and which element they transform into is based on your current allies element and the meat from the monster you just fought (recommend a guide to keep track of that).

-----
TLDR, Once you figure things out its not too bad to manage, it becomes more annoying to keep track of effects on later game equipment when you want certain ailment coverage (which the game also doesn't tell you, you just have to put something on and see what get's circled on their talents page).

My only real complaint about this game is actually the random battles, aside from the ship module there isn't a way to stop them when you are fed up with grinding and the steps for the next encounter is anywhere between 1 and 30, you'll either get them back to back, or never see them once when running through a map.

Aside from that i had fun and that's all that matters to me. Highly recommend for the harder Mystic Quest experience, while i'd rather play The Secret of Varonis for a flushed out Legend 1 or 2-like.

This game is superb, SaGa FINAL FANTASY LEGEND.

It's three games at once.

FINAL FANTASY LEGEND I is about going through the towers to different world, like in Stephen King, the Tower books, wiith guns in the game. Only to find out that the boss to slaughter was creation of god who wanted to test humanity.

FINAL FANTASY LEGEND II is about realms of gods like Odin, Apollo or Aphrodite only to find out that the pieces of artyfacts called MAGI are beeing accumulated, for one purpose only, to creat new world for one of the gods. While in the middle of the game, there is Aprodith's city of only beautiful people, who are cast to exile if they have sligthest ugliness, like scar over some part on the body.

It all starts with players dad disapiring for quest of serch, and not coming back for years, so that the player goes out on adventure to find him.

FINAL FANTASY LEGEND III is about time travele, to past and future. And destroing monsters like from horrror movie/game/book. And finding out that player oneself's proposes name for himself to his own father, in the past, at the very end of game. There is starship that you can use in game.

All this is so nice game, you can chose to play human, mutan(that are of magic), robot/cyborg, and monster, that evoles, or changes, afther eating carrion. You can use melee weapons or guns, and tanks, as weapon. You can hit one enemy or grup of them.

Games slowly progress into more and more densed battles.

Creatures are from different mythological lore, and sf, and much more, meking me feel like I play in all in Wolrd. Like real one.

This is the oldest RPG I have ever payed. On steam, the remake is wonderfull, first time I am able to play GameBoy green scren,black ink on steam/pc. : D
