The classic SNES spin-off of Squaresofts Final Fantasy series has popped up on the Australian Classification Boards recent batch of classified games

Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest was Squaresoft’s attempt to nerf down the Final Fantasy experience to make it more palatable to western gamers, with a stronger emphasis on action gaming than the traditional RPG formula. The recent listing by the Aussie Classification Board pretty much guarantees that we’re set to see the game hit the Virtual Console download service in coming months.

The game was first released here in 1993, and was a moderately successful title at retail. For its time, the title was quite divisive among the Final Fantasy-faithful, with the toned-down RPG elements off-putting to those savouring a richer, traditional adventure. Well, we’ll all be able to see what all the fuss is about soon enough when it hits the Wii Shop Channel, and it’s encouraging to see that Nintendo hasn’t forgotten about this classic or the Virtual Console service just yet.
