Yes, for this fucker right here. I played this game constantly as a kid but there was a point where you had to find a hidden dungeon entrance to progress and I could never figure it out and the game effectively ended at that point for me. At some point I convinced my parents to let me call Nintendo and ask them what I was supposed to do.

IIRC the "hint" the game gives you for finding the entrance is "palm trees and eight". This was a desert area and there were palm trees everywhere. I tried looking for areas with eight palm trees, I used every attack and every ability eight times on every palm tree I saw, I walked around palm trees eight times clockwise and counterclockwise. Whatever dumb shit you can think of, I probably did it. I don't remember how old I was, probably 9 or 10 with all the free time in the world. Spent hours upon hours trying to figure out what I was doing wrong.

So I finally call up and this motherfucker tells me that there's a spot where there are two palm trees you can walk between, and you need to walk around these TWO palm trees such that you draw a figure eight. It worked but it sure pissed me off.

Spent many autumn nights in the early 90s playing it.

I think FF:A, which is technically the first title of the Mana series, is better than any 2d Zelda. It oozes soul and has superior lore. Also, the ending also makes me teary eyed.
I think the main thing to keep in mind is always have a lot of keys and Mattocks before dungeons.
It also has cryptic puzzles like AlttP. I beat the game at 9-10 years old without a guide, but I had to use one a little bit at 32.
I consider it better than other Mana games.

The only good final fantasy games are the games that aren't even final fantasy games

Seiken Densetsu

It always felt like a budget Link's Awakening, but I learned to love it. This and Metroid II.

i cri evertim

No

What's the best way to play this game? Sword? Adventures? Or the original GB version?

I killed Lich early and now when I'm supposed to get the Nuke spell, it disappeared from my list and Lich doesn't show up anymore :/ ...did I just frak my game?

How does Final Fantasy Adventure compare to the Final Fantasy Legend series. Better/Worse?

you couldn't save her

This is my personal favorite, but I haven't played as many Gameboy games as I should. Working on Final Fantasy Legend right now.
