I give it a 3.5...here's why this miserable peice of plastic deserves this generous rating. First off the graphics lack in detail and the characters seriously look like figures from a plastic cartoon show. I give these things a 3.25/10 The music...well i give it a .25/10 for the reason of the final boss music actually being semi decent....the rest of the loud AND ANNOYING crud licking tunes in the endless and annoying caves and odd buildings, are seriously embaresing to even be seen playing a game with such awful sounds...its realy some of THE worst music i have ever heard in my life...seriously i have played about every PSX and SNES RPG out there and i have just never even listened to such an awfully put together music set in any game...i can keep going... The gameplay is the saving grace of this trash pile....the elemental system is a darn cool way to manage your elements and strength...although i could have thought of 10 other ways that the gameplay is god awful, like the horrendous camera angles after each and every annoying battle throught every single cave in exsistence....the other thing i hate about the greesy gamplay is that the battles lack in any variety and the attack methods are very slim...altogether i give Gameplay a 6.5/10. The game design is just funny its so bad....heck the story is so badly woven together i laughed out loud in the face of some of the "major" story elements such as an optional quest to talk to a king or the realy cheesy way you find out about your father...oh and i love how the bosses just apear in each dungen you are in...such as the girl in the forest....or the way that you just teleport to the end of the game with not so much as a black screen change and no special effects...heck the way you kill the boss of the game is just funny and stupid...because the text is nasty looking and the little happy-go-luckey celebration move does remains the same trought the game...heck when you kill the boss all you see is "brian" and then it swiches over to a badly woven to gether ending speech by "white haired girl"....i give this a 1.0/10 And finaly for entertainment value....well i already explained throught my "review" how awful this bloody corpse of an RPG is...so i give the final score a

2.0/10
My advise...dot play this thing...you'l lose all fealings and die an agonising death from the tedious dungens and god awful story line....thank you and good night.

ok heres my thinking

graphics-7 they lack detail and the camera angles are annoying but otherwise there good

sound 7- nothing memorable but it is good

story 5-while it isnt bad in it of itself beat this game and then beat final fanticy7 and youll see why i gave it that oh and might i add it totally lacks chaecter devolpment both in your main chaecter and everyone else

gameplay 6-
things i liked:
the battle system(which i now dub a "real space system")

stats system(not only more realistic but makes leveling up a whole hell of a lot eaiser)

things i didnt like
imbalanced enemies(there always way to strong or weak and you must spend twice the time levleing up as actually playing)

no money/shops(while its a good theory it didnt work the way they did it)

overall-5 it had so much potenal which remains untapped

i dont like trash and i dont like quest...sorry to dissapoint but quest was supposedly gonna be a great game and help N64...but instead it gave me something to suffer through...dont get me wrong i liked it when first released...its just that i played breath of fire 3 and ff7 and CT and FF3 as well as Legend of legia (which is by the way a better version of quest...much better) and almost every RPG ever released...and well you do the math.

If you look at the game for the time it was made and the other options out there at the time. That game was excellent. In comparision with current game it really is nothing. It had some innovative features and a great battle system. Also only having one character to control is a twist on a RPG very seldom used. If they would have taken more time and polished the game up it could have easily been a ten. I will say it is a solid 8

Tisk, tisk, spoiler. ;) Heh, not that I care, though.
Alright, now I'm here to post my opinion.

First, your talking to a girl that a year ago would defend her Nintendo to the death. If you insulted anything about it, I would start screaming and throwing things. Now, I prefer Computer Games to everything else, and then PSX, sorry to say.

But here's my rating.
Over all, I think I'd give it a 3. Somewhat low, some people might say, but the most important things in an RPG are what are the lowest scores.

Graphics :: 7.0 They were quite good for the time they came out- however, the camera swervering around made me want to kill it. Also, at the beginning, when your running down those five million staircases to find the door didn't help much either. ;) But, the graphics were nice.

Combat SYSTEM :: 10.00 The idea for the combat was awesome. The casting of spells, the staff fighting, the way to move out of the way of spells/attacks- that was a great, awesome, idea. However...

Combat ITSELF :: 2.0 Stinky stinky rotten awful stinky stinky! *cough* Err.. sorry. Alright, it's simply because of the camera. It would swerve around so much that you would often end up staring at a hill instead of the fight, and you would try to change it, and it would go right back. I always ended up missing turns and such. My friends who played this agreed with me, as well- but then again, none of my friends are really RPG players (I convinced them that this was close enough to an adventure game for them to play, though ;)). Anyway.. the combat was just terrible. And the spells scared me. A lot. A real real REAL lot. RED.. COTTEN... CANDY... AAAATTTTACCCKKKKKKKKKK!! Eh, hehehe, sorry.

Story :: 1.0 We all knew this is going to come up. Now, I've been spoiled. I was raised in a family that played D&D. I was sat down at a computer by age of 2, and by 4, I was playing stupid little games like Putt-putt goes to the moon. I have had the privlage to play Planescape: Torment (now *THAT* is a true RPG), Daggerfall, the Final Fantasies, Chrono Chross/Trigger, Legend of Dragoon, Summoner, and all sorts of others. It's of no wonder that I find this games story terrible. Alright, the idea sounds good enough. Find his father, and a book. But it's never really.. established. Their's no twists and turns in the story, nothing ever keeps you guessing. From the start, you know that you simply are going to play through the game, then at the end, find your father, and the dumb book. That repulsed me. I hated hated HATED this storyline. So, to me, it's a 1.

Difficulty :: 1.0 If you fought all of those monster battles, and kept going through them, the game was a sinch. If you got sick of them, and kept running away, the boss would kill you with a glance. And I couldn't find a happy medium.

*shrug* There.

i find that the story to this game is pretty good if you think about it

but the thing is you shouldnt have to think about it im not saying there cant be gaps for you to fill in but those gaps shouldnt be in the main story like they are in quest

plus the story simply didnt excite me or keep me going thus failing miserabally in its purpose

i dont like the lack of money in quest

i guess the theory is that since brian is saveing the world people are helping him by giveing him stuff for free

but there are 2 MAJOR things about this theory they overlooked

1. NOBODY ELSE tries to help brian(at least not directly) ordanery townspeople may not be the most informed people in the world but they know whats going on localy and they would inform brian about whats going on and try to help him at least if the shopkeepers(who are also ordanary townspeople) were helping him

2. most of the shoppkeepers indicate they dont know brian is saveing the world(hell brian dosent even know that until towards the end) and many indacate they dont even know brian

Umm, in my opinion it sucks pretty bad. My first RPG was Super Mario's RPG on the SNES and I loved that game. The next RPG that I got was Quest, I was looking forward to another RPG (I was like 11-12 at this time) and even at my young age I could see this game clearly sucked. It took away my interest in all RPG's until the golden Final Fantasies entered my life...

I would have to give it a negative 45000. This is a disgrace to the video gaming world. This "RPG" only has one character, and a cheap ass battle system. You never need to get new armor, new weapons, or buy items, cause you can't! There is no currency in the game. Just endless fighting to the crappiest video game music that I have ever heard. The graphics were nice, but so were Super Mario 64's. But that was a long time ago. Each and every Playstation RPG is better, even Beyond the Beyond. In fact, the only RPG that Quest 64 is better than is Aidyn Chronicles. And another thing, Quest 64 and Aidyn Chronicles are proof that THQ sucks at making RPGs.

Tra-la-la. *Copy paste*

This is a disgrace to the video gaming world.

I think you're on the wrong board... it sounds like you're talking about Final Fantasy 8. ^_^

This "RPG" only has one character,

*sing-song* Zelda! Legend of Mana!

and a cheap ass battle system.

Define 'cheap'. Do you mean 'cheap' as in you lose all the time, or 'cheap' as in stupid? I can't comment until I'm sure of what you mean...

You never need to get new armor, new weapons, or buy items, cause you can't!

Reason: The game isn't focused around equipment. The game doesn't HAVE to be focused around you running around picking up the legenday sword excalibur which happens to be in a nearby treasure chest. The game is based on magic.

And you can't just run and buy 99 X-potions to make sure you don't die. ~_^ Items are limited,w hich makes hte game harder.

There is no currency in the game.

Nope. ^_^ Doesn't need to be.

Actually, there is currency, but it doesn't involve Brian. People realize he's saving the world, and give him things to help him, rather than saying: "I'm only helping you get rid of meteor if you pay me 320000000 gold"

Just endless fighting

I can't think of a single RPG which doesn't involve fighting a good deal as you move from town to town.

to the crappiest video game music that I have ever heard.

*Listens to the overworld theme from FF8*
¬_¬ Come again? Quest's music is very good...

The graphics were nice, but so were Super Mario 64's. But that was a long time ago.

Quest's graphics are more comparable to Zelda, which came out afterwards. Zelda looks a little better, and it should. Quest looks MUCH better than Mario 64, I've had both on at the same time looking at similar details, go test it out yourself. ^_^ Quest, if nothing else, LOOKS nice.

Each and every Playstation RPG is better, even Beyond the Beyond.

¬_¬ Horribly biased. I can just as easily say that Quest is better than each and every Playstation RPG, since you gave nothing to back that up with. I happen to like Quest more than a few good Playstation RPGs.

Quest is a good game. ^_^

I think you're on the wrong board... it sounds like you're talking about Final Fantasy 8. ^_^

Oh yeah, too bad that disgrace only sold a million or so copies, more than what I can say for Quest 64.

Define 'cheap'. Do you mean 'cheap' as in you lose all the time, or 'cheap' as in stupid? I can't comment until I'm sure of what you mean...

Cheap as in, any moron who can press a Z button can beat it.

Actually, there is currency, but it doesn't involve Brian. People realize he's saving the world, and give him things to help him, rather than saying: "I'm only helping you get rid of meteor if you pay me 320000000 gold"

??? And exactly when in the game does that happen? Do you expect people to give away stuff for free to anyone who says they are saving the world?

I can't think of a single RPG which doesn't involve fighting a good deal as you move from town to town.

At least other RPGs have mini games and cut scenes to help the story flow, and keep the player interested.

¬_¬ Horribly biased. I can just as easily say that Quest is better than each and every Playstation RPG, since you gave nothing to back that up with. I happen to like Quest more than a few good Playstation RPGs.

Yep, I'm so biased that I have 2 Nintendo and 2 Sony systems. I also plan to get a couple of the next gen consoles too. And I'm not biased against any system. There are N64 games that are better than PSX games, and some PSX games better that N64 games. There are just alot more RPGs on PSX, like ten times as many, and alot better ones.

Quest is a good game. ^_^

Oh yep, people were talking about it for years after it was released. GameSpot gave it an amazing 5.4, and its average reader review is 6.6. Ooo, it also got some good scores on the GameFAQs reviews. Yeah, it even sold so good that they cancelled the sequel.

And at least some other RPGs give you an ending worth seeing. Quest 64 gives you an amazing two minute ending, and then some text, and a The End screen. Wow. At least the Final Fantasy games give you a ending worth seeing. Final Fantasy games have long endings with cinemas, Grandia has a ending which at least shows the characters and what happens to them, and Chrono Cross has over five endings. And most RPGs (FF, Chrono Cross, Grandia I & II, Legend of Dragoon, etc.) give you cinemas and amazing cut scenes throughout the game that will draw you in. Did Quest 64? NO. Did Quest 64 have a good ending? NO. Was it worth playing through? NO.

And you seem to dislike FF8. So I just wanted to point out that it is #18 on the GameFAQs top 50, even after its been released for years. So it seems that alot more people like it more than Quest 64. In fact, Quest 64 isn't even on there. And the GameFAQs reviews for FF8 are mostly high, with a few exceptions. And Quest 64 seems to be the exact opposite.

As hard as it is to deal with the stupidity I have seen on this board, I will. I feel sorry for anyone who says this game is one of their favorite games. I guess you haven't had the chance to play G O O D RPG's such as: Lunar, Grandia, Legend of Dragoon, Final Fantasies, Skies of Arcadia, Star Ocean, Wild Arms, Chronos... I could go on forever.. even Ephemeral Fantasia, Beyond the Beyond, and Jade Cocoon were better IMO. I cannot see... better.. I do not want to see anyone say this game is one of the best RPG's. ANY... I MEAN ANY avid RPG gamer would think this game sucks or at best is mediocre. And before you say it... SHUT UP. I know all you Nintendo fans will whine soemthing like "SHUT UP.. Sony fanboy." Nah. I am a huge fan, but I loved Nintendo and Super Nintendo and Gameboy Advance, and Nintendo 64 was alright. Gamecube looks impressive. I liked Dreamcast and Genesis (Sega has nothing to do with this, im just stating a fact). ... After all this I will answer the post...

No offense, but please use Italics when you're quoting people, it makes your argument more easy to follow, so we can have a solid discussion. ^_^ Anyway...
***
I think you're on the wrong board... it sounds like you're talking about Final Fantasy 8. ^_^

Oh yeah, too bad that disgrace only sold a million or so copies, more than what I can say for Quest 64.

^_^ I was just commenting on your logic. You essentially said that a game you don't like as much as other games becomes a disgrace to other RPGs. I don't hate FF8, but I liked it less than Quest, does that make it a disgrace? I liked Quest better than Zelda: Majora's Mask, does that make it a disgrace?

Define 'cheap'. Do you mean 'cheap' as in you lose all the time, or 'cheap' as in stupid? I can't comment until I'm sure of what you mean...
Cheap as in, any moron who can press a Z button can beat it.

~_^ NOW I can disagree with you. Quest is, without a doubt, one of the hardest games I've ever played. It's much harder than, say, FF8. In FF8, I died very rarely, while on Quest, I started having problems with random battles.

On the FF series, you can repeatedly press 'O' and go through a large amount of battles. ^_^ I like the series, and there's more to it than that... but Quest is a hundred times more difficult.

??? And exactly when in the game does that happen? ['That' referrs to people giving you free items as you are saving the world] Do you expect people to give away stuff for free to anyone who says they are saving the world?

^_^ You're not like, say, Cloud. You're Brian, the son of the legendary Bartholomy, and well-known as a spirit tamer. The vast majority of the world knows who you are, kind of like Mario.

Since people KNOW you're saving the world, they try to help you out.

I can't think of a single RPG which doesn't involve fighting a good deal as you move from town to town.

At least other RPGs have mini games and cut scenes to help the story flow, and keep the player interested.

First of all, that is a different argument, and doesn't quite answer my statement. ^_^

Secondly, the lack of mini games is one of Quest's largest weaknesses. As for cut scenes... why? The story isn't force-fed to you, you're not going to meet a person who will scream: "Warrior! Destroy the evil which is tormenting the world!" or something.

You: Each and every Playstation RPG is better, even Beyond the Beyond.

Me: ¬_¬ Horribly biased. I can just as easily say that Quest is better than each and every Playstation RPG, since you gave nothing to back that up with. I happen to like Quest more than a few good Playstation RPGs.

You: Yep, I'm so biased that I have 2 Nintendo and 2 Sony systems. I also plan to get a couple of the next gen consoles too. And I'm not biased against any system. There are N64 games that are better than PSX games, and some PSX games better that N64 games. There are just alot more RPGs on PSX, like ten times as many, and alot better ones.

^_^ I didn't say that you, as a whole, were a biased person. I said that your statment was biased. For example, I could say: "Each and every Nintendo game is better than each and every Sony game" which would be a blatant lie, and there's nothing to back it up. That's biased.

Quest is a good game. ^_^

Oh yep, people were talking about it for years after it was released. GameSpot gave it an amazing 5.4, and its average reader review is 6.6. Ooo, it also got some good scores on the GameFAQs reviews. Yeah, it even sold so good that they cancelled the sequel.

~_^ People didn't like it. Why? Because the game is difficult, and the story isn't forced to you.

To be honest, most people see this the same way YOU do. Whereas the remaining few of us see a very innovative and unusual game.

And at least some other RPGs give you an ending worth seeing. Quest 64 gives you an amazing two minute ending, and then some text, and a The End screen.

Quest 64 gives you an ending which wraps up the story, rather than one which makes minimal sense like some other games. Solves most of the problems, notifies you as to the status of the world.

Wow. At least the Final Fantasy games give you a ending worth seeing. Final Fantasy games have long endings with cinemas, Grandia has a ending which at least shows the characters and what happens to them, and Chrono Cross has over five endings. And most RPGs (FF, Chrono Cross, Grandia I & II, Legend of Dragoon, etc.) give you cinemas and amazing cut scenes throughout the game that will draw you in.

^_^ I'll give you that, the endings to most of the games you've mentioned were very spectacular. Of course, people don't play games due to the endings.

Did Quest 64? NO.

Nope. Quest 64 didn't have a spectacular CGI effect ending. Neither did Zelda.

Did Quest 64 have a good ending? NO.

Quest 64's ending was just fine, thank you. ^_^ Helped explain what happened through the game.

Was it worth playing through? NO.

The wonderful battle system alone is enough to make me come back to the game, among other elements. YES it was worth playing through.

And you seem to dislike FF8.

For the record... I do like FF8. It just has quite a few 'problems' with it, which makes it convienient to bring in as an example. ^_^ I like FF8, just not as much as several other RPGs.

So I just wanted to point out that it is #18 on the GameFAQs top 50, even after its been released for years.

~_^ That's because FF8 looked REALLY, REALLY good. People played the game solely for eye-candy, plus the fact that it was minimally difficult, so a two-year-old could auto-junction their equipment, then casually trot through the game. ^_^ People like easy games with eye candy.

<iIn fact, Quest 64 isn't even on there. And the GameFAQs reviews for FF8 are mostly high, with a few exceptions. And Quest 64 seems to be the exact opposite.

The reason for this are the same as the ones above; most people see this game the same way you do.

Now for the other person:

As hard as it is to deal with the stupidity I have seen on this board, I will.

I'm sorry you had to deal with such stupid statemnets like: "Quest is a good game" /sarcasm

I feel sorry for anyone who says this game is one of their favorite games.

^_^ I feel sorry for you people who don't like it. Missing out on a great experience...

I guess you haven't had the chance to play G O O D RPG's such as:

I, pickily, will go through your entire list. ^_^
