Ah, yes, that article in an old issue of Nintendo Power discussing what happened
when games were released in different countries...very often the names are
changed...The point was, in Europe the Final Fantasy series was known as the
Mystic Quest series...'So we have to wonder what Final Fantasy Mystic Quest will
be known as..."Mystic Quest Mystic Quest"?!?'. It was just a sort of 'cute'
thing in the article. ^_^;

I'm pretty sure I remember hearing that Mystic Quest was produced in US and then
translated and released in Japan...
