I take offense to having my post considered "redundant" but I'm going to just drop it cause I'm not in a mood for a fight (or getting banned over something this trivial) but I doubt the game would have ended similiar to II but then again who's to know but Matsuo...

And Hazzard... you don't like IV?

Back on topic. So here's a question... which do you feel had a greater impact on the genre. FFI or FFII?
