I know some people only give credit to this game because it was succussfull enough to go on to make one of their favourite Fantasy's. I personally hated FFII. It was boring and the story was bland. I still haven't beaten it, it's sitting there in my PSP, I'm at the mysidia cave. I'm happy it was successful enough to make some coin so the series wet on. But FFI was so enjoyable. It was your journy, not someone else's. Sure it lacked Chocobo's and summons/edilons/whatever but it gave a certain feeling. Now, FFX got X-2 a direct sequel. So did XIII. So when you think of it FFII is a sequel to 1. It's even released together in origons. It was pale compared to it's predeccesor, but not so troutty to kill of the series, thank god. Does anyone like FFI over FFII? Please try and convince me it's good enough to go and finish this bloody game.
