    ZOMG!

    Ahem...

    I love this one as well I really think it's underappreciated.

    Skyblade - the PSP version is perfectly balanced. I played this version to the death. This one stays fun

    Whenever FF allows me to do so, I always make my windows a garish multicolored nightmare. Have done since I first played FF7, never stopped, never will. Sorry not sorry.

    I remember doing that on FFVII too. That was so much fun.

    Tell the other games they can wait.

    Two of my guys just got hit with darkness and I have nowhere to find an item to cure it (staying at an inn doesn't revert the status) not to mention related items are in the 1k range anyway. I also have no idea how I'm supposed to get to Paloom.

    I've only ever played the FF Origins version. Does the PSP version fix the flaws with the level up system? If so I may try it some day. My lasting memory from this game is going into battles to repeatedly whack my own characters into oblivion and enter 'attack->cancel->attack->cancel' over and over again to gain stat/skill ups because the natural progression of said skill ups were far to infrequent when compared to the difficulty progression in the game. This was one of the most unfun things I've done in a video game.

    I remember several caves where my team was fine only to get to a boss where my hits did 0 damage. I remember building up my fire spell to be halfway decent only to get a better spell that I have to now build up from scratch ('magic->flare->cancel->cancel->magic->flare->cancel->cancel'). I remember giving Maria a bow and putting her in the back row, which was great because she never got hit, but also meant she never got HP or defense up, thus making her a sitting duck if she ever did get targeted. Too many bad memories.

    The story is great though.

    Yeah, weapons in this game are crap. You're better off unequipping weapons and armor as you deal more damage with your hands and evade more often and I don't put anyone in the back row so their health increase. I'm only at the beginning and already dealing damage into the hundreds.

    That switches when you get to endgame equipment.

    I just finished it and, aside from a bit of a difficulty spike in the last dungeon I love this game immensely and think it's got to go high up my list of favorite FFs.

    I haven't been playing it a whole bunch, so I'm still pretty early in the game.

    Glad you liked it so much!

    When can we expect the 2,000 words essay about why FFII is the greatest game of all time and why everyone should play it?
