the first time I've beaten FFII(via NES-Emulator), I was really angry about the "stupid" statsystem!
It took lots of hours to get your chars strong...
now, after I've beaten the game 4 times(3-times-NES, 1-time-WSC) I LOVE the game!!!
the story, characters + the leveling system are a nice, its challenging(if you don't level up too much!) and its fun to fight the Emperor without Bloodswords
but there is one thing I dislike!
extremely easy bosses! like in FF9, there isn't a special challenge because most boss monsters are alot easier than a package of hard monsters!
still, I like the game alot!!
it reaches Nr.6 in my fav-game-list
