Dunno mate, FFXV allowed me to buy soundtracks of the rest of the series to play as I rolled in my awesome whip. And did I sacrifice 1 slot for the mp3 player? Yes, yes I did.
yeah, its roman numeralsXV means 15 right?
i've played both. 2 has a better story, game mechanics are on par with each other. the rabtoons video on ff3 is the best part of ff3.FF2 is genuinely good (at least the dawn of souls version which is the version I played). And while I understand the people who say it is the worse mainline FF game, I also still disagree and would say they clearly havent played FF3, but thats about FF3 not FF2. The game tried out a lot of different things and was very experimental, some stuff hit and has stuck with the series to this very day. Other stuff didn't.
Overall I'd say FF2 is misunderstood. I hear the SaGa games are inspired by it so I might try out one of those at some point
it kind of is. i checked out the nes version a few years ago, and it had a set up like quest 64, where the individual stats had exp bars, so you could see how close a stat was to leveling up, so you would have an idea of when it levels up. that's not present in any other version. and the later versions are far more random with stat boosts. you can fight 3 singular goblins and get 4 stats upgraded, even for characters who didn't get a turn; but spend 20 minutes stat grinding and get one boost for one character.ff2's plot is pretty wacky in a real entertaining way, yeah. always felt like the 'wauauuurgugh i have to equip 30000 pounds of armor and get hit by a slime for seventeen hours to even survive' sentiment was overblown.
I got rid of the tedium by removing all my characters’ equipment and boom! No grinding for levels or money!I only like the pixel remaster of ff2 as it gets rid of the tedium.
this theme really suits the story as well.
I liked listening to Balamb Garden theme on repeat driving around pretending I was playing a good gameDunno mate, FFXV allowed me to buy soundtracks of the rest of the series to play as I rolled in my awesome whip. And did I sacrifice 1 slot for the mp3 player? Yes, yes I did.
