FFII - Worth Getting?

August 18, 2007, 2:01 AM

Since this topic crops up so much, I figured I'd make a topic and sticky it.

Is this game worth getting? Please post your replies so that people who cannot decide can read this to make their decisions.

It's only worth getting if you want to play an esrly FF. The storys pretty good for an old game but the battle system is HORRIBLE.

FF2 is an awesome game, better than the first imo.
It is definatly worth getting, the Level up system is kinda confusing but you get the hang of it.

I reccomend this FF game for whoever wants a good story, The story is awesome for a NES game.

The story is pretty great - an enormous improvement over the first installment. The battle system isn't awful, but just different. I personally liked the fact that it's more realistic; the more you use a certain weapon or spell, the more powerful you become with it.

It's still not too amazing in comparison to today's games, but it's still quite good - much better than the first, in my opinion.

If you want FFII I would suggest getting Final Fantasy I & II Dawn of Souls. (Final Fantasy I & II Advance (Japan)), It has better graphics and a couple of new dungeons. But unfortunatly, The didn't make save points in dungeons. So if you die on B4 of the dungeon you will have to start all over again at the entrance of the dungeon. Cause you can only save on the overworld right?
I personaly give FFII a 6/10 or if you want it more specific here:
Graphics: 8/10
Music: 7/10
Battle System: 8/10
Leveling System: 2/10
Opening Scene: 8/10

Leki also supports getting the Dawn of Souls version, as mentioned above by FF Forever. It has both games plus some added dungeons....

But FFII by itself? Nope, not worth it. Leki means.... it IS a FF game, so if your into collecting FF, GET IT. But if you just want a random game, no. It's not worth it. Leki could never get into the story... and just plain hated the system.

Years ago, FFII was my favorite. That was until I got to play FFIX (the Pinnacle Rock reference was great).

FFII is not an easy game, and it can drive you insane. It is insanely unforgiving, and always a chore to finish.

I say, get it just so you can add it to your collection.

FF2 didnt seem to be as good as i expected it to be after FF1. I definitly felt that FF1 is much better and i would buy it before FF2 (on psp)

I don't see why everyone bashes the FFII leveling system. It's actually quite realistic (you only level up with weapons you use, you only gain HP as you take damage, your spells only become powerful if you use them.) The story is pretty awesome too. I got it for PSP and do not regret it.
