    I think it’s worth noting that if you’re playing the Pixel Remaster version, it’s significantly less jank than the original from the NES. They also made the trap rooms a lot less brutal. That said the game is overheated for sure. It had ideas that didn’t pan out but it also was pretty ambitious for a NES game.

        That’s why you like it, then. Every version of FF2 beyond the original has made the levelling less awful as well as try to fix up some of its other

        If you go back and try an English translation (or can read Japanese I guess)of the original you’ll find its a shit ton of pointless grinding that just hurts to play

        Im usually ok with a grind and some pain in older JRPGs but FF2 is not ok
