So yesterday I beat FFII - I thought it was really fun and cool - I liked how you always felt like you were on a mission - on the go- Fun, I want to play this again someday - because my characters were so weak and I missed some swords- I also want to play it on the playstation since the difficulty is up with the item slots- I played this on the GBA - but yeah, it was a fun game!

So in short, you completed FF2, and it was spiffing. Excellent

Finally, FFII gets some love.

YAY! i completed it on the playstation today. It was really fun, but Pandemonia was a dissapointment, as the most any of the bosses took off was 430 and the Emperor died after 2 hits from Firon

Yeah, the thing about FFII is that the bosses themselves aren't a problem. It's making it to them alive that's the real challenge.

ill agree with that. when i reached the emporor i had nearly no healing items and ethers left. in fact i think i had none left. pandamonium was long and hard to find out how to get through it. i found the emporor hard but thats mainly because inever bothered with magic much and only got my spells to abot level 11 (level 16 just takes so long.) and the battle goes fine until i run out of MP. FF2 doesnt get as much credit as it deserves.

I finally beat this game. It was right up there with FFV in terms of difficulty, I thought. When I first faced the Final Boss, I got my ass handed to me because:

a) my primary Magic user (Maria) was doing way too much. She was the only one with any staff skill, so I had her healing people with the Healing Staff. Also, she was casting shield and blink (as she was the only person with those), and trying to be offensive with Ultima at level 11.

b) nobody else had much to do. Firion could attack and cast Haste 4. Leon could attack really well, and Gus couldn't do much of anything, plus, he'd always end up cursed for lack of a ribbon or soemthing.

c) I DID NOT HAVE BERSERK. AT ALL. I never got it, and boy, did I regret that.

So, what I did today:

1. Leveled Up Maria's Ultima to 16.
2. Leveled up Firion's Haste to 8.
3. Gave Gus Holy and leveled it to 7, so he could have a purpose.
4. Wandered around for 4 effing hours trying to find a Berserk scroll. I fought hordes of Warlocks and never got one... FINALLY, I discovered a secret place to buy one. Behind the bottom of the waterfall in the Jade passage. Did everyone know this already? I didn't see it mentioned anywhere.

Maybe it's commonly known, and I'm just stupid, but just in case...
Guess what? You can buy Berserk scrolls behind the waterfall in the Jade Passage.

5. Got the Genji Armor, Helmet, and Gloves, which I didn't do before. Split them between Leon and Maria.

So I gave Berserk to Firion and Gus, leveled it to 5, and made my way back up to deliver a severe beating to the Emperor.

I really enjoyed Final Fantasy II as well. The story was fun, enjoyable, and as a player, I constantly loathed the Emperor from the start. I wish this game got more love.

The only thing I didn't really enjoy was the leveling system and that you could kick the crap out of anyone with the amount of blood swords in the game.

I'd rate this game right up there around a 7/10.
