>>314804707It's hard to describe, but if I had to pick one word that encapsulates FF2, it'd be Suffocating.
It's just...the atmosphere is so thick, dingy, depressing, and overall fucking horrible that at times it becomes literally physically exhausting to keep playing. It's really something quite special.
3 is ok. It doesn't really get talked about probably because it came after 2, which is nearly an impossible act to follow, and it's the 3rd game so it's not really anything fresh and new like the first one. It's not a bad game by any means though.
4 is probably the same deal, but even worse because it was only on the Wii and only in Japan, and the only way to play it in English is to either emulate the patched version, import a physical copy and play it with the SD card patch, or play a patched version on a softmodded Wii. It's actually a pretty fucking great game, and I'd rank it #2 right below the second game, but I just think not many people have played it.
