I actually really enjoy super old school RPGs like FF2 and the NES Dragon Quests a lot.
FF1 and 3 I am more EH on because job systems are just okay, but FF2 is actually a pretty neat and twisty narrative for its time. I like it slightly more than FF4 because look man FF4 is fucking LONG and so it actually ends up being my favorite 2D FF.
I admit my actual favorite from it is Leon because like dude just randomly commits genocide for the Emperor which shows off how scary the emperors mind control is but Minwu is pretty baller man. Plus his design is really really cool for a cleric type I mean look at this guy.
This is so much better than the generic white cloaked girl you get in most of the other games where you have dedicated healers.
Heck its pretty nice that for once you have a healer that isnt a generic heal-chick. I mean some of them are done well (like Yuna, though shes also a summoner which is cheating).
Interesting
It's probably the least favorite FF I've played through but I never thought it was terrible. Always good to hear a dissenting opinion.
The plot is actually pretty solid, yeah. You hear complaints about the gameplay but I man just how much do you play FF for gameplay ---
