Final Fantasy 2 (Pixel Remaster)

We’re at the point of FF2 rereleases that folk still spouting “YOU HAVE TO ATTACK YOUR OWN PARTY MEMBERS TO INCREASE YOUR HEALTH” are dumb, stupid idiots playing a game of telephone. The bigger problem with this sequel is how it never finds its balance. It begins and ends tough, mostly due to a lack of conveyance of what is expected of you, but everything in between is a pushover, especially if you have most of your party specialize in barehanded combat, which inexplicably scales so your fists become more powerful than this world’s greatest sword. Bad, though not terrible.
