Oprainfall: "We have just over a month until the release of Final Fantasy XV, and it looks like there will be no further delays this time. What that also means is that we are starting to get into the real nitty-gritty of the list, and there is a lot more splitting hairs between the differences in these games. Because I honestly like every game from here on in quite a bit. So there will be some major surprises about where I rank some of the mainline Final Fantasy games, but it’s not like I genuinely dislike any of them. In that vein, while it’s not surprising that Final Fantasy II is the lowest of the (non-MMORPG) mainline games, some may be surprised that it is ranked so highly on this list."
Final Fantasy II was an important stepping stone for the series and genre, flaws and all.
How does Final Fantasy II stand by the standards of today? Is it timeless? Or a forgettable entry to an unforgettable franchise?
