Admit it.You LOVE FFTA2!
>>730737514It's ok. Greatly slowed down the gameplay compared to the first by making you start at 0mp and making everyones health pools so massive.
>>730737514It's my favorite FFT game, and the only one I go back and replay every now and then.My only complaints are how the game has so many canon character recruitables forced into your clan which severely limits the customization. It wouldn't be so bad if most of them didn't suck. Adelle is the only good one because you get her early enough to grow her stats into something worth using. Cid's starting class sucks and comes too late. Hurdy sucks. Montblanc sucks. Frimelda is okay but comes way too late. Vaan sucks. Penelo sucks. Al Cid really, really fucking sucks. And you can't get rid of any of these characters without hacks. Also they nerfed Nu Mou into the ground for no reason. Why they don't get Blood Price like that one asshole Illusionist from a sidequest chain is beyond me.>>730737567>making you start at 0mpFortunately the game also grants you methods to circumvent this with things like Blood Price and MP restoring abilities.>and making everyones health pools so massive.This is why when I replay the game it's on Normal, not Hard. Hard does nothing but turn enemies into damage sponges. You're still going to win, it just takes longer. And by late game the differences between the difficulties are negligible at best.
>>730737514It has Gria so I automatically love it
>>730738483well said
there's nothing to admit, I am very openly fond of the Ivalice franchise
>>730737514wasn't it like an improvement to the battle system but a downgrade to the story?
>>730741165The main story is a bit dull but the appeal is more in the sheer volume of side stories and how it makes the world feel very alive despite the tiny slices you're allowed to see of it
I never got to play beyond the first 2 or 3 hours because my DS lite went “missing”(my brother “borrowed” it) for months and when it magically turned back up (covered in scratches) I just didn’t want to play it anymore
>>730738724god i love the ivalice races
>>730737514I do
The main story is shit, but goddamn, those sidequest lines were kino
