Now something good about this game is the gameplay. Very very solid gameplay from the very start. I love how you can start off by choosing which four people to play with. The starting is simular to IV with the whole crystal thing except not nearly as in depth. The fighting is more simple in this one kinda like pokemon where you dont have to attack as fast as you can type thing.
As for FFII, i have not played that but i am sure the game is great!
