I think it’s worth noting that if you’re playing the Pixel Remaster version, it’s significantly less jank than the original from the NES. They also made the trap rooms a lot less brutal. That said the game is overheated for sure. It had ideas that didn’t pan out but it also was pretty ambitious for a NES game.
That’s why you like it, then. Every version of FF2 beyond the original has made the levelling less awful as well as try to fix up some of its other
If you go back and try an English translation (or can read Japanese I guess)of the original you’ll find its a shit ton of pointless grinding that just hurts to play
Im usually ok with a grind and some pain in older JRPGs but FF2 is not ok
I loved it too! Until I learned you can attack your own party to essentially powerlevel. Couldn’t stop myself from abusing it instead of doing some proper leveling.
Here’s a hot take. I really like the leveling system in Final Fantasy 2.

The first version I played was the dawn of souls on the GBA. Never tried the og.

FF2 is my favorite in the series. This meme hurt me. :(

Yep, punch myself in the face until I never need equipment again.
Same, you can really see the bones of what would become SaGa on it, I like it very much from the combat to the keyword based dialogue.
