I actually like Final Fantasy 2.
FF1 was actually the only one I almost finished.
I liked FF1. It's actually one of my favorite nes games.
Are you using the US or the Japanese numbering? US 2 was pretty good. Japanese 2 was still super early and closer to 1, so not very complex. I found that one to be fairly dull.
I don't like FF4. There's little to no agency and the story is lacking. I don't understand why so many people like it.
It falls into the style of RPG that is more like reading a book than having freedom to do whatever you want. Some people really like that story aspect.
I have an irrational fondness for it. The stat leveling mechanic is real double-edged sword, though.
Unless we're talking about 2/4 (with Cecil as the main character), in which case that one's just an absolute banger, no notes.
I did as well, reminds me of the early Saga games (Final Fantasy Legend series on Gameboy in the US).
