Right after the first game, I decided to play the second, with the hope that it would be a little better. Well... in some facts it's better, and in others it's worse.
The game certainly has a much better story, where you control rebels to the oppressive empire of Palamecia, in which you want to control the whole world. This Final Fantasy was the first to introduce Chocobos and the first Cid as well.
Its battle system are both good and bad. We finally have MP to perform spells, but the level up of the game is very strange, really, basically, Every time you attack an enemy with a sword/weapon/etc, you gain experience points related to the weapon. The same with spells and life (yes, to increase your HP you need to TAKE DAMAGE).
In general, I had more fun with this game than the first, as much as I could see why it was the first black sheep in the franchise. I feel like this game either you really like it or you just hate it. It's by no means the best RPG I've ever played, or the best game I've played in my life, but it's a solid game. I ended up not platinuming this game, but I did the first one. I just didn't have the motivation to level up a spell/weapon to level 16, and that's pretty hard to do.
