I’m like Nagito Komaeda except instead of wanting to destroy despair, I want to destroy mid

My number one most overrated game of all time....is FF2.
FF2 theme plays for two seconds
Ok, seriously people? You are seriously going to call THIS GAME, one of the greatest games of all time?! Alright alright alright...you're telling me you'd rather play FINAL FANTASY 2....then Metal Gear Solid 3? You would rather play....FINAL FANTASY 2....then Skyrim?! You would rather play....FINAL FANTASY 2....then Team Fortress 2 (do you see where I'm going with this)?!
I see this game on DOZENS of "Best Games Ever" lists and it just doesn't deserve it! And before you go all ape on me I am fully aware of the history behind FF2 and how much it impacted the FF’s storytelling, but that's more of it being influential rather then a good game! When was the last time you actively sought out playing FINAL FANTASY 2?
When was the last time you thought "Hmm...I don't think I wanna play Battlefield 3, I think I wanna play some Final Fantasy 2." I bet it was you were waiting in line for something and had nothing else to do. I'm DestroyerOfMid and I'll conceit that Final Fantasy 2 is a fun and challenging game.....but it does not deserve to stand amongst the greatest games of all time!

Has many instances of misogyny and a battle against a shadowy version of yourself, making it yet another lesser RPG jealous of Persona’s success

Originally, I didn’t care for this game but Square recently started a financial compensation program for Aerith fans who’ve been harmed by the compilation of FF7 so this 5 star review is my way of saying thanks for the $100,000

Brilliant use of the concept of constantly repeating cycles established by FF1

Why didn’t Avalanche just vote for a new CEO of Shinra?

I've read a lot that the story is great but the gameplay drags the experience down.

I think that the gameplay varies from ok to great. It's just that people aren't acostumbed to random encounters anymore, and even then there are ways make it more bearable. Also the combat has more depth than any of the subsequent games. The story, in the other hand is... fine. The premise is quite good but the game don't spend enough time developing its plot and characters to earn the feelings that it tries to convey in the end.

Overall is a very good experience. People should be less afraid of playing old games with ""outdated"" mechanics.
