FFII's system is a bit of a naff one, yes. Sounds great on paper but in practice gets frustrating... for many people it is what holds the game down. With that said I don't think you need to worry about it all too much with the newer versions like the GBA or PSP. I managed to get through most of the game without needing to intentionally grind (I think the first time I did was before the tower with the giants and Ultima...). Just keep your fighters attacking, mages casting magic all the time (even if you find yourself wasting turns), and the HP and MP will mostly look after itself. Win every battle you come across (i.e. run only when you really need too), and only buy/use magic you intend to actually use and you'll find its not so bad after a while.Final Fantasy 2 on psp for first time. Its probably worst and slowest level up system I experienced so far in FF series ugh. 2 hours into game and I've only got my parties hp between 65 (Maria) and around 190 (Minwu). Just at Porom now is the levelling up in FF II meant to be this slow or am I missing a trick? I must have spent over an hour already trying to level up the party.
I actually tried FFXIII-2 yesterday and I honestly can't believe that this has fans :\ sorry but the game is just awful and it just makes me want to vomit, I mean FFXIII however bad it was, I was still able to suck it up and I actually enjoyed it to some extent later on, while I still think it is mediocre. That was not the case with XIII-2, I can't stand Serah or Noel for that matter and it just doesn't feel really interesting to me, I mean the time travel thing is one of my favorite concepts (Chrono trigger) but XIII-2 doesn't exactly have that interesting story for time travel to be sufficient to make it decent.
I felt the same way about XIII-2 that I did about X-2. That being, that I didn't really like it. It had a different feel from the first game, the mood was just ridiculous and while there were some things that I did enjoy (dress spheres were so amazing), the rest of the experience kind of overshadowed that.
