Final Fantasy II (GBA) – FINALIS0RED!
Phew! The last boss was a tough one! Took me three attempts, but I got there in the end. The last save was standing at a little over 35 hours, bringing the cartridge total to about 60 hours. In both Final Fantasy I and in II, there was a lot more levelling, optional sub quests, and item gathering I could have done. I think I could probably have added another 15 or so hours on.
As well as that, I’ve unlocked two sub-games, one in each of the main games, where you play a few dungeons as secondary characters. I’ll do these eventually, but for now I’m all Final Fantasied out. Which is a shame really, as I managed to pick up Final Fantasy VI for the PS1 in Game the other day for three quid 🙂
So – verdict – ACEBEST cart – one of the best on the GBA. Two tips for those of you following in my footsteps, though (and I know there are at least two of you):
1) Talk to Paul before you enter the cyclone. He has some stuff which you’re going to need and you won’t be able to get it after this point.
2) Talk to the Widow in the castle where the Wyvvern was after the Wyvvern has hatched.
If you don’t do these two things, the final stages of the game will be very very difficult. Trust me.
