Hmm... 2 great games, with some nostalgia. Let me look at them one at a time-
FF1: For its day, this was a huge game, truely living up to the words "Final Fantasy." It had an overworld that you could get lost in, if the dungeons didn't swallow you up first! You got to have 4 characters that you could pick the classes of, really giving it a classic D&D feel. (And yes, that also ties into those annoying magic level points...) However, it was nowhere near perfect. The difficulty and spell strength was horribly uneven, and the first part of the game was rather linear. But it's a game I'd still play to this day. 7.1/10
FF2: Not quite as good as FF1, but still good. The mechanics of leveling were definitely interesting, even if they did leave a few... issues... behind. The music improved, as did the exploration aspect, but at times, it felt like running into a brick wall with an even worse difficulty curve in some areas. 6.9/10
(And yes, those are scores I give to FF games I like. There're just too many other games that I prefer to the FF series.)
