Black sheep of the series that are great actually (and why)

[SanAndreasX]

Another Zelda II stan here. That game was really good, even if I am glad they went back to top down for the series after that.

Final Fantasy 2, 8, and 12. 2 was the only NES FF I stuck with to finish.

I have a soft spot for 8. I enjoyed the junction system, and the story came out when I was starting college. I did not have a good time in high school and was nervous about going back to school.

12 is my second favorite game in the series. I enjoyed it much more than I did 10.
