Review: Final Fantasy Origins/Final Fantasy 2
The only things worse than this game in the world of Final Fantasy is it’s older sister, Final Fantasy X-2, the train wreck that left millions on fire, running for something that made sense again and getting hit a second time by that steam engine before falling off a cliff into the abyss of bad games.
