I finished II last winter and was pleasantly surprised how well the second half played, once the initial grind had set your characters in their tracks. In fact, I would definitely call FFII the most underrated of the bunch. Stick with it! It gets much better.
I really appreciate the lore-rich and open atmosphere of FFXII, and that's the reason I'm here right now. It's hard for me to pick a favorite FF, per se, but I'll give VI the nod, with Iv, V, IX, and XII barely trailing behind. I'm hoping for some pretty nice tie-ins to the classic FF's, and they do seem to be on their way with nods like the Crystal Tower and (*groan*) the mysterious appearance of Lightning from XIII.
Look into A Song of Ice and Fire if you want a good, long read. Now, there's an epic fantasy with plenty of history and intrigue. Too bad the series is years away from a conclusion...haha.
Hope to see you around in the world (I'm settling down in Balmung)! Any ideas what kind of character you'll be bringing to the table? I'm assuming you'll at least be trying a little roleplay, since you're here? I bet we're kind of in the same boat.
