I played the first one and it was pretty good, but I hadn't played it 
back in the day and it was very old school CRPG, and never felt the need 
to play it again, or the sequel (though I do own it.)  I tend to like 
the 'create your own' supers though, like the champions TTRPG, or CoH. 
FF If I remember correctly was kind of generic american hero with some 
forgettable party NPCs (I say forgettable as I don't remember any of them.)

I will get around to some of those old game I bought there eventually, 
really I will.
