A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Phantasy Star II is pretty awesome too.
II is very good, but it does get VERY grindy right at the end.
This is true. I played it when it was new and I had fond memories of insanely grinding SMS PS1, so it seemed normal. The best thing to do is to go to Climatrol and farm Blastoids (they reproduce within a battle and you can get insane EXP by waiting for them to do that). Some weird slima-slug-somethings do that too.
Yeah, at the time it didn't seem so out of line. I guess I just feel like it hasn't held up as well against modern games as something like Chrono Trigger or FFVI.
That also shows up in the comparison between PS II and IV.... IV is way more cut-sceney, linear and streamlined with less grinding required. I guess I actually like the grinding!
