Its really sad how inaccessible this game is, arcades are pretty much dead and both the remastered ps4 version and the og ps2 version are japan only, the only way i had to play this was on pcsx2, there was some input lag because of the emulator but it didnt make anything impossible, i beat it on easy if thats anything to go by (the game is still pretty damn tough anyway), will go for more clears. Really like the art direction on this one.
When it comes to the overall writting compared to the first game, its a massive downgrade. Possibly the earliest example you can find of the oversaturation of what has come to be known today as "millenial writting" (alot of your dialogue choices can be pretty much boiled down to being a goody two shoes, a snarky asshole for no reason, or some reference to american pop culture, the last one not even making that much sense considering your character is a tribal). However that is not to say that the overall writting in this game is bad, matter of fact i would dare to even say FO2 has some of the best world building i have ever seen in a game, each town being rich with lore and characters, each one having its own purpose and its own set of rules and culture, quests dont feel like a checkmark on your long list of chores as each one will affect the world around you immensely, its a kind of weight and purpose attached to how you interact with the game that you dont see alot of these days, and its honestly a feat how a game from 1998 managed to do all that. Incredibly ambitious. I still prefer the 1st one though >:)
