I just beat FF2us, a.k.a. Final Fantasy IV. The one with the bad translation and all that. The game is cheesier than I remember it (although part of the reason that FF is cheesy is that it helped create a lot of the cliches in the first place).
But I'd have to say that the most absurd thing in the game (spoilers ahoy) is Cid's sacrifice to seal up the underground in order to protect the Enterprise (and perhaps the upper world in general), with a bomb. It seems like a silly idea in the first place, probably one that had an absurdly low chance of working, yet he was willing to sacrifice his life for it. Then he jumps off the Enterprise way up in the air and detonates the bomb. And we find that, not only does the plan miraculously work, he survives, with pretty much no explanation. WTF.
BTW, I'd also found out late in the game that one of my characters had her bow equipped in the wrong hand for a long time. Why doesn't the damn game just automatically put it in the correct hand? There's no advantage to putting the bow in the wrong hand, and it's hard to notice when you do it, so the game shouldn't even give you the option.
But oh well. On the whole, the experience was alright. It's not a fantastic game (I'm sure it was much more of one back in the day), but I don't really regret playing through it. Though I do regret having quit back when I got very close to the end of the game a few years ago; if I'd just gone ahead and finished the game, I wouldn't have had to spend 22 or so hours playing it again. :P
