She's a late game character, she's alright though she's still the worst of the three Master Monks the game gives you. And there's plenty of good waifus in the game.

Both games have little issues. SF2 goes through a phase fairly early on where you're just battling random dudes with no rhyme or reason to them. Why am I being mugged by random monsters on the way to Hobgoblin Cave? SF1 has the decency to make single battle get you one step closer to putting the boots to Dark Dragon. SF2 has a lot of the natural upgrades you'd expect to see in a sequel like the 'cutscenes', but there's fat that could have been trimmed.

As for the final fight, I don't agree. The buildup to the final fight wasn't quite there in SF2 and King Galam just didn't feel right as the preceding man given the lack of buildup for him to boot. Odd Eye would have worked better as the last man before Zeon as the last loyal soldier. You didn't even know Galam was alive at the time. Whereas Darksol has been flipping you two fingers the whole game and I was certainly eager to kick his fucking head in when the opportunity came. And to top it off, he pulls a Khan 'From hell's heart I stab at thee' on his way out. You know what King Galam does? Absolutely nothing by comparison. Bitches he hasn't got enough power then gets eaten.

On the subject of 'SF1 did it better', SF2 didn't have as many 'weird' characters as SF1 did. Guntz, Domingo, and Alef being standouts on that front. SF2 removed a bunch of classes and then made each class only practiced by one race. All the wizards are elves, the only playable human is a swordsman...

What I expect he means is there are battles that don't progress the story. You know the battles at the beginning of Parmecia against goblins and witches and shit? Filler. If they weren't there, you wouldn't have missed anything. Shining Force 1, there's always a story reason for the fight. I still love 2, but there's quite a few filler fights.
