An excellent series. I thought the original was the superior game in many respects, although that might just be because it was so fresh. Both are worth having, although story-wise it would be preferable (if not necessary) to play them in order, so I do hope that GOG are able to get their hand upon the original somehow. It's a shame that we are so unlikely to see any more games in the series.
The only thing that really disappointed me about FFvTTR (well, aside from the DRM, and the fact that Irrational didn't place it in the setting that they had previously whetted our appetites for!) was the advertising and box art, which was in quite extraordinarily poor taste with its "Axis of Evil" banner. I don't think the reference made an appearance in the game itself, although I can't remember for certain. I'm still utterly bewildered by it. The absolute very last thing I would ever want to be reminded about when playing a fun cartoony super-hero escapist fantasy game, is ugly modern-day politics and real-world death and destruction. WW2 is at least sufficiently far removed from the present that most people playing the game would not be offended by it.
