Story

This game was a little weird at the start. It went away from your traditional leveling system. I felt like killing a couple of monsters lead to a few extra stats here and there. The fights at the middle of the game became harder and harder until you were able to get some gear to make the game a little easier. I was glad i picked this up. The game was interesting and the story took you all over. Spoiler, everyone dies in this game. The story starts off strong, but dies down toward the end. Overall, I enjoyed my time in this game, and am glad i was able to complete it.

Pros: Good music Simple Combat (Unga Bunga) Cons: No chill in wasting the player's time. Doors that lead nowhere in every. single. dungeon. Demands intense grinding. Final party member is absolutely useless. Magic feels useless. Level up system is random and inconsistent. Insane amount of random encounters. Too much walking. You don't get airship until literally end of game.

Story

Ah Final Fantasy II. Only one other game in the fandom is as divisive within the fanbase as it. GAMEPLAY -------------- Gameplay is what hurts this review the most for me. The way that EXP is earned isnt shown in a total level for a character, but rather every character has individual levels within specific weapon types and magic. Stats are gained through combat (Using Magic attacks often will raise your INT and MP Pool, where as phsyical attacks raise strength, and taking damage raises your HP), and varies based on the difficulty of the enemies your grinding against. This means that the system can be EASILY broken right from the start with a little mindless grinding, leaving you to absolutely demolish the entirety of the game with characters having max stats from the get go. Also due to the lack of a cohesive leveling system, there's not much for character averaging, so whenever you get a new character, you'll need to attempt level them, without relying too heavily on your already Overpowered heavy hitters. Lack of class definition and anyone being able to learn literally EVERYTHING in the game can be confusing for new players, and may even lead to forgetting who has access to what spells and such, which can lead to an awful time. VISUALS ----------- The game's pretty. The enemy designs were absolutely interesting, with a plethora of new designs for Undead that I havent seen used in any other game (The floating brains in Leviathan for one). The ocassional Airship flying over while walking the worldmap is also a nice touch, breathing life into a world that otherwise might feel kinda dead. STORY --------- Considering this is a Port/Remake of a NES Game, the story IS overly simple, but has one of the coolest boss plot twists I've seen in quite some time. If you decide to look into the extended lore of the game (Told through the manga), you realize it only takes Mateus (Emperor Palamecia/Palmekia) a week to do what he does in the events leading up to Pandemonium, is rather impressive and speaks to his strength as a Main Antag in a game series loaded with memorable main antagonists. SOUNDTRACK -------------------- No matter where you go, there's always this overarching feeling of how bleak things actually are in the game's world. The Emporer has succeeded for the most part, and you're simply trying to rebel against an army made up of the Undead/Mind Controlled, and there's always a feeling of helplessness. Once you hit Castle Pandaemonium though, the theme that blasts screams of Hope amongst the despair, leading to probably one of the most memorable final dungeons in the game. All in all, if you're interested in playing Final Fantasy as a series, I do have to recommend avoiding 2 until you're a bit more familiar with the series conventions (finding information on where to go, understanding what types of enemies are weak to which spells and so on), or at least use a Walk through if you wanna try to play it.

Rating: 4/10 Time: 12:00 The Good: Story ahead of it's time, wonderful soundtrack by Nobuo Uematsu as always, smart map design The Bad: Stupid levelling system, guest character system meh and heavily improved upon in FF12 My least favourite FF of all time. If it wasn't for the levelling system I'd have enjoyed this so much more, the story is actually really good for a game that was on the NES.

It was a decent follow up to Final Fantasy I but it sucks they did away with the original battle system. I liked it towards the end of the game but didn't really know what I should do with spells and other stuff. If it wasn't for a guide I would of been struggling. Either or its FF so you may enjoy it.

Shallow story, lack of direction throughout the game. I probably spent more time going to the wrong place than playing the game. Still it has the classic Final Fantasy elements if you are looking to kill some time.

great story but way too frequent enemy encounters, cleared without ethers and got all chests except paul's stash because I cleared cyclone before visiting him. BEGGING the final fantasy team to create more than 1 battle theme because listening to that for 4 hours gets grating although I guess they expected players to play the game in 1 hour chunks back then. 17h1m

Bien en dessous du premier volet malgré quelque nouvelle fonctionnalité très intéressante ! Le Boss final c'est du grand n'importe quoi donc compté sur votre chance principalement !

2023年3月26日16:28 全実績解除済味方のゲストがストーリー進行でコロコロ入れ替わるシステム。反乱軍の導入も結構むちゃくちゃだけど、ちゃんとFFとして遊べる。ラスボスもラスボスらしいラスボスで嫌いじゃない作品。

The black sheep of the franchise for a reason, horrible maps, backtracking and its short so its padded with a lot of back and forth.

Loved playing this chapter of the Final Fantasy franchise! Wish the encounter rate wasn't as high, and I missed 1 chest out of the entire game. Otherwise, was a solid entry!
