A Step Forward in Story, A Mixed Bag in Gameplay Just like Final Fantasy I, I’ve played multiple remakes of this game over the years, and while it’s still a pretty basic JRPG by today’s standards, it somewhat holds up and remains enjoyable. One area where Final Fantasy II improves over its predecessor is the story. There’s more character development, a stronger narrative, and some truly memorable moments that set the stage for later Final Fantasy games. The addition of named party members with actual personalities makes the journey feel more engaging compared to the blank slate characters of Final Fantasy I. However, the gameplay systems are where it stumbles for me. The stat growth system, which replaces traditional leveling, is an interesting idea but ends up feeling clunky and inconsistent. Sometimes it works well, other times it just feels like you're fighting against the mechanics. It’s certainly unique, but I can see why later games abandoned this approach. That said, the Pixel Remaster does a great job of updating the visuals and music, just like with Final Fantasy I. The soundtrack is fantastic, and the quality-of-life improvements such as auto-battle, makes the experience smoother than older versions. Overall, while Final Fantasy II’s gameplay isn’t as solid as some later entries, it’s still worth playing for the story and historical value. If you can get past the odd leveling system, there’s still a fun and engaging RPG underneath.

This game doesn't deserve the hate it gets. This is the best version, so try it for yourself. This game is more than what it's cracked up to be, yet still has some age to it. It's game play and story are still very simple but more engaging than the first final fantasy. Please try it out and make your own opinions about it if you like this series.

What a weird game. It was very before its own time in so many regards, plot and story structure in particular, but also, it's very hard to recommend, due to the leveling up system. While some of the QoL features in this version ease some of the grinding and weirdness, the system still feels incredibly unbalanced and, at times, a bit nonsensical. However, it is well worth playing. Yes, while the game does feel like a game of its age - with a simpler, more open structure, and a looser way of progression at times - but the plot itself is more serious and political than most games of the genre at that time. The characters are simple, but likable, and there are a lot of very memorable moments here. If remade with better systems and progression - doesn't even need levels, only a bit of rebalance - this could be a classic,

a very good entry level ff game. only thing to be wary of is the leveling system being use based like the elder scrolls games and that the last boss will require a LOT of grinding. i could get thru the dungeon with some patience but the boss was just survival tbh. a gauntlet of non stop healing to stay alive while also trying to do enough damage to kill it. story isnt too complicated, but some deaths and destruction did make me audibly gasp cus i was not expecting some of the things that happened to happen lol. a solid 6-7/10 i'd say :) pickup when on sale

FINAL FANTASY II is the first in the series to give the characteristics to its protagonists. Rather than making your main characters like its predecessor, this title has given its protagonist a name, story arc, and personality. The game's strength lies in its well-crafted character arcs, surprisingly from the side characters. The system design of three main characters and a guest character for the Playable Party was also a good idea. Each guest character, except for Leonhart, had captivating story arcs that allowed players to understand their motives and kept them engaged in the game. As I said above, Leonhart's character development was a disappointment. Compared to the other characters in the FINAL FANTASY Franchise, his story arc is subpar and failed to convince me. His character transition needed to be longer. Overall, I enjoyed FINAL FANTASY II. It is a good classic that fans and first-timers can try out.
