Overhated, but enjoyable in its own flawed way. I found FF2 to be a pretty good time, the story especially was a highlight with just how dark it can get and well.. I won't spoil anything but, there's a lot of loss along the way and it's surprisingly impactful for such an older game. The leveling system isn't my favorite, but I did enjoy the rest of it and ultimately found the game easy to pick up and grind out for a couple hours here and there when I wanted. Followed along with a guide and had no issues on steam deck. I think it's worth experiencing! If anything. for the story and how many things it introduced to FF in general.

I'll be completely transparent from the beginning - while I enjoyed this game, I did not enjoy it as much as the original. The game itself added some cool new ideas which I liked in theory, notably character progression being tied to "learning by doing." The more you cast a spell, the stronger it gets, the more you use a weapon, the better you get at using it, if you use a lot of melee, your strength goes higher, if you cast a lot of magic, your MP will rise etc. I like that kind of natural character progresssion the most in games. In practice, it doesn't always work perfectly and for some spells (like the debuff clearing spells) you'll have to spend some time grinding and casting it at thin air to make them even a bit useful. Same for leveling up weapons. The biggest sin is the 4th character slot. It gets filled with different temporary characters as you advance the plot and with the exception of the first one, who acts as a bit of a crutch due to his high level magics at this stage of the game, none of them are worth investing into and it really goes agaist the natural character progression of the game and they feel more like a hindrance than a boon. Especially when it comes to the final party member, the moment he joins he's a scrub with poor weapons skills, around 1000 health, 5 measly MP and knowledge of no magic. With WHO and WHAT he is they could've at least made him as strong as the first temporary character. He'd still lag behind your main 3 at that point in the game but the gap wouldn't be as wide. The switch from blank slates to named characters made it so that they have actual characterization. It's nothing too special but I'll forgive a game that came out half a decade before I was born for not having an overly complex plot or characterization. The plot is much better than the first game and I personally liked the dungeons more too. Overall, I think it's worth playing but wait for a sale, I wouldn't pay more than $10 for FF2.

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.

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
