Final Fantasy II

It feels much more fun and fresh than its predecessor. [Aug 2007, p.83]

A wonderful little game that is a must buy for any Final Fantasy fanatic. The revamped graphics, sounds, story, and additional content make the game a valuable addition to your PSP.

It's old-fashioned, but definitely worth playing for a little bit. [May 2008, p.79]

As much as I enjoy all things Final Fantasy, I find it hard to recommend this version of the game. It has already been released on two other consoles, and the game play has not been changed at all.

If you’re a serious fan of Final Fantasy and have somehow yet to play the second installment, this is a fairly solid re-make that will at least bolster your appreciation for the series’ roots.

It’s still taking the piss though, and Square Enix should be ashamed of themselves for being so lazy and cheeky. Twenty pounds each? Piss off.

Final Fantasy II was a poor videogame in 1988 and no amount of spit and polish will perform the necessary shifts to its foundations to produce a good one in 2007.

Bel livello di difficoltà e trama carina ! Anche i **** sono ben fatti !non male !

Completion: - Finished all content besides from the optional dungeon. Pros: - Gorgeous sprite art - Another great Uematsu soundtrack, though less memorable than much of his other work with the series - QoL improvements are substantial and improve the flow of the game greatly. The ability to save anywhere and the streamlining of movement/combat options is much appreciated. - Much improved level design over the first game, especially with the final dungeon. It is significantly less frustrating, although I do not know if that is simply a result of adjustments in the remake. - Extremely ambitious plot for a game that was originally for the NES. While today it seems like nothing to call home about, when compared to its console contemporaries, FFII is quite substantial in its narrative. - Dialogue system is interesting and far exceeds other JRPGs of the time, despite its relative simplicity. Cons: - Obtuse leveling system that makes progression feel underwhelming. The "subtlety" of it also causes your various party members to feel rather similar to each other. No one is locked off from any equipment or abilities at any point in the game, which takes away much of the personality behind having a "mage", "fighter", or anything of the like. This is definitely my biggest gripe with the game and the whole experience is less rewarding because of it. - Forgettable characters. FFI allowed you to create your own characters, which created a deeper connection with them simply as a result of player agency. However, FFII gives you a set of party members with preset identities and personalities that ultimately feel bland and uninteresting. - Economy is awful and you get way too much money, even compared to other games in the series - Spell system is perhaps the worst in the series, mainly for the reasons discussed in the first point. Having to cast your spells repeatedly in order to make them stronger sounds good in theory, but in practice it manifests as even more repetitive grinding. - Your fourth party member often feels like a throwaway meat shield True Score: 7.3

El juego intenta ser diferente al FF original, y lo consigue... Pero para mal. Para empezar, no hay EXP, y tienes que subir todas tus stats "una por una" realizando diferentes acciones en el combate. En teoria no suena mal, sin embargo, el juego no tiene ningún tipo de balance, y, o llegas a la mazmorra de turno ultra chetado, o te mataran en segundos. La historia y los personajes tampoco es que sean muy memorables, y la banda sonora tiene algunas canciones muy buenas como la del mundo abierto, la del combate o la batalla final, pero en general es un ost bastante normalito. En general es un juego bastante mediocre y uno de los puntos flojos de la franquicia. 4/10
