Gran juego que he disfrutado más de lo que creía iba hacer, lo cual me extraña porque la mayoría de los cambios en las mecánicas respectos al primero sin duda van a peor, sobretodo por el sistema de magia que es simplemente nefasto. La historia me ha sorprendido para bien, obviamente con sus limitaciones pero ya se nota una mayor madurez respecto el primero. También me ha gustado su dificultad y que al menos hasta el final no te obliga a farmear, una pega sería que a partir del último tercio del juego esta dificultad consiste en tener enemigos con efectos instantáneos de muerte que te matan todo el grupo, pero por suerte no pasa muy a menudo porque lo que no es muy fustrante (menos cuando pasa que hay te acuerdas de la madre del desarrollador) Mención especial la mazmorra final, la cual es absurdamente larga y a mi al menos me hizo tener que parar para ir a farmear unas horas, sobretodo la magia que apenas la había usado durante el juego. El sistema del cuarto jugador no me gustó ya que te impide montar el grupo a tu gusto pero aún así se les pilla cariño. Gráficamente no he notado ninguna diferencia más allá de algunos diseños nuevos en los personajes m. En fin gran experiencia y ya tengo ganas de seguir con el siguiente pero de momento vamos a : Fire Emblen! Jugado la versión original de NES Ahhh y también me ha gustado que es un juego que se puede pasar sin guías ya que el juego te da las pistas necesarias, no como otros juegos como Dragón quest 2 o la partida b the The Lengend of Zelda (aunque eso no quiera decir que a veces te encalles en donde ir… sobretodo por ese punto de aterrizaje en ese maldito castillo…)

Si el eisei, mao y stalin se fusionaran en un ser se volverían este juego de mierda hijo de la grandisima puta. un rpg sin delimitaciones de zonas, es como si en pokemon en la ruta 1 te sale un ratata lvl 2 o un dragonite lvl 57 PERO ENSERIO EN QUE COJONES ESTABAN PENSANDO TIO??? ademas... porque el hechizo muerte no tiene counter play y te aparecen PERMANENTEMENTE CABALLEROS OSCUROS RANDOMS A TIRARTELO Y WIPEARTE HORAS DE GAMEPLAY????? jesucristo bendito, este juego lo usaban los **** para torturar a mi no me engañais. esto lo hizo el mossad para probar la psyche humana y hasta donde llega su paciencia. mi pregunta es... COMO TIENE UN 6 DE USER SCORE? SOIS TODOS JUDIOS INFILTRADOS O QUE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Well, it's Final Fantasy II, I finally played this franchise and I can already say that I love it, let's first talk about the graphics, I played the 20th anniversary version which is more updated for modernity, so the pixel art is very beautiful with some cool animations and some very beautiful cutscenes that surprised me, I took a look at the original and it's also beautiful, but obviously with the limitations of the time. The OST is nothing to talk about, Final Fantasy will always have awesome OSTs and this game is no exception, I like them all but my favorites are the prelude music and the "open" map music, I spent a lot of time walking around that map and the music comforted me, the story is really cool a bit cliché but still fun, the characters are great each one has their own difference and personality which makes them very memorable, even more so with what we see with some of them in the extra after the end which is a very good plot twist, and finally the most important thing is the gameplay which takes a lot from the classic JRPG but with some glaring differences, one of them is that there are simply no "levels" the whole game works by skill where each Status is a skill that you level up individually by fulfilling certain requirements, for example to level up HP you need to take damage, and it is the same for all the other Status each one with a specific requirement, you can change the formation of the characters being able to stay in front or behind, but this is kind of bad because if the character stays behind he does not take damage, therefore he does not level up Hp, so I barely used it, otherwise the gameplay is very similar to a classic jrpg. Final Fantasy II is a great jrpg, if you've played other games in the franchise and haven't played this one, go for it without fear, you won't regret it, and if you've never played it, you can start with this one too, it's not very difficult, it's very easy for beginners.

This game gets a boosted rating due to this port being the best way for one to experience this game if needed. Final Fantasy II is sincerely a mess to play, it becomes a slog after the slightest bit of grinding due to the insane mechanics that leveling carries here. I cannot say much either for the Dawn of Souls content which lets you control random characters that join and leave your party quickly in the main quest... Which means they and by extension you are woefully unprepared to even attempt this second quest.

I like Final Fantasy II, and I’m sure it’s because of the skill based system. The story is promising from such an old fossil ****, but nothing compared to later entries. In the end, it feels exactly like a step up from the original, but not exactly a classic like the original. Souls of Rebirth is also a nice addition to FFII, expanding upon its universe, but in the end it just comes out like a bad hand in poker.

worth it and glad to play ti this game again. so much memories and nostalgia within this second game in the series.

A great game with fun gameplay and a satisfying story, simple as that. I really enjoyed the leveling system, it feels like you have actual control of how your characters grow

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

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

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

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

*taps desk while sighing heavily* So Final Fantasy 2 supposedly the only Final Fantasy game in existence to be considered worse then Final Fantasy **** I agree with **** but is it my favorite game ever ....again NO But why well let's find out First off the good: 1.Graphics just like FF1 the sprite work is SUPERB **** Music BY GOD THIS SOUNDTRACK IS SOOOOOO GOOD **** Story is a different departure THEN THE BAD: 1. Completley backwords character development system FOr example to raise your agility and HP you need to take damage understandable right YES But basic mooks don't deal a hole lot of damage which means *builds up screaming voice* YOU HAVE TO BEAT UP YOUR OWN FRIGGING PARTY MEMBERS TO INCREASE THEIR HP UGGGGHHHHHHH 2. The bonus dungeons are open from the very beginning and are centered around the key phrases you know at the time (which are only 3 making it unwinnable as of now) Even better due to the way the entrances are placed on the overworld map you'd think "oh to get through to the other side of the mountain I just go through here fight some mooks and be on my way" NO YOUR WRONG when in fact the real way to go is just slightly to the left 3.TEDIOUS GRINDING now this is another common complaint that I do and don't agree with due to the level up system there is so much grinding it puts FF5 and FF8 to shame ALl in all this game isn't horrid but it's not amazing either but I still had a good time with it so you know go ahead and buy it you might like it yourself NORMAL SCORE: 6.0/10.0 METACRITIC SCORE(If I could give an official one): 66/100

This is definitely one of those rather "different" final fantasy games. This game probably plays more like the saga series, but with a linear storyline that most final fantasy games come with. There's a couple additions that add some new flavor to the game but for the most part not much has changed from the gba version.

Final Fantasy II is an enhanced remake of the original Final Fantasy II on the NES and the 2nd Final Fantasy on the PSP system. Story: The story starts with 4 friends (Firion, Maria, Guy, Leon) being hunted by the Palamecian Emperor and getting nearly slaughtered, while barely escaping with their lives, they wake up in the house of the resistance with only Maria's brother Leon missing, the story starts from here on out, trying to thwart the Emperor and toppling him. Gameplay: The game plays like any other Final Fantasy, running around in towns talking to people gets you information while traversing the overworld or some of the many dungeons gets you into fights with monsters, a feature not seen in any other Final Fantasy game however is the level-up system, in my opinion a pain in the back... The system works by increasing whatever you're using the most, say you attack a lot, then your Strength/Weapon Proficiency go up, if you cast Blizzard a lot, your MP/Intelligence/Blizzard spell will go up, etc etc... the problem with this system is that you'll need a lot of grinding getting your characters where you want them to be, fun for some, not so much for others... There's also a new kind of conversation system, where someone would say something important (marked in red) and as a response you can "Learn" that keyword, later asking other characters about this keyword, in turn they might provide you another one, some keywords progress the story or give answers to plot questions. Last but not least, there is some extra content in the Shrine of Souls and the Arcane Labyrinth. Controls: Everything you expect from a first generation Final Fantasy game, movement is mapped to the D-Pad and the Analog stick does nothing as do the shoulder buttons on their own, however if you press R1 O you open the world map, triangle opens the menu and X usually gets you talking or has you inputting commands while O cancels stuff. I do kinda regret you cannot walk diagonally, I'm assuming it was too much of a hassle to change from the original NES version Graphics: The graphics have gotten a much improved bump from the original and a crispier look then the PS1/GBA versions, all characters have their own distinct look, the overworld looks a lot better and everything just looks right! Music: Another bump in the music department, from the NES version it's a big step, from the PS1/GBA version, it's kinda the same music but better quality, the tracks from Nobuo Uematsu are as strong as ever and come to life with the better quality, there's even some added tracks not found in the original NES version. Positives: + Battles are fun typical FF style. + The music has gotten even better with the enhanced treatment. + The game looks better then ever! + Extra content Negatives: - The level-up system is horrendous... - Barebones story, I know this is just the story from the NES, but extra narrative would be nice. Conclusion: Worth a play as a Final Fantasy fan, but surely the weakest of the main series, while Firion and the Emperor are strong characters to keep you going, for me the flaws of the leveling system overweighs all.

This is another case of a definitive version of a Final Fantasy classic game, much like the PSP rerelease of FF1 (and FF4, which came out recently). The game looks great and improves upon the original version in every way needed. This Final Fantasy is also interesting in that the leveling up is completely unique and different from what is standard in RPGs and Final Fantasys alike. Instead of gaining overall experience points and gaining a level after a specific amount has been obtained, the player improves based on what they are using (ie: your hit points increase if you get hit, your strength goes up if you attack, etc). This can be frustrating, especially when you are given a new 4th party member repeatedly who is vastly behind the curve. This is a unique title that is worth a look but might not be for everyone. Thankfully, the difficulty has been scaled back slightly to make things both more accessible and more fun.

Final Fantasy 2 Dawn of Souls is truly worth the experience. If you are a huge fan of the Final Fantasy series, this game should be played by all fans, if you are a RPG fan in general but not a huge Final Fantasy fan, take this game with caution as it is actually best suited for those who have a lot of time and patience to grind.
