About the Game

A remodeled 2D take on the second game in the world-renowned FINAL FANTASY series! Enjoy the timeless story told through charming retro graphics. All the magic of the original, with improved ease of play.

Our epic tale begins with four young souls orphaned during the struggle between the Palamecian Empire and the rebel army. On their journey, the youths join forces with the white wizard Minwu, Prince Gordon of Kashuan, Leila the pirate, and many others. Behold the beautiful and sometimes tragic twists of fate that await you on your adventure.

FFII introduced a unique skill level system that strengthens different attributes of the characters depending on their fighting style instead of leveling up. Use the key terms you learn in conversation to unlock new information and progress in the story.

This innovative game series takes an ambitious turn in this second installment in the FINAL FANTASY series!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

■ Beautifully revived with new graphics and sound!

  • Universally updated 2D pixel graphics, including the iconic FINAL FANTASY character pixel designs created by Kazuko Shibuya, the original artist and current collaborator.
  • Beautifully rearranged soundtrack in a faithful FINAL FANTASY style, overseen by original composer Nobuo Uematsu.

■Improved gameplay!

  • Including modernized UI, auto-battle options, and more.
  • Switch the soundtrack between the rearranged version, created for the pixel remaster, or the original version, capturing the sound of the original game.
  • Now possible to switch between different fonts, including the default font and a pixel-based font based on the atmosphere of the original game.
  • Additional boost features to expand gameplay options, including switching off random encounters, compensatory HP, and adjusting weapon skill level gained multipliers between 0 and 4.
  • Dive into the world of the game with supplemental extras like the bestiary, illustration gallery, and music player.

OH MAN! I love my some sweet sweet 8bit graphics! Replaying this with 90s music in the background has taken me back to when the game was released and I played it with all my friends! Still a great play!!

Still by far the worse game out the series. Balancing and everything else is a joke. the 1st game beats this by a margin. Won't lie, it has some good improvements but the cons way out weigh the pros. That said, don't

All the same perks and issues as the FF1 remaster. Finding the Iron Giant took forever, found it on floor 7 for those grinding for it. Achievements were really grindy to complete. 7/10

Bad Trip Balancing II: Esuna XVI Boogaloo I owe an apology to FF I Pixel Remaster. While FF I even at 0.5x gains was at least an okay challenge for 1/3rd of it, with it becoming a boring auto-attack slog by the halfway

It's a fun game. The story is more complicated than the first final fantasy. We get introduced to a new changing line of characters with their own interesting stories how I wish most of them didn't have to die . If you
