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.

playing every FF in order. FF2 is "the worst" FF according to many. its missing some of the charm of 1 but I do kind of like how easy it is to break the game with the stat growths and early high level enemies.

This game was a ton of ideas that sounded great on paper but executed poorly. Despite that, it's a pretty fun romp albeit a bit of a slog at times. Great music, and the basic gameplay loop expands upon that established

Just finished and I liked this one very much. In a lot of ways for me this one is a lot better than the first one. A more personal story with a slightly more interesting, if a little odd, combat system.

I respect the team for trying something new, but it was mostly for the worse. The new levelling system takes some getting used to, but it's interesting. And the game's easy enough that you can afford to experiment and

With my first Final Fantasy game under my belt, I eagerly jumped into Final Fantasy II. While it may look and feel like FF1, FF2 is a completely different beast. The pixel art is fantastic, the story is serviceable, and

One of the most divisive entries of the earlier FF games but one that also takes strides towards what the series would become in the 90's. One of the big talking points is the skill system which has changed from
