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.

What a weird game. It was very before its own time in so many regards, plot and story structure in particular, but also, it's very hard to recommend, due to the leveling up system. While some of the QoL features in this version ease some of the grinding and weirdness, the system still feels incredibly unbalanced and, at times, a bit nonsensical. However, it is well worth playing. Yes, while the game does feel like a game of its age - with a simpler, more open structure, and a looser way of progression at times - but the plot itself is more serious and political than most games of the genre at that time. The characters are simple, but likable, and there are a lot of very memorable moments here. If remade with better systems and progression - doesn't even need levels, only a bit of rebalance - this could be a classic,

A very experimental RPG for its time but not nearly as bad as some people make it out to be. You never really need to grind, although grinding can definitely help (and if you want all the steam achievements, you'll need to grind). Realistically though, you can one-shot most regular enemies at the endgame with your weapons and spells around level 10-11 so long as you are properly equipped. If you do choose to grind though, then yes, the memes are true. Punching yourself in the face is the most effective form of grinding. Outside of this though, there's nothing too crazy going on here. Just like with FF1 and FF3 we can see several of the series' recurring staples first appear here and the story is pretty basic although I appreciate the somewhat realistic approach to warfare in their world what with double agents, needing to gather supplies to fight back, sabotage their war machines and also lots of death. We lose several named characters and entire towns over the course of the game and that just seems ambitious for an NES/Famicom game to me. Highly recommend this if you care about the roots of the FF franchise or just want to play an old RPG.

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

FINAL FANTASY II is the first in the series to give the characteristics to its protagonists. Rather than making your main characters like its predecessor, this title has given its protagonist a name, story arc, and personality. The game's strength lies in its well-crafted character arcs, surprisingly from the side characters. The system design of three main characters and a guest character for the Playable Party was also a good idea. Each guest character, except for Leonhart, had captivating story arcs that allowed players to understand their motives and kept them engaged in the game. As I said above, Leonhart's character development was a disappointment. Compared to the other characters in the FINAL FANTASY Franchise, his story arc is subpar and failed to convince me. His character transition needed to be longer. Overall, I enjoyed FINAL FANTASY II. It is a good classic that fans and first-timers can try out.
