My next stop in my Final Fantasy journey takes me to FF2. FF2 was a really fun game that was very similar to the first game, but it added some good features and other mechanics that added to the overall experience. For starters, FF2 has a more laid out story and characters, which was cool to see as FF1 really did not have that them, I really like how FF2 has the learn, ask and key items you can use when talking to important NPCs around the world. It gave the game a more linear focused story and adventure which I enjoyed alot. I also liked the change to the weapon level up, as well as the additional to more weapons that you can use in combat. The one aspect I was not the biggest fan of but it was not a detriment was how spells were done. I do like how spells all start at level 1 and you level them up by using them more, but I was not the biggest fan of how really any character could use spells. I liked in the first Final Fantasy, as well as other games, that certain party members are certain classes/jobs/roles, as I felt it gave each character a specific purpose. It is not something I dislike, but I did not love the change. Overall, Final Fantasy 2 is a good game and a improvement to the first Final Fantasy. The vast majority of the changes they made, like the more in depth story and characters, as well as most of the combat was a nice change. It was cool to see the difference and jump from the first game to the second, and I do recommend this game as it was just as fun as the first game is. 7/10

This game does not get nearly enough respect for being one of the most unique and interesting games in the series. It was the first Final Fantasy I ever beat as a kid all the way back on the Game Boy Advance and it is just as much fun as I remember, maybe even more now that I better understand the stat system. The story is one of the best in the series, and I will hear no arguments. If I have any issues with the Pixel Remaster version, it is that it lacks the additional content from other remakes. For that reason, I'd hardly call this a definitive version, but if you want to see a classic in its purest form, you can't go wrong.

While Final Fantasy II is often considered the black sheep of the series, the Pixel Remaster is by far the best way to experience this ambitious sequel. It's a fascinating oddity for JRPG fans. The biggest leap from the original is the story. Instead of generic heroes, you follow the named protagonists Firion, Maria, and Guy, a group of rebels fighting an empire in a much darker and more tragic plot. This gives the game a unique, dramatic identity. Presentation-wise, the Pixel Remaster is top-notch. The revamped soundtrack is a standout, featuring stunning orchestral and chamber music arrangements by original composer Nobuo Uematsu. The visual updates are also lovely and make exploring its quirky world a joy. However, FFII is a game you love despite its mechanics. Its infamous leveling system is completely different from any other game in the series: stats and weapon skills increase based on individual actions in battle, not experience points. This "activity-based" system is controversial and can be opaque, feeling less satisfying than standard leveling. The overall experience can also feel uneven, with a few odd difficulty spikes and some pacing issues that may lead to aimless wandering. Overall, Final Fantasy II Pixel Remaster is recommended for series completionists and those interested in JRPG history. Don't expect it to become your new favorite, but approach it as a bold and creative experiment.

Final Fantasy II is one of the more unique entries in the series, but it’s also one of the more divisive. It tries a lot of new ideas, but not all of them work well. The gameplay stands out because of its leveling system. Instead of traditional leveling, your stats improve based on how you play. While this is interesting, it can feel confusing and even frustrating at times. The story is a step up from the first game, with more focus on characters and a darker tone. It helps make the game feel more engaging, even if it’s still fairly simple compared to later entries. However, the progression system can feel unbalanced. It’s easy to accidentally make your characters weaker or grind in ways that don’t feel rewarding, which can take away from the overall experience. Overall, Final Fantasy II is an experimental game that deserves some credit for trying new ideas, but it doesn’t always succeed in execution. Gameplay: 7/10 Good | Overall: 7/10 Good
