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.… Expand

This game is something of a rip off to buy at the shop, telling us that Square Enix is getting greedy. A better idea would be to sell a 2-disc set along with the original game, or even better put both games on one disc! Beside all this if you get over the simplicity of the game it is a great one for the road with minimal loding time… Expand

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.… Expand

   My first impressions of this game were that the story actually existed this time, and the experience system was changed, as in it was gone.My first impressions of this game were that the story actually existed this time, and the experience system was changed, as in it was gone. There isn't XP this time, it's a weirder system that works, but you have to get used to it. A lot of reviewers score this game lower than other RPGs because of it, but I don't think it's that big of an issue. In contrast to the first game, Final Fantasy II is a lot easier. I beat the end boss on my first try, so obviously I didn't have much grinding to do and that was refreshing. I can't say that everyone's going to enjoy FFII, but I think it's worth a shot if you want to take a look at the evolution of the RPG.… Expand

   *taps desk while sighing heavily* So Final Fantasy 2 supposedly the only Final Fantasy game in existence to be considered worse then Final*taps desk while sighing heavily* So Final Fantasy 2 supposedly the only Final Fantasy game in existence to be considered worse then Final Fantasy 13...do I agree with that...NO 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
   2.The Music BY GOD THIS SOUNDTRACK IS SOOOOOO GOOD
   3.The 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… Expand
