    No console release for a console game. Square should be embarrassed by making that decision

    The sprite work and music are solid for this game. I wish it was more like the PSP sprites, but redoing the GBA sprites is okay. The game plays well and is faithful to the Famicom entry.

    Please bring this and other pixel remasters to the Switch. I buy consoles to play games. Since we haven't been given a venue to express interest, this is how we can express interest.

    One of the best early Final Fantasy games, with a fun level up system, lots of party configuration (before elder scrolls did it) and a decent plot. The music is insanely good in this remaster. This is essential.

    Please bring the Final Fantasy II Pixel Remaster to Switch so that I can change this review score from a 0 to a 5.

    I was never a huge fan of ff2; however, it isn't terrible as a re pixel. If you liked the original ff2 then you'll like this one too. I would recommend if you're looking for an easy to use and faithful too the original copy of ff2.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. O jogo é divertido e faz jus ao estilo de rpg antigo. Graficamente é bem bonito para a época. Uma pena o sistema de upgrade ser muito maçante, mas isso é compensado com a história, que por mais que não seja boa, é uma boa tentativa para a época. Expand

    While the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters aren’t perfect, they’re certainly the best and most convenient ways to play these classic games. The soundtracks are lovingly orchestrated and the pixel art is gorgeous, though the latter does lose some detail in the translation. Each game feels great to play, but I do wish extra content from previous releases or remakes had been included.

    The first three Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters are a somewhat solid remastering effort that could have been so much better with a few tweaks. While the amazing rearranged soundtracks sound great and the balancing tweaks make the three games still feel great to play, the divisive overhauled visuals reminiscent of the 16-bit entries, technical issues like the lack of a V-Sync toggle and display settings not saving and lack of additional content found in prior remakes make these remasters a truly worthy purchase only for those who live and breathe Final Fantasy.

    The biggest impediment to recommending these games to others is just the fact that, well… in many ways they are slight things. None of these games are terribly long if you know what you’re doing, nor are they tremendously difficult. The stories are not super compelling on their own. They are little games in a way, and they are definitely aged. But if you loved these games before, these remasters are perfect for what they’re trying to do. They’re charming. They feel like a sudden rush of nostalgia not because they’re exactly the games you remember, but the rare form of remaster that does add some stuff on top while still preserving all of the spirit and intent perfectly. And if you’ve never played these games but want to understand why people loved them so much, these are the perfect way to try them out.
