    Final Fantasy 2 Dawn of Souls is truly worth the experience. If you are a huge fan of the Final Fantasy series, this game should be played by all fans, if you are a RPG fan in general but not a huge Final Fantasy fan, take this game with caution as it is actually best suited for those who have a lot of time and patience to grind.

    This is definitely one of those rather "different" final fantasy games. 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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It doesn't matter what others may say, this is an AMAZING game! The story is really good, especially for a game from like 1989 or something like that. I love the new mechanics, and how every character is the same but different. The NES version is really good, but what makes this version way better is the fact that 2 of the most unique bonus dungeons in the whole series are here, one of which might just be my favorite FF bonus dungeon of all time, that being the Arcane Labyrinth. The way you go to different floors based on what word you say and how unique each floor is mames for a great time, even if it doesn't make sense. I spent so much time here i had 3000 HP while I still had Josef! The Soul of Rebirth is great too, how you play as all the characters that died during your quest to defeat the Emperor. You even get a character that wasn't playable before in your party, Scott! I love how the castle there is like a mirror of Pandemonium, but everything is light instead of dark, and how you fight the Emperor again but the light version, it's so cool! I just love this game, even if others disagree.… Expand

    A great game with fun gameplay and a satisfying story, simple as that. I really enjoyed the leveling system, it feels like you have actual control of how your characters grow

    These complaints aside, Final Fantasy II is yet another great addition to the PSP's slowly improving library and really shows off the care and attention that Square Enix puts into its remakes. [Aug 2007, p.88]

    Ultimately, Square Enix really ought to have put this and the first game on one UMD... [Aug 2007, p.82]

    While the storyline and plot are more exciting than what we saw in the original Final Fantasy, the rest of the game is pretty damn bland, with the soundtrack being the game's one glimmering moment.
