    The second game in the series introduces a new world, new characters and something that would become a trademark of the series: innovation.

    The story focuses on the conflict between the hostile Empire of Palamecia and the rebel resistance. A small group of heroes is all that stands between the world and ruin.

    FINAL FANTASY II demonstrates the developers' willingness to push their boundaries and try new things. For example, rather than sticking to the predictable, the game features a proficiency system in which characters skill with weapons and abilities increase the more they used them.

    Fun fact: this is the FINAL FANTASY game that introduced the world to chocobos! Now that's a legacy.

    Perhaps the biggest praise I can offer of the FFII Pixel Remaster is that it seemingly fixed the accuracy of healing items when I needed them in battle. Though another feature the game “offered” was differentiation between status effects that expire at the end of the battle and ones that remain, and they have separate curative spells. Said spells still “missed”. Thankfully, this didn’t happen late enough to be a hard stop on my enjoyment of the game. If you are going to go on the Final Fantasy vision quest, definitely make sure you use the Pixel Remaster to play FFII. If thou must.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Me gustó menos que el 1, el sistema de niveles es complicado y poco claro, cuesta mucho subir de nivel las magias y armas, es muy enredado donde hay que ir. Combates buenos y música genial. Expand
