FINAL FANTASY II

My second ever Final Fantasy game! Not gonna lie, I was a bit worried about this game going into it as I've heard many people say this game is one of the worst in the series. Mainly because of the leveling system. But surprisingly, I didn't mind this leveling system at all. In fact, I kind of liked it. It was nice that the moves I was using the most were what was being leveled, as opposed to a bunch of random stats every time you level up like in a lot of rpgs. Some even said that in order to maximize your hp you need to attack your own party members. But I found that to be entirely unnecessary. Enemy encounters happen frequently enough and you get hit by the enemies so many times that as long as you're not toggling off random encounters too much, your hp will be perfectly leveled just playing the game normally. Was the game a bit grindy? Sure. But not anymore than your usual JRPG. Now the feature that I did end up hating was the keyword system. Mostly because I kept forgetting to hit 'learn' whenever a new keyword came up. And some keywords are missable. I forgot to learn the keyword 'Dragoon' about half way through the game, and because of that I was locked out of getting a powerful sword near the end game. Maybe a better less forgetful person wouldn't struggle so much with this feature, but I can't help but wish words would just automatically be saved instead of having to press that button every time a new keyword comes up. As for the story, it was pretty cool! I read in another review that the game was kind of like reading the cliff notes of someone's dnd campaign. And honestly they're not wrong. The characters were kind of bland. But considering the original came out in the 1980's; the amount of story they did manage to cram in there is impressive. Overall, I liked it! It was a fun adventure with a surprisingly big open world! Really finaled my fantasy!

I'm a fan of the whole series and RPGs in general, so this is definitely in my wheelhouse when it comes to gaming. There are aspects of this that I thoroughly enjoy, and parts that just really fell flat. It's worth picking up to complete the collection of the series, but is very much at the bottom of the franchise for me. Pick up on sale, play on occasion since it only takes about 15-20 hours to finish, but wouldn't be the series title I would introduce to new fans. The good: 1.) The music. I could easily listen all day to the various themes from throughout the game. If you're familiar with the sound tracks from any of the other early games in the series, FFII is just as good. 2.) The fact that you don't level up but rather grow through "action" makes this one stand out compared to most of the other games in the series and does let for a lot of customization in creating how you want each character to be. 3.) There are several repeated aspects of FF that get introduced in this one. We get to see certain monsters for the first time, attack names, and unique items. Cons: 1.) The game punishes you if you take time to grind, by nerfing your physical attacks. I was enjoying growing my characters when about halfway through the game I had to switch to only using magic since physical attacks no longer got multiple hits and felt like I was back at the beginning of the game in late game areas. 2.) The switching out of characters. That's not quite right, I'm fine with the introduction of multiple party members, and am used to the fact that characters come and go through out the other titles in the series. My issue is that with a lot of the characters you don't get the time to develop them how one may want. Then rather than introducing the next character with abilities on par with the rest of the party it constantly felt like they were lagging behind.

还是很不错的，我永远喜欢最终幻想的世界观和美术风格，这一代的地图比第一代更漂亮了，喜欢万魔殿

Another classic role playing game that's memorable. Recommended

2eme opus avec une histoire un peu plus sérieuse, personnellement j'ai bien aimé le nouveau système de niveau. Les points négatifs sont pour moi l'openworld, beaucoup trop grand avec peu de points d'intérêts et même si j'aime l'histoire, je trouve que c'est un point négatif surtout sur le fait que certains lieux deviennent inaccessibles donc pas de 100% si vous n'explorer pas chaque dialogue et chaque région. [ C'est ce qui m'est arrivé et je suis dégoutée]. Je recommande pour la découverte.

經典遊戲

De todos os ff's este é o mais diferente de longe por ideias ousadas algumas legais, outras bem ruins. Graças esta versão tem o desativador de encontros aleatórios (pq no final do jogo os bonecos são quase entidades que matam tudo de IK e as batalhas só ficam chatas mesmo). Vale a pena como passar histórico para quem quiser seguir os caminhos do meme do Mago DJ.

二代是戰鬥系統非常特別的一代 RPG遊戲裡最常見的角色等級和職業被熟練度系統所取代，在戰鬥中做的每一個動作都會讓角色成長，例如：受傷會讓血量成長、消耗魔力則是讓魔力上限提高、各種武器和法術會隨著使用的次數增加傷害。 熟練度系統因為可以很自由的選擇角色的成長方向所以我蠻喜歡的，而且每一場戰鬥多少都可以提升一些角色屬性所帶來的回饋感還不錯，但是真的太肝太花時間了，若是可以稍微降低升級熟練度所需要的時間會更好玩。
