Customer Reviews of Final Fantasy II

M-M-M-Meteo!
Seems like there's a score of different Final Fantasy games out there these days, but despite the grandeur of FF 7, the melodrama of FF8, or the outright eyecandy of FF10, there's really no beauty like that of a simple classic. If you find yourself surrounded by people who've been playing games for a while, and the subject of Final Fantasy comes up, you'll find that most probably veer towards the new ones, especially FF 7 and 10. But if, like me, you're asked which is your favorite and you reply "Oh, I'll always love Final Fantasy II most of all", you will get respectful nods from all directions. And why not?

Final Fantasy II was a SNES game that came out in the beginning of the 90's, catering to the same crowd that was sucked into it's predecessor on the original NES. By this time RPG's were becoming more prevalent on Nintendos (owed almost entirely to the original Final Fantasy), old and new, and so Squaresoft threw this wonderful game on the US market. Unlike the first Final Fantasy this one had an actual plot, with characters that became an integral part of the story. New characters were introduced as the game played out, usually enticing you with answers to your characters' questions, but also leaving you with more questions. By the time you reached the last boss of the game you were really surprised at how much time you had put into the whole thing, and pleased with the payout.

They never made an RPG game that gave the player the "epic" feel quite like the Final Fantasy games did. I bought Final Fantasy III for my nephew about 2 years ago for PS One, and it was like a real stroll down memory lane. I can't wait to add this one to the collection! :)

First FF for the SNES was a great success!
Final Fantasy IV (called II when it was first released out of Japan for the SNES because we never got the real II and III back then) is yet another wonderful Final Fantasy. Originally released in 1991, this was the first FF for the SNES. Many great SNES Squaresoft games would follow (Secret of Mana and Final Fantasy VI (III) to name a few).

FF IV follows Cecil, a member of the Baron Red Wings. The king of Baron has been acting strange lately, and he asks Cecil to deliver a package to the town of Mist. Cecil's longtime friend Kain accompanies him. Little do they know that the package burns down the entire town, and the game takes off from there. Every character has their own skills (ex. Kain is a Dragoon, so he can Jump) like in FF VI and IX. I like the FF's where the characters have their own skills more than the Job System, although both are very good.

Music was really upgraded to SNES quality, and it doesn't disappoint. You'll find the famous FF Prelude, chocobo music, an awesome final boss theme, as well as many other wonderful tunes. They all go together with FF IV very well.

The challenge for this game isn't very tough, because this was the Easy Type released out of Japan. They had an Easy Type and a Hard Type. You can only find the Hard Type by buying FF Chronicles, which contains the original FF IV Hard Type and Chrono Trigger. Hard Type has more magic, skills, etc., and the enemies attack much more often. But still, FF IV Easy Type is a good FF to start out on if you haven't played any other FF's before. It has all the qualities that make an FF good: great story, exceptional graphics (for the time it was released), very good character development, wonderful music, and it's easy to play. If you're an FF fan and you haven't played FF IV yet, I recommend doing so quickly; it's one of the best FF's out there!

What A Change From The First One!
This game was such a drastic change from the original FF for the NES that aside from fighting the Imps on the plain I barely noticed it was a FF. They really did well with this one eventhough some of the Japanese to English translations were a bit off, but that's what gives the game its originality. The storyline is great and this game really set the standard for the following FFs to come. Although the graphics weren't that great, they were pretty good for the time. The music however was superb. It feels like there's an orchestra in your living room, especially when you go in caves. This game is a definite 'must have' and if you don't own a SNES I think they put this one on Final Fantasy Anthology for the PS (also can be played on the PS2). I think it's known as FFIV on that one.
