Game: Final Fantasy II
System: Famicom
Version: (JP) English v2.2b/Restored v1.0d

This is the longplay of the game Final Fantasy II, a role-playing game produced and distributed by Square, originally only in Japan in 1988 for the Famicom, being the second title in the Final Fantasy franchise.

With the huge and unexpected success of the first game, Square was already financially stable and sought to make a second Final Fantasy game, which now has a more elaborate story. The story is as follows: after a long period of peace, all calm ends when a great military invasion occurs promoted by the emperor of the kingdom of Palamecia, who aims to conquer all the kingdoms and, to do so, releases monstrous creatures throughout the world. A rebel army rose up in the kingdom of Flynn to thwart the Emperor's plans, but the rebel castle fell to an all-out attack by the empire. It is at this point that we meet the game's heroes: Firion, Maria, Guy and Leon, whose parents were murdered by the Palamecian army, are fleeing Fynn when they are ambushed and defeated by knights of the Empire, but are rescued by the rebels who take them to Altair. Only Leon is not found, making the quartet a trio. In this city of refugees, the heroes meet Princess Hilda, the current leader of the rebellion, who initially resists supporting the heroes, but soon becomes their ally, as well as other characters who join the main trio during the adventure.

The game had several improvements in relation to its predecessor: this time we had heroes with their own names and personalities and not "generic heroes" like in the previous game, the story is much better elaborated, and the graphics and music have also evolved. FFII also had a new style of adventure and plot progression, which involved key words said in dialogues and that should be mentioned later. Now a lot of investigation was needed, this type of script led to greater interactivity, allowing players to fully immerse themselves in the game's universe.

Its biggest difference is the character evolution system, which instead of gaining experience points, is gained through the use of weapons and skills. To gain HP, you need to take strong hits from enemies (or yourself) and to gain MP you need to use magic. The evolution system is more complex than the previous game, which leads to a greater need for grinding.

Final Fantasy II was exclusive to Japan for a long time and the West only got to know this game after the game's re-releases. The game's plot is very well developed. This was also the first game in the series in which you could fight with less than four people in the group and also to have characters come and go throughout the story, in addition to introducing Chocobos, yellow birds that, when captured, allow you to walk through parts of the map without encountering random battles, which helps you travel long distances. Even though it requires more grinding than the previous one, it is a much better game than its predecessor. The video was made by collecting all the chests in the game. I hope you like it.
