After never being released in the United States in original form, Final Fantasy's second installment is being released for the second time to American audiences this summer for the Sony PlayStation Portable. So what distinguishes this Final Fantasy II from the one that shipped with Final Fantasy the First for the GBA?
This game had some great things for the series. It had a little more story than the first game and it changed and added a few things. It’s good for gamers who love turn based rpgs and older games.
Final Fantasy Union: "In a franchise nearly thirty years old, there are bound to be some black sheep. Every series established in the 8-bit days has made some missteps along the way, and Final Fantasy is no exception. There are certain entries in the main series that earn eye rolls or dismissive waves whenever they’re mentioned, but do these games really deserve the harsh treatment they now receive? Are they really such poorly designed blemishes upon the critical reputation of our beloved series? Or are their flaws being exaggerated, a better handle with which to drag less successful games through the mud?"
PixlBit | Final Fantasy is 25 years old! With Square Enix celebrating all year long through various events, game releases, and products, we decided it was the perfect time to take a look at the RPG franchise that brought us moogles, chocobos, and spoony bards. Considering that each major console generation has had three games released for it, we’ll be breaking down the entire series from I-XIV. Enjoy our first installment with The Famicom Years!
