Welcome to the complete story of Final Fantasy II, perhaps the least appreciated title in the entire mainline Final Fantasy series, both by virtue of belonging to the often overlooked first generation of Final Fantasy games and for featuring some infamously divisive levelling mechanics.

But what about the game’s story? I'm Pétur from Birds of Play and in this video I hope you'll join me as we revisit the complete story of Final Fantasy II. It's going to be a long way from here to hell and back, but I hope you'll be with us every step of the way.

    Just found this channel, but listening to the voice-over is just honey to the ears.
  • I gave up on ff2 years ago as I hated the levelling up system. This has been perfect for letting me see how the story went.
  • For anyone who struggled to get through this game, just get a Warp and Teleport tome and use them all the time. After teleport hits level 10, there’s only about 3 monsters in the game that aren’t OHKO. Other characters just have as melee fighters, the warp and teleport user can learn cure and be a white mage. Makes the game super easy, as the story is pretty awesome probably better than 5 and easily better than 3

    I am currently going through all the pixel remasters as I have never played a single final fantasy game before. These videos are really well made and an awesome way to recap what I just played through, especially since sometimes I focused more on the gameplay and getting all the loot than focusing on the story going on, lol.
  • Once again, a fantastic intro! This video light up in me the will to play FFII again. It's so unpopular among the fans, but I simply can't place it among the worsts ones... I mean, just look at the leaps in storytelling comparing to the first game... it's HUGE!
  • @aka.radstatic
    CAW! Really love this channel and the cozy FF storytelling.

    It's been a longtime. I never tried to play Final Fantasy II in my life. I think this entry is an misunderstood gem, people probably didn't fully understand it.
  • @BP-dn9nv
    If I had to pick a Final Fantasy game that needed a remake the most it'd actually be 2. Precisely because it's usually rated so low among fans makes it a perfect candidate. Not only does that mean there's plenty to improve upon but there won't be as many angry fans if they change something.
  • Brilliant summary! I loved this game so much when I was in my mid teenage years! I used to play it on my iPhone 3G in the remastered Pixelmaster version. Plenty of fun and so many fond memories with it as with the first instalment of the series, namely Final Fantasy I. Final Fantasy II is, in my humble opinion, the best possible sequel to Final Fantasy I and it's definitely worth playing... but, be careful, just as with the first game of the series, it might get very addictive! Have fun and all the best! Last but not least, thank you so much for sharing your great work here on Youtube and plenty of success with your channel in the future! 🙂

    Excellent video, just played through Final Fantasy II for the first time since playing it in my childhood, it’s a dark story… even darker if you get the context from the novelization based on the game.

    Minwu deserved better. Josef deserved better. Cid deserved better. Also Guy speaks beaver
  • @lax398
    extremely well made as usual
  • @Tenchi3
    I gotta say ever since the pixel remastered came out. I was able to put final fantasy two in the list of games that I beat in the final fantasy series. Final fantasy one, final fantasy 2, final fantasy 4, final fantasy 7, final fantasy 8, final fantasy 10 and ten 2, and final fantasy 14 are all the games are beaten. So far😊
  • @RubbleRamp
    Yeah yeah!Love your videos and storytelling. Ty for the upload.
  • @HollowDomain
    I loved this one even better than the first game. Kinda werid but the concept of leveling system was very unique to me. Many hate it but I find it good. I was way too overpowered when I got the final boss too.
  • @johnsimon8457
    There's a lot more story that's implied over what you see on the screen or in text. A neat setting can really do that for an older game. On the other hand, there's no real character progression. I guess you have to wait until FF IV for that.
  • I actually liked the leveling system in FF2 and its story wasn't terrible. Personally, I wished more games had a similar, if more enhanced and refined take on it. Plus, there was that neat 'keyword' system that let you learn more about the world when you click the highlighted word/s.
  • @JeronKuxhausen
    Loving these you should go over the complete story of Final Fantasy Tactics
  • @Crowster12781
    FF2 is flawed but if you can get a handle on the leveling system it's not terrible... And the story, especially for the time, is ambitious as hell and its great!
