    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay in this game diverges significantly from its predecessors by removing the weapon durability mechanic, resulting in a different gameplay loop. While it features classic JRPG combat and some unique character mechanics, the overall experience is described as unexciting with minimal exploration and a lack of clear explanations for its mechanics. However, the game offers fun elements like monster evolution and is recommended for fans of the original series or new players who appreciate retro aesthetics.

    • “Fyi, this game abandons the weapon durability mechanic the previous two games had, so the gameplay loop is very different here.”
    • “Having a monster in your party that can evolve depending on the enemy you kill and eat is a very fun mechanic.”
    • “Great story(ies), great romance(s), great characters (including Indiana Jones!), great gameplay, really interesting mechanics, and delicious retro wonkiness.”
    • “This game abandons the weapon durability mechanic the previous two games had, so the gameplay loop is very different here.”
    • “The combat is very classic JRPG; the plot is minimal, most of the mechanics are unexciting, and there's almost no exploration or openness to the world.”
    • “The games are just deeply, deeply weird mechanically.”
  • story
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the games is generally regarded as good, with some entries like Final Fantasy Legend II and III offering improved narratives and character development compared to their predecessor. However, the overall focus on story varies, with some titles relying more on player experience and classic JRPG mechanics rather than a deep plot. While the games feature enjoyable characters and engaging elements, they may not satisfy those seeking a modern, plot-heavy experience.

    • “Final Fantasy Legend II improves upon the first game by offering a better story and a more concrete way to advance characters.”
    • “Final Fantasy Legend III offers an even more cohesive story and traditional RPG experience but still feels like it's building upon the groundwork laid before it.”
    • “Like most Final Fantasy titles, these three have a fantastic story, a fantastic score composed by Nobuo Uematsu, lovely sprites, and a fun unchanged color scheme from a bygone era of gaming.”
    • “It's less story-focused than the others, instead relying mainly on player experiences to provide the fun.”
    • “Don't buy it if you want full-featured, modern games with a lot of plot, writing, and graphics.”
    • “The combat is very classic JRPG, the plot is minimal, most of the mechanics are unexciting, and there's almost no exploration or openness to the world.”
  • music
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the Final Fantasy saga is widely praised, with many reviewers highlighting the outstanding 8-bit soundtracks as a standout feature that enhances the gaming experience. Nostalgia plays a significant role, as players appreciate the memorable tunes that accompany the gameplay, despite some criticisms regarding grind-heavy mechanics. Overall, the soundtrack is considered one of the best aspects of the games, contributing significantly to their charm and enjoyment.

    • “Final Fantasy Saga 2: another amazing game, the soundtrack is easily the best on the system, and the combat is super unique.”
    • “Also, the soundtrack kicks ass for being 8-bit!”
    • “Great soundtrack and plenty of nostalgia.”
    • “From the present point of view, while the graphics and music are still passable, there are some serious grindfests that take the joy away, mostly in the form of the absolutely insane encounter rate.”
    • “The key meta-feature introduced here is the ability to increase the game speed, which makes everything in-game run faster without disrupting music/sound effects.”
  • grinding
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be a mixed experience; while it starts off grindy, it balances out towards the end, offering a moderate challenge. Those who enjoy old-school JRPGs appreciate the grind and the challenging turn-based combat, though some note that the final dungeons and bosses can be particularly punishing. Overall, the enjoyment of grinding seems to depend on personal preference for challenging gameplay.

    • “But basically, the first game is grindy to start but balances out near the end, and a moderate challenge.”
    • “However, it can be a bit grindy near the end and the last few dungeons and bosses are brutal.”
    • “I remember being addicted to these grinding, punishing JRPGs.”
  • graphics
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics are characterized as greyscale pixel art, which may appeal to fans of retro aesthetics but may not satisfy those seeking modern visuals. While some players find the graphics and music acceptable, others note that the dated design and high encounter rates can detract from the overall experience. It's recommended for nostalgic players or those open to older graphics and gameplay styles.

    • “I appreciate the greyscale (or greenscale) pixel art graphics; they have a unique charm.”
    • “The graphics and music are still passable, creating a nostalgic experience for players.”
    • “I would recommend this game to anyone who played the original and wants to relive the experience, or to new players who are willing to embrace the dated graphics and gameplay.”
    • “Don't buy it if you want fully featured, modern games with a lot of plot, writing, and graphics.”
    • “From the present point of view, while the graphics and music are still passable, there are some serious grindfests that take the joy away, mostly in the form of the absolutely insane encounter rate.”
    • “Would recommend to anyone that played the original and wants to play again, or to new players willing to accept the dated graphics and gameplay.”
  • humor
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the development of *Final Fantasy II* is characterized by a playful and irreverent tone, likening the developers to anarchists engaging in whimsical experiments, which suggests a lighthearted approach to game design that diverged from the main franchise.

    • “Bomb-throwing anarchists at Squaresoft tried to change the world during the development of Final Fantasy II, after which they were sent off to sit in the corner, wear funny hats, and practice their mad experiments outside of the flagship franchise.”
