in the past


This is the first RPG I played from start to finish, so there is likely some nostalgia going on here. Being the first Final Fantasy game on the SNES in the west, it really caught me up to how RPGs have grown since my experience with the original Final Fantasy.

The pixel art is great, the music is fantastic and memorable, and the story goes places you probably wouldn't expect.

Final Fantasy 4/2 is worth a play, even decades later.

Final Fantasy II (SNES) was a groundbreaking RPG for its time, ditching traditional levels in favor of a system where your characters improve based on actions in battle. The story is more mature than the first game, and the soundtrack is amazing! However, the difficulty spikes can be brutal, the leveling system is a bit of a grind, and some parts are poorly translated. Still, for any old-school RPG lover, it's worth experiencing despite its flaws.

FF4 es un juegazo. No hay otra forma de decirlo. Es un gran JRPG y uno muy cómodo de jugar. A pesar de que hay ports más modernos, la versión de SNES se juega de manera perfectamente bien y salvo creo recordar que ciertas mecánicas están eliminadas en pos de hacer el juego más accesible, se juega de maravilla sin que se sienta pesado o que le falta algo. Probablemente podría recomendar este juego para quien quisiera adentrarse en el género, pues no es muy difícil y además tiene una gran historia, personajes interesantes y entrañables, mecánicas fáciles de entendar, gameplay refinado y si quieres un mayor reto puedes conseguir las armas legendarias o las invocaciones extra (que acabo de recordar nunca conseguí a Odín.... oops). Gran, gran juego, con razón he regresado a terminarlo tantas veces.

It is a game that captures the attention in the very first minutes. Even when compared to games I consider masterpieces in the genre such as Dragon Quest III and Phantasy Star, at the time of release, FF II brought something else to the table. It's a shame that the interesting premise does not develop into something more interesting. It ends up being a very run of the mill early 90s JRPG, but it still showed what to expect from the series.

El gameplay es tan rico como el anterior y ahora se le suma una historia llena de giros de guión. Mejor que el anterior
