Agility does seem to affect turn order, but unlike 1 PR where having a thief/ninja in your party gives you massive amounts of pre-emptives having high agility in 2 PR doesn't seem to increase the chance. Wonder why that is. Every other one seems like there's a way to increase pre-emptives.

Does having single-digit HP have anything to do with it? Why not heal just to be on the safe side?

@@omegamaelstrom1001 Ah, I see. Thanks. I’ve never played FF2 before. I’m starting it tomorrow and I’ve been watching some videos trying to get a handle on how the stats work. So far it reminds me a lot of Contact for the DS in that way.

Out of curiosity, if you never get hit by physical attacks, how are you supposed to increase your HP? I imagine magic attacks aren't affected by the Evasion stat and instead are affected by the Magic Defense stat. So if you never get hit by physical attacks, your HP never goes down, so it never levels up and you're always at very low HP. You get hit by any spell and you're dead. It's not like you can hit yourself either since a single hit on yourself kills you too. So how is this useful?

In the Pixel Remaster (as in the GBA/PSP versions) you get automatic HP ups after ever ten battles or so. So HP would probably never be an issue. The strongest single-target enemy magic does ~500 damage, the strongest multi-target enemy magic does ~300 damage. Meanwhile, some enemies can hit you with a physical attack for over 4k damage, some enemies have instant death on hit, or otherwise nasty status effects. Most of the enemies don't have magic, so those are instant win battles. Finally, even if you're playing the NES/PSX version, you can make it through the game without a single HP gain (check out the Base HP challenge). But you probably don't want to do that unless you're insane like me.

Wait, now you punch with one hand if you have 2 shields equipped? AND IT STILL LEVELS UP THE HANDS?! That's an odd choice to make, wonder why they didn't just keep double shields doing no attack.

I think they wanted the pixel remasters to be faithful representations of the NES version, with quality of life improvements. On NES, attacking with double shields equipped would show the punching animation, but only levels up the shields. Internally the shields were classified as weapons themselves. So the difference here is that you get levels for BOTH hands and shields. The damage is as if you only equipped one shield. Weird decision indeed.

@@omegamaelstrom1001 Kinda weird that they based it off the original NES version when the biggest reason it's popular now is because of it's later ports that massively improved the game and added content. The most faithful thing they could've done is add various things from each.

Does this also work on gba/psp version?
