FF2 is such an underrated game. Its story, as simple as it is, deserves to be told, and I'm glad there are videos like this that do just that.

Aerith was also a lot more developed as a character by the point of her death, adding to the significance. This game was just a "Oh look, my latest temporary companion died again. Wonder who's the replacement now?" loop.

Tei Sure, I agree. I think it was a more significant death than the ones in this game. (Though I took the death in FFV pretty hard. Lol) However; My issue is there's people that think Aerith was the FIRST death in a Final Fantasy game, which is false. It wouldn't grind my gears if it were only regular people but I've read reviews from actual websites and a magazine (one) that stated it was an important moment because it was the first death of a party member in Final Fantasy. As a longtime fan, that was blasphemous. Lol
@LolDongs69

I did start on ff7, fell in love with the franchise from there and went back to replay the translated japanese roms of the earlier games when I had a PC. So order of playing may have added more significant to Aerith for me personally. But yeah, she totally wasn't the first death in the franchise regardless of how much focus/importance the game put on it. People who haven't played, or even know about, a franchise shouldn't be pretending to be experts on it I definitely agree with you there! I haven't read those reviews, or i'd of raged out in their comments and lost a lot of respect for their editors.
I am a fan mr. Onimage. I listen to your videos while working and most of the games that you do a recapitation are my kind of games. Please keep it up. I know gamers like us will always find their way to your videos and appreciate your efforts ♡

@@Wil-vd2mc yeah I'm currently replaying these games. and I'm in the 7th one right now. And FF II, I think is a really underrated game in the series.
I remember the black and white masks took me forever to get. The dungeons were confusingly maze-like and incredibly long (in terms of number of random encounters). Or maybe it's just me.
The first two game stories aren't anything to write home about. But FF2 does a really great job at setting up conflicts since the story is focused on the battles that span the continents. I just wish we saw more of Emperor Palamecia. He only had two or three scenes in this game, and it kinda hurts his oppressive stature as this evil figure who desires nothing but ruling the world.
10:50 The Hilda they rescued from the Warship was a WHAT?

To be fair, "crushed under the might of Ultima" (around the 15:25 mark), I believe the original version of FF2 has a bug purposely put in it as sort of a gag that made Ultima an overall underwhelming and weak spell compared to the remakes (where said bug was removed).
15:26 sounds like Pokemon music
The advanced remake makes leveling up/ getting stronger easier... So I trained a lot where some of the easy bosses are just common enemies elsewhere and it was easy. I guess some people had max stats before reaching the Emperor (first fight) though ^^; I do like the additional game to explain what becomes of the fallen heroes though :D I also see a lot of influence or callbacks in the classic games that are found in the mobile game Final Fantasy Brave Exvius :P
I see a pattern between the two games, let's watch more and see if it keeps going
I played the TES series. It was inspired by FFII level system.
6:45 Vietery!
But Leon never explain why he joined the empire? And then he suddenly on side with Fynn. What was his motive? That was a black part in this story. To be the ruler of the world?. I still don't get it. Overall this game is superb and I had a good time playing it.

Lol. It's so weird that the 2nd installment had a more RPG-like at least somewhat multi-choice dialogue system, and like even part 15 doesn't.
I get that the battle mechanics and level design suck, but I mean, I kinda like the game. The story is surprisingly mature for an NES title, and becoming god after like 20 minutes of grinding is pretty fun, ngl.

@@akeyrtainment8507 I would love to see a full on proper remake similar to what was done with 7. FF2 felt like reading a first draft script of what could become a great film. Take the opening scene of the heroes being chased through the forest by evil solders on horse back, in the original game this looks pretty crap, just a basic forest back drop and four pictures of guys on horses but with modern production values this would make an epic moment. The whole game has these moments that don't look special but if they were worked on would really surprise people.
