As the story progresses, the party (which continuously rotates its fourth member due to story changes) eventually works their way up to taking out the Emperor. The party - minus one of their number, who either vanished or was kidnapped before the rest of the team woke up - is rescued by a rebel princess named Hilda who after a brief test of skill allows them to enlist in the rebel army in order to take down the Emperor.

I don’t really want to see what the game’s like in its original form, but after playing the Pixel Remaster version of FF2 through to the end, I can confirm that it takes the inherent boost features to make the game something I could finish without cursing the whole way.įinal Fantasy II is set in a world beset by the military rule of an evil emperor who at the start of the game is invading a small town and beating up its young residents for no apparent reason beyond “screw you, that’s why”. To say I’m not a fan of the Famicom Final Fantasy II is like saying my hockey team hasn’t won the Stanley Cup in a bit: it’s wildly understating the extent of the pain.
