The Complete Story of Final Fantasy II
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 вер 2022
- Welcome to the complete story of Final Fantasy II, perhaps the least appreciated title in the entire mainline Final Fantasy series, both by virtue of belonging to the often overlooked first generation of Final Fantasy games and for featuring some infamously divisive levelling mechanics.
But what about the game’s story? I'm Pétur from Birds of Play and in this video I hope you'll join me as we revisit the complete story of Final Fantasy II. It's going to be a long way from here to hell and back, but I hope you'll be with us every step of the way.

I gave up on ff2 years ago as I hated the levelling up system. This has been perfect for letting me see how the story went.
Glad you like it! I imagine there's a lot of people in the same boat who haven't finished (or even played) Final Fantasy II, so hopefully this video can help fill in some blanks!
I used to ape on a fantasy too as well even though I thought the leveling system was interesting. Pixel remastered fixed all the issues that I had with this game and I was able to come back and beat it as a overpowered beast.
Pixar remasters a little bit bearable
way with the pixel remaster
Just found this channel, but listening to the voice-over is just honey to the ears.
Welcome to the channel! Take all the honey you want!
For anyone who struggled to get through this game, just get a Warp and Teleport tome and use them all the time. After teleport hits level 10, there’s only about 3 monsters in the game that aren’t OHKO. Other characters just have as melee fighters, the warp and teleport user can learn cure and be a white mage. Makes the game super easy, as the story is pretty awesome probably better than 5 and easily better than 3
It's been a longtime.
I never tried to play Final Fantasy II in my life.
I think this entry is an misunderstood gem, people probably didn't fully understand it.
I am currently going through all the pixel remasters as I have never played a single final fantasy game before. These videos are really well made and an awesome way to recap what I just played through, especially since sometimes I focused more on the gameplay and getting all the loot than focusing on the story going on, lol.
If I had to pick a Final Fantasy game that needed a remake the most it'd actually be 2. Precisely because it's usually rated so low among fans makes it a perfect candidate. Not only does that mean there's plenty to improve upon but there won't be as many angry fans if they change something.
Yes..I really hope for the remake..it will be an amazing ride in hd
FFII has a deep and great story..
and I also hope that maybe they will make a sequel or a spinoff.. can square enix give some attention to this gem?
Once again, a fantastic intro! This video light up in me the will to play FFII again. It's so unpopular among the fans, but I simply can't place it among the worsts ones... I mean, just look at the leaps in storytelling comparing to the first game... it's HUGE!
Aside from XI this was the last mainline Final Fantasy I played. Haven't developed thoughts on how I would rank it but I feel like there is a lot to love. Might have to do a review...
Excellent video, just played through Final Fantasy II for the first time since playing it in my childhood, it’s a dark story… even darker if you get the context from the novelization based on the game.
CAW! Really love this channel and the cozy FF storytelling.
Glad you like it! Working on getting retellings of all the mainline Final Fantasy titles up on the channel!
I played Final Fantasy 1 and 2 on the Gameboy back in the day. I barely remember anything about it, so this was a lot of fun for me.
I had really hoped you would explain the complete version, though, where the dead heroes had to fight through heaven to destroy the aspect of the Emperor who had conquered that plain of existence as well.
Only with the destruction of both versions of the Emperor could the world be saved.
FF2 was definitely the hardest game in the series, imo. The characters who died were vastly under leveled for the dungeon they are thrown into, making that part of the game an endless series of game overs until you could grind them up to usefulness.
FF1's fight against Chaos, though, was definitely one of the hardest non-optional bosses in the entire series, though.
Yeah yeah!Love your videos and storytelling. Ty for the upload.
extremely well made as usual
Thanks! I think it turned out pretty good!
Brilliant summary! I loved this game so much when I was in my mid teenage years! I used to play it on my iPhone 3G in the remastered Pixelmaster version. Plenty of fun and so many fond memories with it as with the first instalment of the series, namely Final Fantasy I. Final Fantasy II is, in my humble opinion, the best possible sequel to Final Fantasy I and it's definitely worth playing... but, be careful, just as with the first game of the series, it might get very addictive! Have fun and all the best! Last but not least, thank you so much for sharing your great work here on UA-cam and plenty of success with your channel in the future! 🙂
Thanks so much! Our next video is going to be the complete story of Final Fantasy III, just in case you're interested! But yeah, Final Fantasy II is definitely an underrated gem!
@@BirdsOfPlay Wow, amazing! I will definitely watch it when it will come out! I always wanted to play Final Fantasy III as well! Yet another great masterpiece in the series! All the best and have an excellent day! Keep up the good work and plenty of success!
I gotta say ever since the pixel remastered came out. I was able to put final fantasy two in the list of games that I beat in the final fantasy series. Final fantasy one, final fantasy 2, final fantasy 4, final fantasy 7, final fantasy 8, final fantasy 10 and ten 2, and final fantasy 14 are all the games are beaten. So far😊
Love it! Keep going!
I loved this one even better than the first game. Kinda werid but the concept of leveling system was very unique to me. Many hate it but I find it good. I was way too overpowered when I got the final boss too.
Loving these you should go over the complete story of Final Fantasy Tactics
Definitely on the list! Thanks for watching! Glad you like these videos!
There's a lot more story that's implied over what you see on the screen or in text. A neat setting can really do that for an older game. On the other hand, there's no real character progression. I guess you have to wait until FF IV for that.
Minwu deserved better.
Josef deserved better.
Cid deserved better.
Also Guy speaks beaver
FF2 is flawed but if you can get a handle on the leveling system it's not terrible...
And the story, especially for the time, is ambitious as hell and its great!
Agreed!
I actually liked the leveling system in FF2 and its story wasn't terrible. Personally, I wished more games had a similar, if more enhanced and refined take on it.
Plus, there was that neat 'keyword' system that let you learn more about the world when you click the highlighted word/s.
I would love to see an actual expanded remake of the game. Modern, buy with the same fundamentals. Same way of leveling, in concept at least
@@jimmyrolls37
Right?
This deserves a much better view count, lovely video!
Everyone! Llisten to the man with the long nose! This time he speaks the truth!
Great video. btw I ❤ your voice!
We love your comment!
This was my introduction to final fantasy so long ago now. I was barely six when my uncle let me play it then before he devoted his time to the navy. Wanna know whats funny compared to then? This is more than capable to have a sequel if they want now since the franchise has come a very long way.
Got back to playing ff2 after a while, and my memory was a bit hazy on the story. Thank you so much for this recap!
Glad we could help! Thanks for watching
I enjoyed the game very much tbh lol I think ff5 is the most underrated. Every other had a remake except 5 and 6 but 6 gets more talk than 5
A great game with a great story. FF is not always a focus on magic, monsters and gods, they are simply "parts of the bigger picture". FF16 is a nice throwback to this type of story telling.
This was my 5th FF from the main series. I started from 7 to 9 then 1-6. 1&2 is pretty short. I actually liked 2. It destroyed my style of play (levelling up to OP through the game) because I didn't know who's staying and who's dying. I made the effort, then the character just leaves or dies. Fck. I'm glad we actually have a solid paladin through Cecil because I really liked Minwu. I really thought Minwu/Ricard were staying until the end. They had the main character vibe. Story and character development was a big step up from 1.
I like this story. Thanks for sharing (and watching)! 😊
Can you do a video of Chrono Cross?
The music is so nostalgic
Final Fantasy II has some great music! There just isn't a lot of it since the soundtrack is so short.
@@BirdsOfPlay your narration while the Rebel's theme is being played on the background adds more depth
pls make a complete story vid for world of final fantasy
Thank you cause I don't want to start the game over. I took a month away of the game.
Glad to be of help!
Dude, your voice is epic!
And leaving a comment like this is an epic thing to do! I'm sure the UA-cam algorithm loves words like "epic"! Thanks for helping us out!
@@BirdsOfPlay Epic is as epic does!
That's EPIC!
He sounds like the narrator that every movie has. It's cool
I still can't believe the emperor took over both heaven and hell
I am here watching this video because I missed the keyword airship before giving the mythril to the blacksmith and it basically locked me out of progression. 5 hours down the drain. So triggered by it because I had to restart. As I restarted I said screw it Ill watch a video about it. So here I am.
music at 1:05?
Will you work on the complete story for the Tales of Game Series?
It's definitely something we would be open to and would like to do, although don't have any concrete plans at the moment! Maybe when we're finished with all the major Final Fantasy games.
@Birds of Play ok great thanks!
What was so different about the leveling system ? Sorry not sure if you said in the intro
No experience points. No classes. No jobs. The more you use a sword, the more effective you are with a sword. The more you cast fire, the more powerful the spell. The more damage you take, the higher your endurance and hp pools grow. It wasn't fine tuned and had issues, but it was ambitious as hell.
When is FF3 coming??
Wait...WAIT!.....All this was originally on a Nintendo cartridge back in the day? .....woah
Thank you for the informative video! Keep up this good work!😁👍🏻
The game might have its flaws but its story is undeniably ambitious!
I played this in my psp before but I didn't finish the game too bad😔
Psp version is the best version. The PR does have all the cheats, but the psp version was gorgeous, sounded great, and was the most balanced version without cheats. If only it has the music from PR
@@jimmyrolls37 what's the name of it's unique weapon?
Took me 6 months but I beat this game lol
Congratulations! I think it's a game that relatively few Final Fantasy fans have truly experienced.
Came to recap before every play thru of FF theatrhythm stories lol
As much as the gameplay in FFII sucks, I do legitimately love the story.
The least appreciated game in the series...and yet possibly my favorite
5:13 Hihihi boobie!
This game is not bad at all, even if I did PSP version not original one. The worst FF is by far 13....
