It vastly improved upon Final Fantasy I in terms of the story having a bit more going on. While not exactly having super deep characters, all of the heroes and villains you encounter were fun enough. The leveling system is a bit odd at first but it really grew on me as it lets you have a fair bit of party customization. Overall, FF2 was a fun and certainly unique experience.

The combat is fairly simple due to the age but still ended up being pretty fun, a truly classic RPG experience.
