Originally hitting the stands in 1988 the Final Fantasy series has stood testament to change. Two decades and hundreds of developmental changes later the Final Fantasy II for PSP finally hits the stands. Published by Square Enix this new version and a successor to the first part of Final Fantasy, has seen the incorporation of many modifications.
The new game does away with some of the festering problems in the earlier version like the two-second load time while accessing the menu. Apart from changes in technology the developers have introduced an updated artwork of the 2D environment, better sound and introduced new characters. The Final Fantasy II PSP game’s storyline is original and in this you form a part of the four survivors who escape from the wrath of the evil emperor. Now on a quest to avenge the death of their parents and stop the merciless emperor you must face-off against his army and monsters from the demonic realm and ultimately save the planet. This re-mastered version has better graphics, updated camera angels that offer newer perspectives and a 16:9 widescreen adaptability. The word memory system is a fresh feature where you will have to memorise certain keywords said to you by the non-player characters. These words when repeated later unlock new moves and help you gain information. The only way to increase health is by taking on more shots. The character abilities increase or decrease with the change in the manner of fighting. Supposing you choose to use the axe all the time even though your strength and skill set for weapons increases your abilities with magic decrease.
The Final Fantasy II is remastered version of the old world nostalgia and is a classic role player game. However we are in the age when the PlayStation Portable world is brimming with dramatic developmental changes and engaging in new forms of gameplay the game will do little to move you unless you are a die hard fan of the franchise.
