Originally released in 1988 on the Famicom, Final Fantasy 2 follows Firion, Maria, Guy, and Leon as they fight the Palamecian Empire. The Pixel Remaster (2021) rebuilds the game with updated pixel art, quality-of-life fixes, and Nobuo Uematsu's re-arranged soundtrack.
FF2 introduced many series firsts: named characters, a keyword conversation system, and proficiency-based leveling where stats grow based on actions in battle. This guide covers the full game: a 19-chapter walkthrough, all 128 bestiary entries, a trophy guide for the platinum, and a missables checklist so you don't lock yourself out of 100%. Four dungeons are one-time only, so check the missables before clearing them.
