Why Final Fantasy 2 Deserves Your Love (And Chocobos!)
One unique aspect of Final Fantasy II that gets a lot of praise from fans is its groundbreaking character development system. Instead of the traditional Experience Points (XP) model used in its predecessor, FFII has characters learn skills based on their actual use. This means characters tend to master abilities they frequently employ. As one fan succinctly stated, “I enjoy the leveling system so much that I really miss it when I play other FF games.” This shared sentiment among users underscores how a more personalized growth process can foster emotional bonds with characters, especially during tragic moments. The rotating party member who can die or be incapacitated adds an extra challenge, making every fight feel significant. Players appreciate this system because it forces them to consistently strategize and adapt to new situations.
