When you speak to other characters and important words or phrases are uttered, you need to tap a button to learn it. Final Fantasy II also uses an awkward learning system. What? I have to let myself get hammered to become stronger, which in turn places me in risk of just getting killed outright? No, you can turn this system on its head and just injure each other to raise stamina. The less you use something, the lower your proficiency with it. Instead of amassing general experience, the proficiency system improves your aptitude with a weapon, magic, or skill the more you use it. I admire Final Fantasy II's attempt to break outside the traditional leveling up mechanic of most RPGs even if I don't necessarily like it. If you downloaded Final Fantasy I and found its story lacking, there is a little more drive to this sequel. On your journey, you must bring down a giant airship called the Dreadnought, help the last surviving dragon, and enter a hellish underworld. You are in search of Leon, a hero with a dark core seen in the opening scene. There are essentially two teams of heroes, though you stick with one set for the majority of the quest. Just know that this is some great, classic game music.) Final Fantasy II benefits from an improved narrative over the original adventure. (And if that name means zero to you, no worries. The remixed themes also sound great, especially to ears that think Final Fantasy II remains a highlight in composer Nobou Uematsu's extensive career. On the iPhone, the sharp sprites and bright colors look outstanding. The old-school 8-bit graphics have been completely refreshed, but thanks to the high-res 16-bit aesthetic, maintain their retro charm.
