Final Fantasy 2 (Pixel Remaster) - Part 1: Rebellion

With Final Fantasy 1, 4, & 6 completed, let's continue our coverage of the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series with the first of the three games that I have never played before, Final Fantasy 2! Initially released only in Japan on the Famicom, Final Fantasy 2's story centers on four youths whose parents were killed during an army invasion by the empire of Palamecia, who are using hellspawn to conquer the world. Three of the four main characters join a rebellion against the empire, embarking on missions to gain new magic and weapons, destroy enemy superweapons, and rescue leading members of the resistance, while the fourth party slot is a revolving door, ever changing throughout the game

Final Fantasy II introduced many elements that would later become staples of the Final Fantasy franchise, including chocobos and the recurring character Cid. It also eliminated the traditional experience point leveling system of the previous and later games in the series, instead introducing an activity-based progression system where the characters' statistics increase according to how they are used or acquired. Despite being advertised as a sequel to Final Fantasy, the game includes no characters and locations from the first game.

Final Fantasy 2 was also widely known for its difficulty, mostly because of a bug where any enemy attack that has a chance to inflict a status effect on you will always inflict that status effect, which carried over into the Pixel Remaster. So if you face a horde of Cockatrices (whose attacks inflict the Stone status effect) or Coeurls (whose attacks inflict instant death), good luck!

In Part 1 of my playthrough, the Palamecian Empire begins its quest for world conquest, as four youths who lost their families in the war join the rebellion.
