In my recent efforts to have the complete anthology marked off as played, I have been working on Final Fantasy II. Story wise, I don't have many remarks, as it's pretty classic as far as FF (Final Fantasy) games go. Evil ruler threatens the world because he/she will destroy/rule the whole of it, and you and your unexpected band of heroes show up to save the day to prevent utter destruction/tyranny. Don't get me wrong, there are many profound things in FF story lines that I have learned throughout the years as I've played through the five or six that I have--for example, FF Tactics is by far the best video game story I've ever experienced. Period. Maybe I'll write about that later, but not now--my focus here is on the progress that happens in these games, not the nature of their stories. Leveling up in Final Fantasy games (and many/most other RPGs) is akin to real life.
