particularities

For the first time character names were used: Firion , Maria , Ghai and Leon . There is also a princess named Hilda , the magician Min'U , a thief named Paul and Cid , the master of the airship. These names refer to Final Fantasy: Dawn of Souls . Since then there has been a character named Cid in every part of the series , mostly in connection with airships. Another innovation was the level-up system: the more often an ability is used, the more effective it becomes.

In Final Fantasy II, some things have been added that appear in almost all of the following parts, such as the Chocobos mounts or the division of the group into a front and back row. Characters in the back row only take half damage, but they can only take half damage.

At the same time, Final Fantasy II has some features that are not found in any other game in the series. You can learn terms that you have to say to other people in order to receive additional information or to advance in the game. To gain more power points, a character must lose more than half of his power points in battle. The same applies to the magic points. You have to buy the spells, they first appear as items and have to be selected in the menu before you can use them. The spells become stronger through use.
