| {{nihongo|'''Final Fantasy II'''|ファイナルファンタジーII|Fainaru Fantajī Tsū}} is a fantasy [[RPG]] developed and published by [[Square]] (now [[Square Enix]]) in 1988 for the [[Famicom]] as the second installment of the ''[[Final Fantasy]]'' series. The game has received numerous enhanced remakes for the [[WonderSwan Color]], the [[Sony]] [[PlayStation]], the [[Game Boy Advance]], the [[PSP]], and multiple mobile and smartphone types. As neither this game nor ''[[Final Fantasy III]]'' were initially released outside of Japan, ''[[Final Fantasy IV]]'' was originally released in North America as ''Final Fantasy II'', so as not to confuse players. The most recent releases of the game are enhanced versions for the [[iOS]] and [[Android]], which were released worldwide in 2010 and 2012, respectively.

| The game'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. The Game Boy Advance remake adds a bonus story after the game is completed.
| | '''Final Fantasy II''' was the second game in the [[:Category:Final Fantasy|Final Fantasy]] series, however it was not released in North America until [[2002]]. Unlike the original game (and all future ones), Final Fantasy II characters did not gain experience in the traditional sense; instead of earning points at the end of a fight that can be applied to gaining a level, specific stats increased based on fighting style. If a character used weapons, their strength would increase, using magic would increase MP and magic strength, taking damage would raise maximum HP, and so on. While this style of gameplay would not be used in any other ''Final Fantasy'', it would be used by Square in [[Threads of Fate]] and the [[:Category:SaGa|SaGa]] series. |

| ''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 a sequel to ''[[Final Fantasy]]'', the game includes no characters or locations from the first game. ''Final Fantasy II'' received little attention at the time from non-Japanese reviewers, though its remakes have garnered favorable reviews.
| | [[Squaresoft]] bundled the game with [[Final Fantasy|Final Fantasy I]] for several re-releases: [[Final Fantasy I-II]] for the [[Famicom]], [[Final Fantasy Origins]] for the [[PlayStation]], and most recently [[Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls]] for the [[Game Boy Advance]]. |
