The only thing i didnt like is that it wasnt bundled with FF2 like the GBA version, and doesnt have all of its languages, being only in English and Japanese, but other than that is just a perfect remake, more remakes should be like this.Final Fantasy II is a fantasy role-playing video game developed and published by Square in 1988 for the Family Computer as the second installment of the Final Fantasy series.
This remake is not only for fans of the franchise, but also the perfect for newcomers both for the series and the genre itself. Is just so satisfying obtaining new equipment and new entries in the bestiary. This along with the new content and monsters turns this version in what it seems a loot game, but a very good one. This version also is the only Final Fantasy that doesnt abuse on level grinding and the pacing itself is very fast, being one of the most simple, yet refined and fastest RPG i have ever played. The original version was hard, but mostly for the wrong reasons. To start, there´s basically no a single problem with the difficult on this game.

Imo, FF1 on the PSP is not only the best version of the game by far, but also the best in the series by far. En general un muy buen juego, incluso con el paso de los años.

El sistema de combate es el más clásico, como no podia ser de otra manera en el juego original, sin embargo, la diferencia de clases invitan a la rejugabilidad, ya que habrá ciertas armas o hechizos que no podrás usar si no llevas a ciertos personajes.

No se puede decir mucho de los personajes ya que son mudos y no tienen un desarrollo de por sí, aunque creo que tampoco se le puede pedir más a un juego del 86. La historia tiene un giro bastante impresionante y en general es entretenida.
