About this game

Final Fantasy Legend II follows a search for scattered MAGI and a missing father across several worlds. Players build a party from humans, mutants, monsters, and robots, with each race using distinct growth, equipment, or consumption rules. The multiworld journey repeatedly changes towns, dungeons, and themes, while race combinations create substantial party variety. Turn-based combat and resource use suit portable sessions, though several growth rules are poorly explained and encounter frequency or late difficulty can become repetitive. Its small cartridge still holds a broad world and rich systems. This description covers the original gb release represented by this catalog entry and does not assume conveniences introduced by later ports.
