I remember when I was younger I used to actually not know how to get to Fynn because I always walked too far away from the river when walking north and assumed the enemies you run into up there were how strong you were supposed to get. I ended up grinding up to the point that I could reach Mysidia easily and it was all because I had no idea what to do to progress the game but I was addicted to the game's leveling system. When the day came that I actually walked near the river and found out how to reach Fynn I couldn't fucking believe it. It was like a dream. That was on another file though where I actually tried to play through the game properly, took in every single bit of dialogue to make sure I could find my way to Fynn. I was retarded, yeah.

A similar scenario for me. When i was little and i didnt know english, i couldnt figure out how to make progress too. And i tried so hard to level up so i can get over that desert. It was the hardest thing in my life because i didnt know about esuna or antidote either. When i finally got over it, i found the chocobo village and used it to go to mysidia. I could never make it out there after chocobo is gone. I started living in the mysidia. Then i had to delete that savefile. But no worries i finished the game after a year.

[@robertemumford]

For those playing the pixel remastered on Steam, the developers intentionally or unintentionally killed part of this strat with the Flan; they are now gone from the tip of land south of Altair. Instead, you can find them along the strip of land west of Mysidian Tower, but you will encounter stronger mobs between Flan encounters, and the Flans can take damage from attacks and flee. The upside is that Teleport/Warp/Toad all miss so that you can level them, and their flee chance is low, so with a group of 6 Flans, you can still likely burn through your mp before they all run. I found beefing my characters up with Captains some more helped, and eventually, my shield skill capped out at level 13 from the mobs between Flan making it impossible for them to hurt me. Just bring a stack of Crosses with you and antidotes as the monsters between flans can poison and curse your party members. A notable downside will be that you can't just level up your fist or bows past approximately levels 12-13 on the Flan and the other monsters in the area. However, your weapons, such as swords and poles, can be leveled up to 16, so it is a mixed bag. LAST: The matching game was not in the original game but added in later versions of FF2. As Pixel Remastered mirrors the original game, there is no matching game and, therefore, no value in leveling up Toad for that purpose.

[@harrylane4]

So weird they didn’t include any of the bonus stuff for 1-3. Real missed opportunity IMO, especially with the frankly exorbitant amount they’re charging for those games

[@viktorstanev2752]

Also, since dual shields now use the unarmed attack animation and actually do damage, the dual shield strat has been basically clapped, so... We not have to play FF2 legit.

[@thecedex]

It doesn't matter I was just wondering around the world map in the Pixel Remaster version before the Semitt Falls quest and my characters had like 3000+ HP and 400+ MP with level 7 to 11 Weapon Levels lol

[@arrestedeffort]

You could also level teleport by walking into a town, teleporting out, then repeating until your MP is exhausted. Your character won't die no matter how many times they cast the spell. You could also then take that opportunity to level another character's cure spell, further increasing the gains by casting it on your whole party so you get more opportunities to use it on your character who casted teleport.

[@leargamma4912]

It levels faster out of battle just based on real time. So yes, this also works for the first dungeon. Teleport everything

FF2 stats leveling is very unique. It's really fun for a normal playthrough to have the flexibility to do your own class. If you try to max everything, it gets super grindy indeed. Autobattle from newer version helps a lot with that.

[@-ArdhaniChandra]

But have worst magic leveling system. The only magic you can leveling it easy is Cure spell because using magic outside battle will always give you 2% magic exp regardless of level while on battle using it once can be higher on lower level and lower on higher level to the point you only get 1% or even lower at magic level 12 or higher and of course that animation waste time to long. Also to train MP you are forced to have Swap Spell where you use it on full MP against enemy with low Spirit and no mana especially the weak one so when it was success, you lose almost your HP and Mana in a single battle, triggering the growth. Not only that, some stat could even decrease such as Intelligence if you didn't use magic often

[@DarkAuraLord]

Before I even start this video, I'll answer the title: Pretty god damn strong. FF2's leveling system was crazy and you don't even need monsters to grind, you can literally beat up your own party to level your stats. It's wild. Anyways, have a like for showing more people this underrated but flawed classic. Probably my favorite of the classic FF titles.

My first Final Fantasy games were IV, V and VI back in 2002 when I was 15, I got IV and V first because we got the PAL port of Anthology and we got VI in December of the same year, I still love those games and all the memories I have of playing them with my late father who bought the games :)

[@seansnyder7744]

To be technical about it, I think my first FF title was Mystic Quest (which obviously wasn't considered an FF title by many) Thankfully I was too young to even know what I was getting into. I was visiting my grandparents in Palm Springs, who took us out to pick a present for Christmas, I originally chose Spawn, but my mom said it was sacrilegious, so I quickly looked for something random that looked like the best value, which of course was a 3 disc game, FFVII. Thus started my appreciation for the series, and eventually playing them all.

[@iincredibleSham]

My very first Final Fantasy game was Tactics Advanced for the GBA as a kid, and I loved every bit of it!! It completely absorbed me into the series

[@radicalratretro]

Yeah, i remember that once i wanted to do some solo run in FF II. I thought it will be harder, but my evasion stat went high so quickly that it broke the game. In older version of FF II (PSX i guess) there was also some bug - if you cancelled action before choosing target it was already registered as character performed that action - it means it was possible to chose spell/attack then just cancel it and repeat to get bonus stats and spell levels super quick.

[@sammoreed]

My favourite part I found with 2 when I first played it was just how open the map is and how the enemies are levelled to try and stop you. Wandering off the path and finding an enemy who could one shot me was a great lesson but an incredible moment. I would love for rpgs to have a bit more of the openess that this game had. Too many RPGs have become so formulaic.

[@Jotari]

Yeah, he said this was an old school Final Fantasy trait, but it's really not. It's a Final Fantasy II trait. In the first game you're stuck in the same area until you build a bridge, then you need a boat, then you need dynamite to get out of the inland sea, only then can you explore the full world map, though you still need the airship to get to most of it. Final Fantasy III is almost beat for beat similar only once you've finally opened the full world map you discover it's only a portion of the actual full world map which you still need to get two different air ships to explore. Final Fantasy IV also does that with its underground and space world maps (and Ditto with V and its two worlds). Final Fantasy II is really the only game where you can explore a significant chunk of the world from the moment you can play the game. The other early games are just as restrictive as the, well not newer games since they abandoned the concept of a world map after IX, but the later games.

[@sammoreed]

@@Jotari I don't know why they didn't make another game with this style of exploring. 2 had so many great ideas they just needed refining. Skill leveling is great fun and just needed tweaking, the key word system wasn't too bad there were just too many npcs to try them on. Thinking about it, it's amazing how much they tried changing all at once in 2.

[@Jotari]

@@sammoreed Yeah, I find II's gameplay really interesting in concept, but really poor in execution. I'd like to see another game tackle it properly (though I've only played the original NES version, so I don't know how the remakes handled the balancing of it).

[@mhchx3]

Ever since the first time I've played this game, I always go to Ogres then Captains to level up, it's such a great way to power up early

[@MrVariant]

Yeah it helps to know different strategies too. Dash to mysidia on chocobo forest just below Kashuan once you have money from captain flame bows, start unarmed rather than buy crappy initial weapons (even mithril is pretty bad compared to the cheap 8000 Gil power staff or 5000 Gil ice bow in Mysidia). Dunno how anyone could take time to level 16 toad or double shielding as it's forever. I just equipped ancient sword/sleep blade on non-dominant hand and status doesn't seem to have an accuracy dip, and they hit more often I think though damage is low as you want to dual wield and it creates a status effect should enemy survive. Also prolongs battle for quicker sword growth. Am impressed you knew farming strategies from your first playthrough. I just learned a lot today lol, and I'm not even including the video.

The first Final Fantasy on the NES was the first one I played. My friend showed it to me when I was 8. I fell in love with it instantly. So much so that I was thinking about it all the time when I was playing. The music stuck with me the most I think. Then 2 (4) was released and I put a lot of time into that one. Once 3 (6) came out then it was game over for anything else. That one became my favourite game of all time.

My first Final Fantasy ever was Final Fantasy 8! My stepbrother of the time brought it over, and I instantly fell in love. It was so different from my other games, Crash, Spyro, Tony Hawk, all games I loved, but none with the focus on characters and storytelling that FF8 had. It introduced me not only to the series, but to the genre, and I still love it to this day. Fun fact, I wanted to rent FF8 when my stepbrother had went back to his mom's, but our game store didn't have it. So I took the next closest thing they had, which was Final Fantasy Tactics. My second-grade self was every bit overwhelmed, in awe, and in love with the game all at the same time. It wasn't until high school that I finally saw Tactics through to the end, and it was such an accomplishment for myself to finally finish a game I started back in elementary school.

FF4 on SNES is... not something you can really do this to It's by far the most linear game in the entire series, you will pretty much always have the exact same party, with the exact same skills, exact same equipment and exact same stats at any give point in a playthrough Your only real option for becoming overpowered would be a soul-less level up grind, and the very occasional rare drop It's honestly a shame because it's great game the first time you play it, but because every single playthrough is nigh identical, the experience just degrades each and every time The 3D versions may have more options though, with the Augment system

FF9 was my first FF game and it's still my favorite FF game, followed by FF10 not too far away from it! (Currently playing FF10 on Switch doing the engame grind! :D)

[@MegaduceFlare]

I think the last time I played FF2 (PS1), I maxed the unarmed stats for the three starter characters before doing much of anything & laughed like mad as they all got in touch with their "inner Kenshiros" once unarmed got to level 16. Also, first Final Fantasy for me was FF1 (NES).

[@deadNdivine12]

FF: Tactics the war of the lions was my first game haha it was great.

[@MYCMESSIAH]

A trick to save gil at the Inn after grinding is to have enough MP to actually cure all members before hitting up the Inn. You'll only pay gil to replenish MP which will only costs you hundreds instead of thousands deep into your grinding.

[@Chibi-Luka]

I've never played FF2 but I have never been so insta ready in all my life! This is like Desgaea levels of broken! 👀

[@Primalliquid92]

FF2 is amazing and i HIGHLY suggest playing it.

[@mrfreddorenton]

My first Final fantasy was 12. It was my jump into combining skills and abilities to win big (thanks bubble)

[@Oksenholt]

11:56 I kept thinking my phone was vibrating until I realized it was coming from this video's audio. You must have had a call when recording the voiceover with your phone on vibrate. I bet you did this just to mess with us, right?...haha!

[@JoeBee9]

I use an alternative strategy to get overpowered and defeat any enemy you can access before the Scott quest. Simply go barehanded on all three party members and your damage spikes higher and higher as you gain proficiency. When you reach 3+, you can take on the ogres, land turtles, etc. Reach 5+ and you can take on the Captains within two rounds, 7+ will allow you to handle the enemies far to the north, and 8+ gives you enough attack for Mysidia's enemies as well as the extremely powerful Ghosts and Vampire Girls (although curse and especially confuse/charm is still a huge b**ch). You can raise HP just by how hard enemies will hit you as they will take most of your HP but you will kill them quickly too. No magic grinding required whatsoever. Tried in the PSP, Pixel Remaster, and NES versions and it works. You can even take out Black Flans as Critical Hits will take a chunk of their HP out while also fast-levelling your bare handed skill up to 13. You don't need white magic either. Just use potions, hi-potions, and eventually Cottages to heal. You'll get enough gil in these fights to get 99 of each with ease.

Dude, I thought my phone was vibrating at 11:57 lol.

[@bobolopster]

I knew I wasn't crazy, I was on a wild goose chase trying to find what was vibrating

[@johnschwartz1641]

I started with the first Final Fantasy on the NES, and still have fond memories of staying up late navigating dungeons with the help of Nintendo Power's strategy guide.

[@themayorbear87]

Final fantasy 1 on the NES. I was young. I thought Garland was the end boss, since a credit type sequence played after rebuilding the bridge.

[@greilthelegendaryhero252]

My 1st ff game was ff1&2 for the gba. (Mostly played 1) loved the sieies since then. I then got ff4 for the ds and ff6 on the Wii. Loved them both and my collection only grew from there. Good video man.

[@thespacewarrior7126]

The first Final Fantasy game I played was 10, however my favorite in the series is 5.

[@1beatcher]

I always thought it was funny that the main villain in ff5 is a evil tree.

[@thespacewarrior7126]

1beatcher I thought it was funny that the main villain in the game is called ExDeath

[@Mr3DLC]

We can all agree that 13 sucked

[@thespacewarrior7126]

Damien Knox I’ve haven’t played any of the final fantasy games past 10

[@1beatcher]

@@Mr3DLC I agree with you, and can we agree on that Snow is one of the worst (or the worst) FF character?

[@lighteverbright1468]

Awesome, next time I play 2 I probably won't over level that much but will totally get OP, love these videos

[@krislynn5965]

Well, you've inspired me to play some FF2 again. It's been so damn long.

[@StairFacts]

Oh shit yes! My favorite Final Fantasy game! I remember trying this farming method myself way back when on a replay, it's really funny to just breeze through the game like this. I wish this game would get more appreciation honestly, I hope more people give it a fair shake!

[@kevinkissane875]

You've never made a boring over powered video primal.

[@austa10]

Thanks to emulation I was able to do this within 10hrs or so including the extra at the end. Thank you for the tips here it came in handy. Getting ready to beat this game for the first time!

[@Primalliquid92]

No problem!

[@thezevi7632]

I wonder how overpowered you can get on a Kenshi, Slave Start.

[@amalgameexe]

Very, actually. To the point you can walk out, knock out Phoenix and toss him to the cannibals without anyone noticing

[@SolusEmsu]

My first FF game was FF2SNES. I still have it, and it still works. I have lost the save files over the years due to old battery save tech, but I still have the working cart and I can play it!

[@dringypie]

First time I've seen that CG. Had no idea Maria was so.. gifted.

[@fluffdafire157]

Final fantasy 9 was my first and I still to this day think it's the best

[@justinh7560]

fluff dafire 9 was my first and my favorite for 15+ years. I think 7 has become my favorite in recent years by a narrow margin. 9 will always be top 2 though. So good

[@Sum2k3]

My first Final Fantasy was Final Fantasy 8 and it is on par with final fantasy X for my personal favorites.

[@Primalliquid92]

just for the comment about 10 i think we can be best friends.

[@skyfernandez2958]

I cant say it any better

[@PlanetSidewinder]

My first Final Fantasy game was "Final Fantasy" original NES on release day. Cheers and thanks for these entertaining videos! Subbed!

[@stormlands]

You shuld do twitch while doing the grind we can keep you with company. :D

[@Primalliquid92]

that is what im going to do for future grinds :)

[@ZeldawolffangZX]

My first FF game was FF9, man do I love that game.

[@iTzTraffy]

My first Final Fantasy was FF8 without knowing it was FF, my „real“ first with knowing I’m playing a FF and knowing what I’m doing was 7

[@Primalliquid92]

yea i think 7/8 is probably going to be alot of peoples answers, they were the first truly "big" FF titles on PS1

[@florianweber6914]

Mine was also 8. Propably one of the worst to start with thanks to the way magic and levels work, especially if you are just ten years old

[@iTzTraffy]

Florian Weber Yep! I was even younger (I think 7-8), playing my older brothers safe and was just fucking confused with everything 😂

[@bronysaiyan5236]

8 became my fav cuz of the junction lol made my team immortal and laugh at bad breath but i can see what you mean by the leveling and separate magic stocks

[@kyubbiman2255]

MDB told me to leave a comment for the algorithm so her you go. We appreciate the work that goes into this for we ll understand the call and necessity of the grind.

[@damagedcatdad]

My first FF game was FFX-2🤣🤣🤣 my little 7yr old self saw that ugly Western cover art at Blockbuster and was like "YES" the opening cinematic of realEmotion changed my life forever.

[@derekmoore2308]

lol me 2

[@cereyza]

same!!! FFX-2 was my second game after FFX but it's my favorite one.

[@marcosdheleno]

people like to bash x-2 but seriously? that game is actually incredible, ALOT of decision making, that does change the world, multiple endings, ALOT of customization(unfortunately not very good equipment system). it was basically mass effect before mass effect.

[@xmakoheart]

god yes, x-2 is one of my favorites, i don't care what anyone says. it's such a satisfying game to play, the battle system is incredible.

[@hardcoor17]

Great video! My first FF was actually FFXIII and I'm old enough to have grown up with an NES. Unfortunately I had a Genesis and an N64 so missed the series the first time around. Once I got my PS3 I played 13 and then went back and played all the rest.

[@Primalliquid92]

ooh nice, after starting so late in the series what did you think about the older games?

[@hessian144]

I have always enjoyed glitches and methods that break a game. This is a great video thanks!

[@beezusHrist]

Final Fantasy II (actually Final Fantasy 4) was my first Final Fantasy game. The overworld theme has been stuck in my head ever since.

[@TheAuron32]

this should be good and interesting, given FF2s "unique" leveling system... i was right, this WAS a good watch :) and my first RPG let alone FF game was FF7, totally opened the world of games to me, was previously a Sega kid and only really knew sonic and few beat em ups.

[@JarvisBaileyVA]

I found you by chance a few days ago via your overpowered before Shiva FFX video. X is my favorite Final Fantasy game too so I'm glad to have found your channel.

[@Xymor]

My first FF game was the first one, I was 11 or 12 when I played in 1990 which is when it was released in the US. I like these videos cause I used to do things like this back in the day.

[@Santrial]

You got me to play FFX again for the fifth time, and now with this, I'll probably go play this little gem again.

[@travismisner3656]

The amount of time and effort you put into these videos is absolutely incredible! You have my respect sir. It’s an honor to watch

I mean its been a wide known fact its great for the algorithm long before MDB, hell you can look at my previous channel where ive been saying the same thing for nearly 7 years.
