Mike Matei reviews Final Fantasy II for SNES! More commonly known worldwide as Final Fantasy IV. This was one of my absolute favorite games on the Super Nintendo as a teenager. Read Mike’s Blog ✜ www.mikematei.blog
Note: Sorry I made an error about Tellah in this video. I got mixed up with what happens. Later on I believe you use Rydia to cast Meteor #retro #retrogaming #nes #snes #jamesrolfe #mikematei #atari #playthrough #gameplay #gamereview

Different classes wouldn't make sense in the story. Cecil was the dark knight who had to work to become a Paladin. Kain is a proud Dragoon and wouldn't make sense for him to be anything else. Edge is part of a proud ninja nation. Their classes are the story itself. Its one of the reason I enjoyed IV over V.

TECHNICALLY there are three characters besides Tellah that can use Meteo, though. Actually four if you want to count Golbez. Rydia, Palom and FuSoYa all are able to use Meteo, though in Palom's case you'd have to grind a very stupid amount of time and unless you're playing on the GBA version it would be worthless since you lose him eventually anyway

Only the Western release of the game on the SNES was called FF2, that doesn't make it any less incorrect to continue calling this game FF2 when FF2 is in actuality an entirely different game. Calling it FF2 is a localization mistake due to FF2 and FF3 not being localized in time for a release in North America, leaving them to make the decision to skip 2 and 3 entirely in favor of just going straight to FF4 on the at-the-time brand new SNES. The localizers called it FF2 as to not confuse their western audience, as people would probably ask WTF happened to FF2 and FF3. Real shitty on the localizers for this decision, which has had the exact opposite effect of what was originally desired and has instead caused a lot of confusion ever since (it also seemed to be more or less a common practice at the time, making not just Final Fantasy but many Japanese games a victim of these shitty localizations). This game was released in a time before the internet, so frankly nobody knew any better. We know better now.

He gets the reason technically right, but he doesn't explain it very clearly, and the imagery on screen while he talks about it is a hot mess of fail. He refers to the Japanese Final Fantasy III for Famicom, but is seemingly oblivious that he's showing the box for the western SNES release of Final Fantasy VI, which was just *called* "Final Fantasy III" at the time. Then he goes on to talk about the localization changes between Final Fantasy IV's Japanese and English versions, but shows screenshots of actual Final Fantasy II for Famicom. As for what would become FFIV and FFV originally starting development simultaneously, I can't speak to that with any authority, but I've *never* heard even a rumour of that before. I don't know where he got that information, or if it's remotely accurate.

I remember playing this when I was six, I was originally too young to play so my sister played it first and we used to stay up all night and I would watch her play. I fell in love with this game and played it myself shortly after her play through. It was the game that made me fall in love with the final fantasy series and rpg’s in general. It has always been my favorite rpg ever and I’ve probably played it to completion about 50 times lol so glad you did this review. So many people give this game shit and I never understood why.

I would also agree that the PSP version is the definitive edition. It cleans up a lot of the functions and translation issues. It also stays true to the art, while giving it a more polished look. In addition to that, it includes the complete story* and enables you to use either the original soundtrack or the remixed soundtrack.

To be more clear this is Final Fantasy IV Easy Type in Japan. At the time there were two Final Fantasy IVs in Japan, Easy Type and Hard Type, which we did not get in the US until Final Fantasy Chronicles on the PS1. In Hard type the entire enemy party attackes after a party member attacks. There are ither differences between the games, but I don't remember them at the moment.

FFII was my 4th RPG I played when I was a kid. Definitely was the best I ever played. In Brazil we had to travel to US to bring the games or ask for someone to bring them for us. It was the best of times. The soundtrack of FFIV is remarkable, inpiring and always brigs back memories, since it describes so well the games atmosphere. I bet very little games could do as well as this one.

Mike's solo content has just been getting exponentially better every year since he started doing these. Honestly, it's to a point where I enjoy Mike's reviews & lists about as much as the full-fledged AVGN episodes, and that's saying something. I don't know how or why anyone ever questioned Mike when he started being a more major part of this channel, just because "he isnt the nerd".. smh :p

I don't understand how Mike can like any RPG. Whenever he's playing a game with dialog he just wants to skip it as fast as possible.

Like many others here, this too is my favorite game ever. I’d played Dragon Warrior and the original Final Fantasy, but never before had a game moved me so much emotionally. That, along with the great characters, gameplay and music, just came together in a way few games do. Great video.

The story in this game is simply unbelievably well written, although some clichés are pretty predictable. How they managed to make each character feel so alive and individual while not spending hours of FMV on doing it was simply amazing. This game is in my top 10 for sure.
