First released in Japan on the 8-bit Famicom, Final Fantasy II makes its PSP debut as an enhanced remake of the 1988 original. The storyline once again follows the adventures of four young heroes as they set out to avenge the deaths of their parents at the hands of an evil emperor. While the turn-based battles and random encounters are similar to the franchise's first game, the sequel introduces a new character advancement system that rewards those who use specific weapons or cast certain spell types by increasing their skills in these areas. Final Fantasy II for PSP includes updated character and background art, new dungeons to conquer, a revised camera, and a widescreen presentation to take advantage of the handheld's 16:9 display. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide
