Interesting fact: the guy who designed the battle system for FF2 started the SaGa series, from FFLegend1 and Romancing SaGa on. They certainly seem similar, don't they? :)
But, yeah, FF2 is tedious and flawed as fuck, but I love it: 2nd favorite FF, only below FF6. :) I own the Famicom cart, and that's how I beat it -- on my NES. :) I love the magic system. :)
In the GBA one, his HP jumps from 10000 to 15000, but blood sword does 9999 because of that, since its damage is based on enemy's def and hp (the higher the better)
It has piss poor accuracy though, but a high str and 16 sword character can rape most bosses with it.
Just..... don't use it on undead. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DON'T DO THAT.
Same HP as in the PSP version of the 'Dark Emperor', 15,000 HP with about 540 MP. Try to use osmose in order to stop the star fall spells and possible counter-flare, but ONLY if one of your party members has enough for an osmose spell and is nearly out of MP, otherwise, it might not work.
This is my favorite version of the game. When I first got it on the famicom I couldn't read it but I found it better than the first one but not as good as the third irt has a unique touch to it and the music is awesome. This is one of my favorites.
I agree that this game has a certain "feel"; the world feels huge and mysterious in some way, especially with the ominous world map music playing and the airships flying above you.
I actually think the first few hours are the best, because then you can easily level up by exiting and re-entering the dungeons a few times; the last dungeons tend to be a bit ridiculous on the status magic department though, with STON8 and stuff on your whole party. XD
That's because this was never released in America on creation. Americans never saw a legimate (as in non-ROMed) version until a more recent Wonderswan Color version of the game was modified into half of what Playstation games know (and possibly love) as 'Final Fantasy Origins.'
jesus final fantasy 1 2 and 3 for the nes are old times i remember playing them when i was lil lol i didnt even know what the hell to do omg i wanna play them
I think his weakness to the Blood Sword is based on the fact that it does more damage to people with high maximum HP. At least on the GBA version, drain attacks do more damage as your characters get more HP.
I've never heard the original version of this song...

I don't think so. I saw a video when Firion attacks Emperor twice and take more than 9999 HP and 9999 + 9999 = 19998 ^.^
