I do have a few little nit-picks with the overall presentation-the font selection is awful, and the art style may not suit everyone-but on the whole, Final Fantasy II looks great. It's incredibly easy to forget that this game was released on the NES. Having played through the title a few times on a few different platforms, I found myself enamored with the new presentation it really does go above and beyond what has already been released and takes advantage of the PSP's brilliant screen magnificently. This content helps to extend the life of the product greatly, as it sticks closely to the company's tradition of end-game content that proves far more difficult than the core game.
To sweeten the deal, the game features some new content: a bonus quest and new dungeon. The sound has been given some attention as well, with remastered and remixed versions of the original tunes offering a compelling aural package to complement the new visuals. Sporting some new, gorgeously detailed re-drawn sprites, new animations and environments, story FMVs, new character art, and 16:9 widescreen, this edition of FFII is easily the most visually appealing. The star of this 20th anniversary remake is the updated graphical presentation. However, for its time, FFII was a revolutionary title that introduced countless recurring motifs, characters, and gameplay elements into the series. The story-which chronicles the tales of four relatively one-dimensional heroes-is incredibly straightforward, the battle system and character development system are both simple by today's standards, and the adventure definitely doesn't have the epic feel that permeates most good RPGs of today. In case you're not familiar with it, Final Fantasy II is a fairly simple game by the series' standards.
Though Square-Enix is no stranger to re-releasing the original titles in the series, this new edition of the second game is a strong one, and given its relatively low price, makes it one of the more compelling PSP RPGs to date. That's why I've quite enjoyed my time with Square-Enix's 20th anniversary edition of Final Fantasy II. With the state of advancing graphics, sometimes it's hard to go back to games that are just too old the nostalgia "goggles" can only do so much.

Many gamers will often call Final Fantasy VII their gateway drug into the genre, but few ever trace the history of the series backwards to experience the earlier (and arguably superior) titles in the series. As a console RPG fan who grew up with the genre, I'm always aghast to hear of gamers who haven't experienced the finer points in console RPG history.
