FINAL FANTASY 2

It's easter, and unless we get good weather I'll be playing through FF2! I've glanced through the parts of a walkthrough that explain the new gameplay mechanics and there's definitely some neat stuff.

The game starts with your party being annihilated by four riding douche bags. You're somehow rescued and taken to the castle mentioned above. There you talk to Lady Nina, who runs the place.

This is what it looks like when you actually get to walk around. Initial impressions are good. The graphics are better, and the music not as nauseating.

* The characters themselves don't level up, but their individual skills, such as swords, shields, and strength level up as they're being used.

* If you're poisoned during battle you won't stay poisoned afterwards. This means you won't have to walk around with 3424390 antidotes, which is great.

* There's the concept of "battle rows". For both sides there are two rows that characters can stand in. Melee characters typically stand in front, while the magic users hide in the back. The back row can only be damaged by magic spells, or if the front row has been wiped.
