Story

In a search for their missing father, the player-created protagonist seeks out the 77 MAGI stones formed when the statue of the goddess Isis was smashed. Teaming up with three other adventurers, the protagonist collects the MAGI from across a series of worlds connected by the Pillar of Sky. The protagonist's father is revealed to have belonged to a group called the Guardians, who fear bringing together all the MAGI will bring about catastrophe. When the protagonist finds all but one of the MAGI, the god Apollo extorts the gathered MAGI from the party by threatening their allies.

As one MAGI is missing, Apollo's attempt to use them goes wrong and all the worlds connected to the Pillar of Sky are struck by earthquakes. Descending the Pillar of Sky, the party restores Isis and with her help defeats the mechanical Arsenals acting as the Pillar of Sky's security system so Isis can restore the worlds unimpeded. The game ends with the protagonist going on a new adventure with their parents.

Gameplay Systems

Final Fantasy Legend II , known in Japan as SaGa 2: Hihou Densetsu , is a role-playing video game . Set in a science fiction -based world, players take on the role of a four-person party with both humans and monsters able to be recruited. Most of the gameplay is carried over from the first game . The player navigates a party of four character through the game world, exploring areas and interacting with non-player characters (NPCs).

Most of the game occurs in towns, castles, caves, and similar areas, all viewed from a top-down perspective. The party slowly unlocks new worlds to explore, starting with the First World, and are able to save anywhere outside combat. Players can journey between locations via the world map , a downsized representation of the different worlds. Players can freely navigate around the world map screen unless restricted by terrain, such as water or mountains.

During exploration, the party can talk with NPCs to gather information about how to progress the narrative, with notes being collected in a journal. Like The Final Fantasy Legend , travel is occasionally interrupted by random enemy encounters . The game uses a turn-based battle system, where party members take turns using abilities such as attacks, spells, and items. At the end of battles, character statistics (stats) are raised randomly, with different upgrades between character types.

Downed units are restored to one health at the end of a battle. If all characters fall in battle, they can be revived by the character Odin in exchange for needing to fight him in the future. The party will find magical stones called MAGI that can be equipped for new abilities and upgrades.
