Final Fantasy 2 (aka FF2 or FF2j) is widely regarded as the worst Final Fantasy game. In this retrospective video essay, I’ll explain why I believe Final Fantasy 2, in spite of all its flaws, is actually the most important game in the series.

PS. Welcome to my new channel! This video was originally posted on my old channel on June 21st, 2021. It’s reposted here because I’m starting a new channel dedicated to this type of content. I also took the opportunity to make some small updates to the video while I was at it.
