Final Fantasy II Anniversary Edition review at Gamepro.

"While it isn't not quite as amazing as the FFI Anniversary Edition, it's still a fun title that is definitely worth checking out, especially if you missed the boat the first time around.

The First of Many Sequels

The fairly simple premise of orphaned children fighting against an evil empire paved the way for a lot of the Final Fantasy titles that came after, and even though it has a decidedly old school flavor, it still manages to hold up by offering fun, imaginative characters who develop nicely over the course of the game. The beautiful visual style also helps push the game out of the realm of RPG dinosaurs, and it's nice to see your character's emote during conversations."
