How are Final Fantasy I and Final Fantasy II different?

Answer 1

Final Fantasy I's story is lacking. There is no character development because there are no characters. The game isn't particularly difficult, and the story line is extremely simplistic; gather four generic crystals and the game ends. One could, however, choose your own classes at the beginning of the game and level them until they evolved into more advanced classes; i.e. the thief eventually evolves into the ninja. Final Fantasy II has a more in depth story line and actual characters. The difference in the battle system is that each character is assigned a unique class in Final Fantasy II; the player is unable to choose.
