Final Fantasy II
About the Game
The military country of Baron is one of the strongest in the land, with a proud army and a majestic air force known as the Red Wings. However, the recent actions of the king make even the most loyal of his subordinates doubt his judgment. The captain of the Red Wings, Cecil, is ordered to attack the city of Mysidia and take the Water Crystal from innocent magicians who protect it. When Cecil questions the king's orders, he is immediately thrown out of the country and sent off to deliver a package to the village of Mist, accompanied by his best friend Kain, the captain of the dragoons.

While combat is turn-based in its core, the game does not pause when players accesses the battle menu. Enemies continue to act in real time regardless of the actions of players-controlled party. Each player-controlled character has a special bar that gradually refills itself; said character may act when the bar is full.
