This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion. Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

You climb another tower searching for your father while beating up people for ancient relics. This is not a direct sequel to The Final Fantasy Legend, but does expand the first game's mechanics while improving upon them and fixing some bugs.

To do: A lot more translation differences (raw text dump: US, JP). Also check for unused text.

Sound Test

Hold Select + Start + B while on the title screen. A bug occurs where the save-counter value from the loading screen is carried over if you happen to go there first, possibly leading to overflow and illegal values for the Sound Effect option.

Unused Characters

Four unused entries appear in the character data (which includes the enemies, the guest characters, and the initial stats for selectable party members). The unused entries have blank names, stats following the pattern of the group before them (the one after the wizards has high Agl and Mana, the one after the robots has 0 Mana, etc.), and only one ability, which is usually the same as the first ability of the enemy after them.

They all have the Human M overworld sprite and the Pebble enemy sprite in battles, except for the second entry, which has the Robot sprite in battles.

They can be fought in random battles by using GameShark code 01??E1CF, where "??" is the appropriate character ID.

They can be added as party members by the following procedure: Enable GameShark code 01XXYYC7, where "XX" is the character ID and "YY" is 3D, 3E, 3F, 40, 41, 42, 43, or 44. Start a new game. When the character select menu appears, the character specified by "XX" will appear in the menu slot specified by "YY" (3D changes the first slot, 3E the second, etc.). After selecting your party, disable the code.

Regional Differences

Japan	US

In the Japanese version, you have to catch criminals selling illegal opium in Edo. Due to Nintendo of America's content policy at the time, the US version changed the mentions of opium to...bananas.
