The proverbial evil Empire's on the rise and neighboring lands and people are being reduced to conquered fodder. Emperor Paramekia and his demonic hordes lay waste to any village in opposition with the power of the Warship, a mighty vessel, at their beckoning. From this grim scenario, four siblings named Frioniel, Guy, Lionheart, and Maria from the overrun village of Phin join a rebellion to stop the scourge. Queen Hilda, leader of the Resistance, and Prince Gordon provide beacons for the young adventurers as they embark on an imposing quest. 
   Originally released in 1988, Square's Wonderswan powered re-issue of Final Fantasy 2 improves on the original with enhanced graphical stylings, sound, and swagger. Intricately detailed towns and inner rooms sparkle with cobblestone roads, tiled houses, and spot illumination. Character artwork follows the familiar super-deformed renderings and vibrant sound samples whistle eerily through the WSC's speakers.
