How to use this walkthrough
- Edition: Pixel Remaster (rebalanced Famicom growth). No Soul of Rebirth epilogue dungeon in PR.
- No levels: Stats rise from actions. Each chapter reminds you what to swing, cast, and survive. See Growth for the engine.
- Keywords: Memorize words and Ask/Show them. Critical keywords are marked as Keyword chips in each chapter.
- Guest gear: Strip equipment from departing guests the moment the story warns you — dead or leaving allies take their kit forever.
- 100% for FF II means: main story clear, Ultima learned, key missables secured, Emperor (both phases) defeated, best practical builds. No modern achievement board.
PR growth tip: You grow from total HP/MP lost in a fight even if you heal before it ends. Take hits, cast often, swing your main weapon every battle — specialization beats dabbling.
