Added DiffLines:

* NintendoHard: The original Famicom version and [=PS1=] port's Normal Mode are quite brutal, which adds in the bleakness of the game. The [=PS1=] port's easy mode and the later remakes have eased up the difficulty of the main game. ''Soul of Rebirth'' is arguably even ''harder'', especially when going in blind.

* OnceOriginalNowCommon: It really cannot be overstated how ahead of the curve this game was in terms of story. A large cast of characters, an epic plot, and a charismatic and intelligent villain all in a NES-era RPG. You might also recognize these tropes from damn near every JRPG released since then. Unfortunately, anyone to have played nearly any other JRPG since then will probably not be impressed, and nowadays the lack of characterization in the game (especially among the main cast, who are all ''very'' flat) is one of the biggest complaints about it.

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: The ''Pixel Remaster'' of ''FFII'' has brought a strange variation of "They Changed It ''Back'', Now It Sucks!". The return of the divisive magic penalty system for weapons, shields and armor (not helped by the remaster [[GuideDangIt not informing players in-game of this]]) along with the removal of the Soul of Rebirth mode added in the ''Dawn of Souls'' remake and the Arcane Labyrinth BonusDungeon of the ''20th Anniversary'' remake has lead some to see the ''Pixel Remaster'' version as a downgrade. The fact that the iOS and Android releases based on the ''20th Anniversary'' version were removed from stores when the ''Pixel Remaster'' version released only increased the enmity.
