The battle system in Final Fantasy Legend II differs in many ways
from other systems used throughout the series. The system is a
simple one, but here are the finer details:
When a member of your party has been defeated, they'll only be stunned
for the duration of the battle. Once the fight is over, your downed
party members will be revived. If your whole party goes down then Odin
will give you another chance. Since enemies usually hit your party
leader first, you should make sure that your character is equipped with
the strongest armor and the best shield.
Spells either attack one group of enemies or the whole screen. Weapons
and shields can only be used a given amount of times as well as items
and spells. Spells a mutant has learned and the weapons/shields/items of
a robot can be restored when you sleep at an Inn.
