Final Fantasy II/Trivia

• No Export for You:
  • This originally applied to the game until the Playstation port. The Japanese novelization of the game will most likely always fall into this category.
  • Official reasons for the original localization ("Dark Shadow Over Palakia") being canceled were given as Final Fantasy IV being released right around the corner, and NES development was drying up in the west. However, the likely real reason the game sat in Japan for so long is the fact that the game carries a heavy death theme and the endgame involves a trip to Hell, which would have been impossible to alter for or dodge by Nintendo's Censorship Bureau.
