Farland Story 2 Overview
Farland Story 2 is a strategic role-playing game that functions as a side-story within its series, distinct from another title sharing a similar name. Its narrative centers on Prince Riad, who rebels against his father, the emperor of Ionia, after a dispute over the emperor's warlike schemes and the intended use of Riad's beloved Serena. This conflict forces the prince and Serena to escape, initiating their journey.
The tactical gameplay involves commanding a party across large-scale battle maps. Characters engage enemies directly when within weapon range and can utilize both healing and offensive magic spells. A permanent failure condition exists, making the experience challenging, as the player's defeat occurs immediately if Riad falls in combat.
Set two decades after the events of the second and third main series titles, the world has known peace, though the story adopts a generally darker tone. The emperor's plot for conquest on the Ionian continent disrupts this stability, providing the context for Riad's flight and subsequent adventures.
