This walkthrough had to be split in 2 parts because of 12 hour limit set by youtube.

Final Fantasy: Dawn of Souls is a remake of Final Fantasy I & II for Game Boy Advance. This remake is somewhat similar to Final Fantasy Origins released for the original Playstation a few years prior. This remake features improved graphics and revamped battle system which makes the game many times easier than the NES original.

Final Fantasy II remake features additional story-related expansion called Souls of Rebirth. This expansion puts you in control of your friends who perished in the main game. Now they must fight through the depths of the underworld and defeat the Emperor once and for all.

I actually enjoyed playing Souls of Rebirth. Its my favorite bonus dungeon out of all bonus dungeons put into various Final Fantasy remakes. Souls of Rebirth is not available in the original game or any remakes that came before Final Fantasy: Dawn of Souls.

Walkthrough Notes:

- Obtained Excalibur (easy to miss)
- Dawn of Souls remake features only one Blood Sword while the original game had two. Moreover you have a choice whether keep it in the original game or move it over to Souls of Rebirth expansion. I picked Souls of Rebirth.
- Blood Sword is OP.
- Final Fantasy II has the most unique level up system in any Final Fantasy game. Instead of earning flat xp rate you level up every single stat separately.
- Spell levels grow by the number of uses.
- Weapon levels grow when you can't hit a target. I know there are PLENTY of battles like this throughout the walkthrough. I know these battles aren't fun to look at, but they make every other encounter easier.
- You can target your own characters with attacks and spells. Its often the most efficient way to gain stats.
- Some locations have really tough random encounters. Deist Cavern, Mysidian Tower and Pandaemonium just to name a few.
- This walkthrough was recorded while playing the game in real life with the same conditions as on a real console. It was split in 9 parts. This includes all the micromanagement which usually occurs at the end of a segment and its usually somewhat lengthy. Everything was left as is. I tried my best to make transitions between parts as seamless as possible.
