Chocobo's Dungeon 2

Template:Infobox CVG Chocobo's Dungeon 2, originally released in Japan as Chocobo no Fushigina Dungeon 2, is a sequel to Chokobo no Fushigina Danjon. It is part of the Chocobo series and, by greater extent, the Fushigi no Dungeon series. It was released for PlayStation in 1998 for Japan and in 1999 for North America. Despite the game's predecessor, Chokobo no Fushigina Danjon, not being released in North America, the "2" was kept in the game's title.

Gameplay

The game stars a Chocobo, which the player can rename, like the first game.

In this version of the game, the mazes for the dungeons are randomly-generated, though certain portions have specific patterns, such as the mazes and rooms in Cids tower. This means that each time the player enters the same dungeon, the path through the maze will be different, although the same items and monsters will be encountered.

At the start of the game, Chocobo can only carry a few items. If he dies in the dungeon, the player loses all accumulated items and must start over. As the game progresses, the player will be able to rent storage space in town and send extra items there. These items are not lost if the character dies. The official strategy guide lists every possible item and the various combinations or actions needed to obtain them.

Chocobo can be equipped with various saddles for armor, and strap-on claws for weapons. There are also special furnaces where a character can forge unique weapons, and Recycle Boxes where the player can combine items to get a new, randomly produced item. It is also possible to earn feathers which provide various special abilities. Moreover, items can be bought and sold in town.

There are several secondary characters from the main Final Fantasy series, including mainstay Cid, Shiroma, and Mog. Chocobo can also assume the form of some of the monsters from the game if he steps on certain traps.

If the player lets the credits run at the end of the game, he or she will then be given the ability to play a new form of the game where it is possible to play any of the dungeons as one of the support characters. This second play-through also has a secret dungeon with 30 levels.

Story

Characters

There are many characters in Chocobo's Dungeon 2, and each of them helps Chocobo in a different way at one point in the game. For example, Mrs. Bomb lets Chocobo stay at her house.

There are also characters playable by player two or just CPUs that help Chocobo on his quest. They include: Mog, Shiroma and Cid. There are also summonable characters that Chocobo can get by collecting feathers.

Dungeons

There are 7 dungeons in Chocobo's Dungeon 2 but the two tower dungeons are the same, but they have harder monsters and different items. The first dungeon is cut in two.
