Play Final Fantasy II - Playable Golbez Edition Online

Ever wanted to play as the bad guy in Final Fantasy IV? This SNES rom hack lets you take control of Golbez—y’know, that towering, silver-armored menace who usually spends his time kidnapping summoners and being generally terrifying. Suddenly, you’re the one hurling dark magic at Cecil and his crew, which feels weirdly satisfying after years of rooting for the heroes.

The battles are rebalanced to fit Golbez’s overpowered vibe (because let’s be honest, he was never fair to fight against), and there are tweaks to make his playthrough actually make sense. It’s still the same pixel-perfect world, but everything’s flipped—like replaying a favorite movie where the villain wins. The dialogue changes alone are worth it for longtime fans.

Fair warning: you might feel a little guilty blasting Palom and Porom into oblivion. But only a little.
