Consumable items are your lifeline in Final Fantasy II. Potions restore HP, Hi-Potions restore more, and Ethers restore MP. Antidotes cure Poison, Eye Drops cure Darkness, and Phoenix Downs revive fallen allies. Tents and Cabins allow you to rest and save on the world map (Tents) or in dungeons (Cabins), restoring HP/MP. Always carry a healthy stock of Potions, Antidotes, and Phoenix Downs. Ethers become increasingly important as your magic users grow. You can purchase most basic items from shops in towns, while rarer ones are found in chests or dropped by enemies. Don't be afraid to use them in tough battles; hoarding them can lead to unnecessary defeats.
