《阿蕾莎2》（日文原名：アレサII アリエルの不思議な旅，英文名：Aretha II: Ariel no Fushigi na Tabi）是由Japan Art Media開發、Yanoman發行的Super Nintendo Entertainment System（Super Famicom）角色扮演遊戲，於1994年11月26日在日本推出。延續前作《阿蕾莎》的世界觀與角色設定，但在劇情、戰鬥系統以及遊戲機制上都有明顯提升和擴展，為系列帶來更深層次的冒險體驗。

劇情承接前作，故事背景設定在Ariel及其同伴成功阻止Vandal帝國野心之後。Ariel已成為阿蕾莎王國的女王，以公正的方式統治國家。然而，一天她收到Doole 的求助信，為響應昔日同伴的聲音，Ariel決定離開王國，將統治權交由屬下管理，踏上新的冒險旅程。故事描繪Ariel在離開王國後，如何面對新的挑戰、鍛鍊自己的魔法技能，並與過往的夥伴共同應對未知危機。

在操作與戰鬥方面，延續超任版本《阿蕾莎》的全方向回合制戰鬥系統。敵人可從四個方向發動攻擊，但與前作不同的是，前方可能沒有敵人，因此在遭遇側面或背面攻擊時，必須先調整Ariel的面向。戰鬥傷害數值被具體化，可以清楚分辨哪些敵人已經受到攻擊，哪些尚未命中。此外，前作中防止背景音樂中斷的特殊功能被取消，BGM表現變得與一般RPG遊戲一致。

引入全新的「系統靈魂蟲（Mist Worm）」合成系統，可以利用戰勝的怪物殘骸與靈魂來合成原創裝備。將靈魂放置於祭壇上後，會出現妖精協助合成。靈魂分為六種屬性：火、水、風、土、光與暗，最終合成出的裝備效果會根據靈魂的比例及放置位置不同而有所變化，增加遊戲的策略性與探索樂趣。

角色系統方面，隊伍中固定的三人位置有Materia與Doole兩名角色，第三名角色則會隨遊戲進程而替換。可隨時呼出「相談系統」（諮詢系統），不僅能與Materia互動，也能欣賞其他角色之間的對話，增加劇情深度與角色代入感。在圖形表現上，與前作相比大幅提升，不僅Materia，Doole與其他主要角色的立繪也得到豐富呈現。

還加入「魔法膠囊（Magical Capsule）」系統，在地圖上可隨機獲得膠囊，打開後能獲得隨機消耗道具。系列中其他隱藏角色，如Game Boy版本的角色，也首次在本作登場，增添收藏與探索樂趣。雖然遊戲在後期的要塞關卡難度較高，有玩家可能需花數月時間才能順利通關，但高難度也為遊戲提供了挑戰性與策略性，讓玩家在成就感中完成冒險。

市場評價方面，在日本推出後受到玩家與評論家的肯定，特別是對其進化的戰鬥系統、豐富的角色互動以及策略性裝備合成系統給予高度評價。結合奇幻冒險、策略回合制戰鬥、角色成長以及探索解謎元素，無論是對前作玩家還是新玩家，都提供深度而豐富的RPG體驗，成為Super Famicom平台上經典的角色扮演遊戲之一。

Aretha II: Ariel no Fushigi na Tabi (Japanese: アレサII アリエルの不思議な旅) is a role-playing game developed by Japan Art Media and published by Yanoman for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (Super Famicom). It was released on November 26, 1994, exclusively in Japan. This sequel continues the story and world of the original Aretha, expanding on its combat, character systems, and gameplay mechanics, offering players a deeper and more strategic RPG experience.

The narrative picks up after Ariel and her companions have thwarted the ambitions of the Vandal Empire. Ariel has ascended to the throne as Queen of the Kingdom of Aretha, ruling justly and wisely. One day, she receives a letter from her companion Doole, requesting her assistance. Responding to the call of her former allies, Ariel leaves the kingdom in the hands of her vassals and sets out on a new adventure, facing new challenges, honing her magical abilities, and confronting emerging threats alongside her old friends. The story emphasizes Ariel’s growth from a capable ruler to an adventuring heroine navigating a world filled with magical and strategic challenges.

Gameplay builds upon the Super Famicom version of the original Aretha, retaining the multi-directional turn-based battle system. Enemies can attack from four directions, but unlike the previous game, there may be no enemies directly in front of Ariel. Players must adjust her facing direction to defend or counter attacks from the side or rear. Combat damage is now quantified, making it easier to track which enemies have been hit. Additionally, the feature that prevented BGM interruption in the original game was removed, allowing music to play continuously like in standard RPGs.

A major new feature is the "Mist Worm" synthesis system. Players can use the remains and souls of defeated monsters to craft unique equipment. Placing a soul on an altar summons a fairy to assist with synthesis. There are six types of souls—fire, water, wind, earth, light, and darkness—and the final equipment produced depends on the ratio and placement of these souls, adding strategic depth and customization to gear creation.

The party system includes fixed characters Materia and Doole, with a third party member changing as the game progresses. The “Consultation System” can be accessed at any time, allowing players to enjoy character interactions and dialogue beyond just Materia. Graphically, the game made significant improvements over its predecessor, with detailed sprites for main characters including Materia, Doole, and others.

Another addition is the “Magical Capsule” system, where capsules scattered across the map provide a random consumable item when used. Hidden characters from earlier versions, such as Game Boy releases, also appear in this game, increasing exploration and collection elements. The game’s later stages, particularly fortress areas, are challenging, with some players spending months to complete them, offering both difficulty and a strong sense of accomplishment.

Aretha II was well-received in Japan, praised for its enhanced combat system, rich character interactions, strategic equipment synthesis, and challenging gameplay. By combining fantasy adventure, turn-based tactical combat, character growth, and puzzle-solving exploration, the game delivered a deep and engaging RPG experience, solidifying its place as one of the classic titles on the Super Famicom.
