I haven't played it, but I remember a review in the N-Zone when it came out for the GBA. I'm not sure if I'm confusing it with BoF I now, but I think they wrote it is good game with a very interesting story and good characters, still worth a purchase today. Biggest problem is that you run into a fight too often. Their score was around 84 % I think.

BoF II?!? VC?!?!?! Must get. Very fun RPG. Best part is building your own city. :D

 May I suggest *cough*emulation*cough*, but then buying the VC game if you like what you see, and then your *cough*ROM*cough* would just be a "copy for personal use" (and sprite ripping, which is okay, if used only for entertainment purposes).

sweet game, if you like SNES RPGs i think it is one of my top 5 (which is good because the competition is tough). If you don't like the old turn based style or SNES graphics then don't get it, RPGs have changed a lot since then.

I remember having a BoF game (don't remember the number, been a while) and I remember loving it. Not that helpful I suppose, but if there's only 1 BoF game on the SNES then it might help a little.

I recommend it. I think you should play BoF 1 first. Dragon Quarter for the PS2 was hardcore. Really good game, hated by the n00bies for its difficulty.

the english translation was horrible and should make for a few good laughs along the way. I rented once years ago and remember enjoying it. I think the first one is better.

I remember enjoying both BoF 1 and 2. I really did miss playing these games. I did not realize that they released 3 more afterwards for the PS. But I think with a lot of the old RPGs on the SNES you need the nostalgia factor to really stay interested. That is unless you are a hard-core old school RPG fanatic.

I just downloaded Breath of Fire 2 on ROM recently to try to re-beat it. I never finished it. I own an actual copy of BOF back from launch (both 1 and 2 for SNES).

BOF 1 and 2 are insanely good games. They're similar turn based fare like Final Fantasy, but the art direction is more similar to Dragon Quest. It's a rather difficult RPG, and there are TONS of side quests, and things to do.

It's certainly one of the better SNES RPGs out there. IMO, I prefered BOF1 since it started alot of stuff (9 party members, character switching, ultimate forms with uber-powers).

I'd highly reccomend it. It's atleast a 30+hr MQ with plenty for SQ duties. Graphics are top-notch, on part with Chrono Trigger, Star Ocean and Tales of Phantasia.

BoF II was a great game, thanks for reminding me of this gem.
