Breath of Fire II 1994

Is it still worth playing?

Capcom's role playing game, first released in 1994, the second Breath of Fire, later ported to the Game Boy Advance. Set 500 years after the first game, it follows Ryu Bateson, an orphan whose family vanished long ago. It is a traditional role playing game with 2D sprites and environments, seen from a top down perspective, in which you move across towns and dungeons, talking to characters and battling enemies to advance the story. It has a text based menu and a Monster Meter that shows the probability of meeting enemy monsters in an area. Characters have field skills used to access certain areas, destroy objects, avoid traps or move around more easily. A town building feature lets you populate your own village with special characters. Today, a Monster Meter that warns you of fights lets you decide how far to push on.
