It's not great.
2 is a much better game, and for all the bad game design in it I noticed when I replayed it recently, it's full of SOVL with charming graphics, cool music, and interesting character and location designs.
Yeah that intro sucks and takes forever and the game is super generic and dull and the bosses having hp past their health bars never stopped pissing me off. Presentation-wise the game was nice. The music too wasn't bad even if that one song sounded like the Terminator theme.
THis is one of the rare cases where the american/european version of the box art looks better (or at least is more dynamic and interesting) than the original
Breath isn't one of my favorites but I do have some extremely cozy memories playing it while snowed in one year. It's basically Capcom saying "Hey, let's do Dragon Quest!" but feels way too late.
I think there's some nostalgic charm to the 90s comic book art style of the western version of the game but seriously, Bow looks like he has rabies now. BoF II is a pretty flawed game but it has some gorgeous art and character designs so I think I prefer the Japanese box art.
I enjoyed it and played it through twice. Once back in in the 90s and my roomie nuked the save just before I finished and one time about 20 years ago when I hurt my back and just wanted to kill some time.
It was Capcom's first try at making a JRPG so naturally it's kinda generic. Having a bunch of anthro animals as party members was cool though.
BoF2 was basically just the first game but better even though it's still fairly generic and grindy.
One of the rare jarpigs that lets you swap out your characters mid combat so it gets a gold star in my book. Still mad that the sequel removed everything interesting about its combat system

You don't say

I'd agree a bit only because one time I jerked off to Bof2 Nina and was one of the best wanks I've had.
What the fugg
Marry Nina
Breed Katt
ez
And her scene in the "Bad" ending is the best along with Bow's
>cookie cutter snes rpg
boring you say??
Should I play the SNES or GBA version?
Apparently in the GBA you level up much faster, but people say some graphics and the sounds are better on the SNES

Destiny of and Emporor 1 and 2 and Sweet Home predates it. I believe it was all the same team who worked on those and it shows. I love all of them.
Destiny of an Emperor might be the secret best NES RPG.
only if you're talking about "NES" RPGs and not "Famicom" RPGs
breath of fire is an extremely generic series until bof5, which fans inexplicably hate. bof4 does look nice though.
The only good BoF game is 4.
Actually 4 is not just good it's fantastic.
Fortunately they improved the formula for the fantastic sequel.
I didn't like that 2 made the dragon transformations into summons that ate all your AP. I did like that every female in the game had the hots for Ryu.

I'm still mad dragon transformations went from being borderline OP actual transformations to one shot nukes that consume ALL of your AP.
