VIRGIN-SENPAI
Been playing Breath of Fire 2 on my Switch while waiting for other games to come out and despite it having the worst translation I've ever seen I keep getting sucked into it???
VIRGIN-SENPAI
I think SNES jrpgs just resonate with my soul or something
VIRGIN-SENPAI
I wish more of them were available onthe virtual console. but I think I'll play Earthbound again next
00000000
Translation aside I think BoF2 is a pretty solid game (I've actually been playing it on my 3DS)
Joy
oh bof2 is a blast from the past
VIRGIN-SENPAI
00000000
: Yeah, I mean the combat is pretty good despite a couple of bugs in the system and I do like the story so far, it's just. man. those bugs
VIRGIN-SENPAI
it also severely needs better QOL but, well, the virtual console is straight ports so none of that. I've heard the GBA version fixed a lot of the QOL issues
00000000
Except for the translation
VIRGIN-SENPAI
but since the switch virtual console has save states and rewind, I've just been abusing those to avoid headaches
VIRGIN-SENPAI
yeah lol they never fixed that
VIRGIN-SENPAI
I think it's been patched in roms, but that's a fan effort
00000000
Yeah, if you want a coherent version of the game, you need a rom
VIRGIN-SENPAI
I've been playing roms since I was a wee childe so I know how all that works but eh, I'm getting close to endgame, might as well just finish it here
00000000
I've been running around trying to get a monster to drop a MamothCL for Katt. It's something to do when I'm sleepy
00000000
(I have made no headway on this, but Rand has one now and also he's level 70)
VIRGIN-SENPAI
hgfkjsl LOL that level!!!
VIRGIN-SENPAI
I just got to the part where you're inside the tree's memory and my guys are like... around 22-25?
VIRGIN-SENPAI
I know they tripled exp output for the GBA port
00000000
In (slight) fairness, I'm just past Evrai and putting off advancing the plot
VIRGIN-SENPAI
I hate grinding and avoid it at all costs and I don't hunt for rare drops. I've just been dealing with the diificutly mostly with save states
VIRGIN-SENPAI
if I didn't have them I probably would have quit, there are so many points where like, you have to choose a path and it turns out to be a dead end or something and I'm just like REWIND TIME
VIRGIN-SENPAI
died to a random mob? REWIND TIME
VIRGIN-SENPAI
bought something I didn't really need? REWIND TIME
Joy
Yeah you will want to grind at the end
00000000
I actually find level-grinding soothing a lot of the time, because it gives me something to focus on without requiring me to focus too hard. But a high enemy encounter rate is annoying when I'm trying to actually get somewhere
VIRGIN-SENPAI
hey, if that's what you like, more power to you! I like trying to get by on the lowest level possible, I like the challenge
Calliente
I think I played the original Breath of Fire recently, I need to play 2 now
VIRGIN-SENPAI
I took a look at the first one too, I might try that next
Joy
Yeah that ones fun too. Id also recc 3 and 4 if you never touched those
