/vr/ - Retro Games

Heh.

>>2973380
4 > 2 > 3 > 1 > 5 > dogshit > 6

Jesus, I had forgotten about the SNES box art. I miss the days when American companies tried to make Conan the Barbarian out of blue haired anime men.

I wonder how much it would piss off weebs if they tried that for the next Persona game

3>1>4>2>5 for me. I could give you a number of contributing factors but no single solid reason why I love 3 the best. That game is just max-tier comfy for me.

>>2973386
>acknowledging the existence of 6

I think I might agree with the rest of your rankings, though I might put 4 and 2 on equal footing. Let's hang out sometime.

>>2974542
3 is also my favorite. It's just really relaxing, music and all. I also think about that Australian dolphin and laugh to this day.

>>2976386
Nice usage of AM.

>>2976425
>>2976386
>>2974542
Man I tried to play 3 again last year (didn't like it much the first time I played it to completion in the late 90's). Still couldn't get into it and dropped it before Ryu became an adult.

I don't know what it is...

>>2979298
TOO LEWD

>>2979298
sauce?

>>2973385
you can do 1 to 4 in one run but it requires a perfect performance and leveling all your characters to max with kokon horay party exp

>>2973380

I played Breath of Fire I & II on the GBA. I thought they were some of the best games I've ever played.

I liked Breath of Fire I better.

Breath of Fire II was more of a kiddy game, but it was still fun.

All the others are total dogshit because 3D is for faggots.

>>2973386

lol that someone else is using the word "dogshit" to describe the 3D games.

>>2979417
That's not what he did at all. Do you need to learn about reading comprehension?

>>2979429

6 is 3D, and it's dogshit. What's your point, Jigaboo?

>>2979298
One of these days you're going to have to post the whole picture.

>>2974542 >>2976425

I love 3, but the music was caught in that weird mid-to-late-nineties synth/jazzy phase Capcom underwent; never understood it. It would be a pretty darn perfect game with a proper fantasy soundtrack

>>2979417
>II was more of a kiddy game
The opposite. BoF 2 had a far more mature plot and more thought provoking themes than the first game. The problem was that it was handled by Capcom's shitty in house translators instead of outsourced to Squaresoft like the first game, and the English script ended up as a hilariously childish garbled mess. They couldn't even be assed to fix it for the GBA port.

>>2980503
Man, that looks good. BoF should have just stuck with what IV injected into it and evolved into a JRPG series with heavy far Eastern mythology and aesthetic. DQ should have been the experiment it was with a different branding entirely and VI simply should not have existed.

Why is Capcom so shit.

>>2974542
I finished 3 about half a year ago and loved it. Rei's words to the final boss were perfect. Also, I named the protag "Roy" to distinguish him from the more eastern-looking Ryu in 4.

Anybody notice that Momo's little automaton says "Oy Vey" when you crash your little boat into the Black Ship? You have to talk to the little guy to see it, and I'm sure that's the only time it ever talked throughout the game. I thought that was a funny little nod indicating that the game takes place in the far, far future of a world like our own.

I had a very hard time beating the Zombie Dragon because I equipped the sword that you find in the same room as him, instead of the fire sword which hits his weakness. I loved the feeling of Accession in 3, accompanied by that scream. There's nothing like giving yourself a full HP bar by transforming, and then getting beat down more, and then using restoratives to trance again, and so on... one of the most exciting moments in any game I've played.

>>2982196
3 was my first. I had heard about being able to turn into a dragon, and was a little skeptical of that whole process, but I remember the first time I transformed into something other than a whelp. Oh fuck did that feel good. Everything else in the game is great. The system of having masters to gain stat boosts in certain areas more than others was a nice touch that I really liked. I wont go into any more details, but its definately a solid game.

>>2973380
Holy shit that box art!

>>2976440
same for me. i was a complete fanboy of 2 when 3 was released, got it for my birthday, and got bored halfway through. the story and characters were just bland

>>2980841
VI should have been something like dragon's dogma, but in BoF universe. that might have saved video games desu

>>2983103
VI should have been something like a normal JRPG without a bunch of bullshit.

>what did go right
>besides Katt

>>2973380
Dragon Quarter is NOT retro. Fuck off.

>>2983386
Then congrats on being the first person to actually talk about it by name. Only one other person even referred to it and only vaguely.

Do you have mental illness? Why else would you be so compelled to look for something so minor to nitpick? This doesn't seem like normal behavior.

>>2976440
It's dull, repetitive and even though the world is painfully small it's a pain in the ass to navigate (making the Master system an absolute hassle).
Story feels like a lot less dramatic version of 2's story.

Fun fact: If you let Momo instead of Peko with Balio and Sunder before you start the tournament she says "i heard them saying they are going to do xx to me and then xxx me", suggesting that they are going to sexually toy with and rape her.

Momo is best waifu.

I love Dragon Quarter. It's even better when you play it on PCSX2 and use save states, since the save system is arguably the game's biggest fault.

Not touching actual games for a good time, if not for ever.

Does anyone want to post his strats in 5?

So apparently the PC port of Dragon's Dogma is Capcom's fastest-selling PC game ever. Makes me wonder if this will encourage them to port certain other games over to PC...

>>2987292
That's probably because Dragon's Dogma is legitimately one of the best games of the last 10 years.

>>2987302
Is it better than their Monster Hunter games?

>>2987315
Apples and oranges.

>>2987302
I couldn't get into it. Maybe I was playing it wrong.

>>2984441
I didn't like it much. Bored the shit out of me. The game just doesn't know how to make the plot events feel urgent

Incorrect. There was a time when you could have anthropomorphic characters and not have anything to do with furries.

Fuck off

>>2988376
Just because it wasn't furshit then doesn't mean it's not furshit now.

>>2988391

>>2988413
Ryu's human form looks 100% human, Nina only has wings (she might as well just be an angel), Momo just has bunny ears. The only one you listed that could count as furshit is Katt.

>>2991070
desu bof is furry as fuck
i'm not listing all the animals should be obvious

>>2991076
Even the one character lacking in animal parts is a dragonkin deep down.

>Capcom will never remake BoF2 using these sprites

>>2991264
They're a little thick, don't you think?

>>2991264
What if I want a 3D game that plays nothing like the original and doesn't have as much filler?

>>2991273
Man the GBA BOF2 interface was such an abomination.

>>2991337
It wasn't. What are you smoking?

>>2991218
Please tell me there's a sprite sheet like this for their shamanized forms.

>>2991339
>It wasn't.

OK, but it was. It's too crowded with shit.

>>2991340
There isn't.

>>2991334
>doesn't have as much filler?
Get the fuck out you wank. BOF2 is not BOF2 unless the main plot shows up at the last 8th of the game after you've already traveled the world and courted every monarchy in the land with a combination of fly pudding and weight loss surgery.

>>2991345
Nah, it isn't. There you can actually differentiate which character you give commands to, where's HP and where's AP. Also portraits. Not just one plain panel.

>>2979298
I've checked pixiv and gelbooru, neither have it that I saw.

Is there more to that one?

Not the guy but I preferred the gba interface to even the fan patch one. You have to scroll through pages to get to most stuff in the fan patch. Also in the gba you get portraits and disproportionately blown up sprites due to the low resolution. I like it.

I wish I'd played this game, at least 1 and 2.
I'm so far behind on my jrpg backlog.

Now I'd have to shell out nearly 200 quid for it.

>>2991709
It's an ecchi in respect of Katt.

>>2991893
It's not really worth it outside the character designs. The translation doesn't even make much sense.

>>2991910
There is a retranslation patch.

>>2991893
Play it on PC on emulator, fool. It's much better that way.

>>2985556
I love Dragon Quarter too, but I think the save system was integral to the experience. It feels like choosing whether or not to use d-dive carries a whole lot more weight when you stand to lose real progress as a consequence.

>>2991893
just emul8 m8

I started at 2, loved it, loved 3 somewhat even more, loved 4, and then when I saw my friend playing 5 I renounced the series. I didn't even know 6 existed until this thread. I'm glad I found out it was shit before trying to play it and discovering it the hard way.

I would say that it DID get right the quasi-lighthearted tone, character development, village building, fighting system (each character is unique), and story. Really wish there was more expandability to building your home village/base, because I just loved it so much.

>I would say that it DID get right the quasi-lighthearted tone, character development, village building, fighting system (each character is unique), and story. Really wish there was more expandability to building your home village/base, because I just loved it so much.

Which game are you talking about right now?

Best girl has some nice titties.

>BoF4 meme
The game blows. Here's why

>Fou-Lu: This is Capcom's attempt at drawing Final Fantasy fangirls to Breath of Fire by throwing in a character that looks and acts exactly like Sephiroth.

>you play as him at regular intervals whenever Ryu is unconscious, much like the Laguna dream sequences in the equally disappointing Final Fantasy VIII. These sequences are extremely tedious and a lot more angsty and melodramatic

>many of the gameplay elements have been dumbed down or removed entirely. Those skills characters used to have that made them a crucial asset to making progress? Gone. A few of the characters still have skills they can use in the field, but none of these are crucial to advancing in your quest or plundering hidden treasures. Most of the dungeon puzzles where those skills came in handy are also gone. No longer is Breath of Fire chuck full of enjoyable puzzles the likes of Zelda. Now its dungeons are simply places to get into battles, like any other RPG.

>Also disappointing is Ryu's new means of transforming into a dragon. He still has to find pieces of chrysm with dragon genes inside them, but the dragon gene system is completely gone. Now, once you find a dragon gene, you can simply use it to transform into a.. no, not a dragon, just a scaly guy. That's right, a scaly guy with wings and chicken feet.

>Even graphically, Breath of Fire IV is a major step down. The new artwork is dull. The design of the world is a lot more generic, following more typical medieval and oriental motifs rather than the wonderful uses of culture the previous games in the series had.

>Now, most of the bosses are hideous polygonal models that look like something out of a first generation Saturn game. The owl boss looks particularly silly, as it's pretty much a hexagonal log with wings.

>>2995015
and finally

>Not even the music was spared mediocrity in this installment. The original jazzy style, like everything else that made the previous games cool, is gone. Now it uses boring orchestral tunes with weak composition, and some really awful house techno with middle-eastern vocals strewn about.

Simply put, BoF4 throws away everything unique about BoF1, 2 and 3 which made the series memorable and great. It's an ultimately subpar generic RPG experience with the BoF name tacked on. The real BoF series ended with 3.

>>2995019
>1 2 and 3
>having anything "unique" at all

the series didn't get unique till 4 when it stopped with the generic medieval fantasy

You know what someone needs to say it already.

FUCK THE GENE SYSTEM.

What the hell do you niggas thing you where actually doing with that? You weren't making unique dragons. You weren't doing someone creative.

All you did was Form + Element. It's the same shit from the previous games just with an extra step attached to it.

What's the real difference between opening your spell menu, picking the frost dragon and casting it immediatly and opening the menu, picking frost gene picking dragon form and then adding a filler gene whose skills you wont use at all.

The later is more work. The whole thing went to shit anyways once you got kaiser and myrmadon working.

Yeah 4 might have had less dragons but given how many of 3s where out right useless or never even seen Id rather take the smaller more useful bunch any day.

Fuck the gene system and fuck breath of fire 3

>>2996031
>confirmed for have never played BoF

>>2996065

they where woefully generic even for their time. Mash X to win with a bare bones plot. Yes even two was largely just a tangentially related string of events that had no real driving focus till the tail end of the game

>>2980503
i still listen to that OST pretty regularly lol
idk why but it's one of those OSTs that stuck with me from my childhood.
yeah it's weird but it's chill AF. that game just has a lot of good memories attached.

i played through it once in 3 days and barely slept. i jerked off once but didnt drain my dick of all the cum and the next day i pissed out blood and my dick burned for like 3 days but i was too embarrassed to see a doctor. luckily it didn't do any permanent damage

>>2996770
what. i hope no one asks you about bof3 in public if thats what you've got to share about it

>>2996770
>>2996773

Im beginning to wonder if we ever had nice BOF threds

>>2984339
>What does ドギガ even mean?

"Dogiga" has kind of a dual meaning, in this situation.

Giga is huge, and "do" (in hiragana or katakana) is sometimes used before a word to put added emphasis on it.

Something like "super huge" in this case.

Dogiga is also what the strongest wind/fire hybrid spell is called in Japanese, and those are explosive in nature.

Mega > Domega > Dogiga

So, super huge or explosive, take your pick.

>>2984314

I know for a fact Katt's tits used to be bigger. That GBA art was an eyesore

I am waiting for the younger generation to get old enough to start demanding the retro aesthetic THEY grew up with: Low Poly 3D. I am from the 8/16-bit generation, but I miss the Saturn and Playstation look

>>2996890
They... already are. It's never going to happen, most 20 year olds these days grew up with the playstation 2 (2001 was 15 years ago).

>>2997402
those abs are horrifying

>>2980779
This. BoF2 was by far the most mature of episodes.

Fishing minigames? Fishing minigames.

Loved 3 and 4. Never finished either though... 4, just past the dam I think. 3, the Coliseum.

>>2976440
Might have been the dungeon under Nina's castle. I always found that to be quite the plod, especially without Teepo and Rei.

I don't know if the games really are all THAT ground-breaking in terms of storytelling -- however, they really do a very solid job of codifying tropes at the time. It didn't need to be super-original, because it took other things that had been done before and polished them to a mirror sheen.

The story is one thing, how you go about telling it is another, right?

I thought they were pretty great. It was pretty rare for me to rent a game more than once from my local VHS store.

I really loved the random encounters traveling between areas, and hunting for the items in the semi-randomized spawns in those little bags. The campground stuff. The art, of course, amazing. The abilities and the stealing and whatnot. Gene system. The Examine and skill system.

Yeah. Pretty great stuff. Fishing minigames... though I could never get the beat right in 4. Just like in Mother 3.

Wish I could justify blowing the kind of time I used to grinding away at JRPGs.

>>2998239
Ofc BoF2 is mature, no argument there. Just look at how Katt styles. Parental advisory.

>>2998286
>Wish I could justify blowing the kind of time I used to grinding away at JRPGs.

Do you have less time now, or are you just less patient?

Personally I have more free time now since I no longer have to study or do homework, but the idea of playing a game for a couple hours straight just doesn't enter into my mindset anymore. There are so many other things I want to do - fuck around on the internet, spend time with my wife, play other games... plus I have an unending list of shit that needs to be done around the house.

>>2973380
>Breath of Fire thread.
would i be missing out on anything major if i played 3 and 4 and then went back to 1 and 2 later on? my backlog is pretty full as it is and i hear those two are the best ones.

>>2999156
shit i didnt even mean to greentext

>>2999156
2 and 3 are the best ones, though.

>>2999156
2, 3, and 4 are the best ones. This is widely accepted. You should start with either 1 (if you want to be a completionist) or 2 (if you want to skip the chaff and get right to the good stuff).

Certain parts of 2 might require some grinding, so I'd play it on an emulator to speed things up.

>>2999178
>>2999267
ok thanks i might start on 1 afterall, how long of games are they if you had to ballpark it?

>>2999267
>so I'd play it on an emulator to speed things up.
Lots of this. BoF has long ass animations and a very high encounter rate. However I will add that for BoF2, if you know what you're doing, you can get way over leveled when you're only 1/4th of the way through the game and ride on that all the way to late game. This is pretty recommended because of how often you have to switch out party members you like for ones the game forces you to have, like Jean or Rand. Point is that there is a lot of grind but it's of the kind you can get out of the way early and then just stomp shit the rest of the game.

>>2995015
>>Fou-Lu: This is Capcom's attempt at drawing Final Fantasy fangirls to Breath of Fire by throwing in a character that looks and acts exactly like Sephiroth.

I was curious, but just about stopped reading after this. Fou Lu is nothing at all like Sephiroth. Then your other points are even more ridiculous.

>>3000227
>Fou Lu is nothing at all like Sephiroth
Denial is strong in this one
Just do a google search of fou lu and sephiroth. You'll see how many autist crossovers they have by mutual fanboys.

>>3000238
They're both antagonists, but I found Fou Lu a very interesting character. Sephiroth barely has any real character development at all. At least in FFVII. I haven't played or seen any of the new FFVII related stuff.

That they both have fanbases is irrelevant. I don't care what people other than me may or may not want to fawn over.

Both that and comparing the Fou Lu bits to the Laguna segments just makes it seem like you only played a tiny handful of RPGs and they all look the same to you.

I semi agree with you on the gameplay, but I didn't ever think the puzzles were great anyways. Everything else is just opinion. I think IV looks visually far better than III. The polugon bosses looked great and I love the music.

Which isn't to say you have to agree, but your opinion is far from universal.

>>3000260
>The polugon bosses looked great

>epic burn m8
Yeah right, dumbass. Where did I do that?
Was it the part with kek? loool you're such an anal pained idiot.

>>3002278
II was nothing but good tracks but some of them were reused so often and in so many different locations they were ruined. The same track should not be playing inside of a damp cave, so mildly shaded woods, and the inside of a person's stomach. And then there are some really great tracks that don't get used enough.

>>3002278
It pains me to compliment BOFDQ but it definitely had the best OST out of all of them:

>implying we know what you're talking about

>>3003130
I am talking about designs of Ryu, Nina and Lin closely resembling Simon from Gurren Lagann, some loli I coundn't care less about from some other anime I coundn't care less about, one heroine from Jet Set Radio correspondingly. I have to apologize for misusing words. Simon, loli, chick did cameos, they are not cameos themselves, because the term refers to the action, not the subject of the action. But you have to do so either for being a cherry-picking narrow-minded prick (yes, yes, a combination of those). You could have easily guessed that by the theme. Not everyone has a hobby of being interested in pop and entertainment cultures, their terminology autistically enough.

>>3003473
Gurren Lagann came out in 2007

>>3003473
>I am talking about designs of Ryu, Nina and Lin closely resembling Simon from Gurren Lagann

"I don't carry the burden of the statement I made in my second post because I retold it. So go address your proofs elsewhere."

Is it more clear in your head now, my friend?

>>3003598
what the fuck are you even talking about

>>3003494
>>3003542

Does the fact that Dragon Quarter came out 5 years before Gurren Laggaan mean anything to you?

>>3003640

Ill kill you for not saying nice things about Quarter

the game was fantastic

>>3003640
It's not a terrible game.

It's just not what people were expecting, AT ALL, from a series that up until then had been good standard JRPG fare.

It does take a lot of unlearning to get it's battle system though, and the SoL system could be better implemented too.

Then, of course, the matter of capcom having been looking for any excuse to axe anything that wasn't Street Fighter or "_ vrs" series...

>>3003660
I don't think anyone has had anything from /vr/ to consider as an insult, as the board is famous for its low-intelligent posters, technology and anything else-wise. And for being one of the most bait-able, also. I just need to adjust my power accordingly to you utter fucking retards.

It was pretty good for what it was... it just wasn't a BoF game.

If they had titled it something else - or just called it Dragon Quarter and given names other than Ryu and Nina to two of the characters - I think the overall reception of it would have been much more positive.

>>3003775
>1 and 3 that low

Are there any benefits of BoF3 on the PSP or should I just play the PS1 version?

>>3005146
Wider resolution and better loading times. That's literally it.

>>3005065
Just my personal opinions. I know some people love the shit out of 3.

I've started my first low level run in BoF 3, currently with Ryu at lv7 in the contest of champions. Is Giotto a good master to have for the whole game? His HP/AP boost seems nice, but I've seen a lot of people going after Ladon instead.

Also, pic related is the actual dialogue of >>2984304

>>3003775

Breath of Fire 5 is the best one because the combat engine plays like a Fallout game instead of a Final Fantasy rip-off.

I think the load times are pretty bad on PSP. I am playing it now and it's quite laggy...

ok

BoF 1 is severly underappreciated. Great graphics, kick ass music, great characters, and it has charm. In fact, I like 1 better than 2 even though 2 is the best one on paper. But I found it just lacks something, I never got into it as much as I did with the first one.

It pains me how BoF 1 never gets any love.

>>3006231
>Great graphics

not really

>kick ass music

Ill give ya that

>great characters

No. They where barely character at all. They where all just personalty less little things that followed you

>>3006339
Come on, you're some kind of youngfag or what? When the game came out everyone thought the dungeons, sprites, battle effects and transformations looked cool as fuck. The game was released in 93 ffs.
And sure the characters development was thin (still deeper than Secret of Mana which came out the same year) but they were cool as fuck.

I remember the game being on attract mode at the local vidya shop and everyone thought it looked amazing.

>>3006383
>please like my FEATUREless game

>>3006383
BOF1 was just a typical 16bit JRPG. There really wasn't much special about it.

2 added a few things (township building, shamans, better/more interesting characters, a MUCH better story, etc) which makes it stand out. The first one was good; the second was great (at the time).

Why are they shit, exactly? Never played V or VI.

>>3011597
Autism, mostly. Mechanically and thematically, everything is better in 4 and 5.

>>3011610
You're kidding right? In IV you can't even mix any of the genes to get different results, not to mention that they all look exactly the same outside the cutscene attack.

And in V, you are downright DISCOURAGED from entering dragon form, in a series that is almost entirely revolving around a character who can turn into a dragon, not to mention, that it again is a garbage design that looks even less like something meant to be a dragon, than the ones in IV.

Welp, now I feel like replaying BoF 3 again. What's the best master for Ryu early on? I usually always become Bunyan's apprentice and stick with him until like mid game.

This track is great btw

>>3011634
Let it be known that the OST for BF3 is 10/10. But I have to say that Everyday Battle is the best song in the game. And it plays the most...

>>3011632
Turning into a Dragon in 5 is in fact the most fun, because it requires a real, psychological, emotional commitment from the player (weighed out in the number of hours they've invested in their playthrough,) in exchange for the absolutely devastating power you can get which almost certainly should end every single battle you use it on in a single a turn.

What you want is a superficial visual change that lets you sync up with the roleplay you want in your head. The actual mechanics of dragon changes in the third game are shit, more than half of them have no useful purpose in the game, and all of the ones you actually will use are the hybrid dragon form you claim to hate or the specific combinations that provide unique looking dragons which makes the gene system irrelevant, especially once you put them in a list which is exactly what the 4th game gives you. A list of all the transformations that were going to be the only ones you would use anyway, and fuck all the other ones.

>>3011646
It would honestly be harder to find bad tracks in this series than good ones

>>3011651
No, most people would simply choose to never use it at all when it has that kind of potential drawback, or just reload if possible, or otherwise get screwed. It's not fun, it's tedious.

And I won't argue the second point, but the way it was dine was lazy as hell and completely boring.

>>3010434
Are you, by any chance, retarded?

>>3011632
>And in V, you are downright DISCOURAGED from entering dragon form,


and it was also the single strongest Dragon Form the series has ever seen.

You're whining because the win button has a limitation.

>>3011791

>No, most people would simply choose to never use it at all when it has that kind of potential drawback, or just reload if possible, or otherwise get screwed. It's not fun, it's tedious.

So wah wah wah the game expects you to learn how to actually play and not just spam cheap win attacks.

>>3012198
You sure made his argument look bad by shitposting.

>>3011632
>And in V, you are downright DISCOURAGED from entering
This is the worst part of the game, especially if you're an Elixir holder type.

There's no reason to listen to the game. You should dragon form all the fucking time. It's great. You do it, and then you restart the game from your last save more powerful than before.

The combat besides that was great, and you couldn't grind like you can in normal jRPGs. It was refreshing to me at the time. Worst thing is how they told you not to use the dragon, but you really needed to.

>>3012257

He would need to HAVE an argument for that to happen.


>>3012306
>but you really needed to.

Not if you got good. Even the bosses with absolute defense could be beaten sans dragon

Love them all but 4 is probably the easiest to follow and great time killer.

>>3012312
I read your bullshit as saying you could beat them without using SoL OR d-dive, and finally just decided you're full of shit or half-button press counting autist.

Either way, you're sick. It's like saying you could beat super Metroid without using missiles or super missiles except for whatever one or two doors you can't sequence break.

Okay, why would you though? The point is it's retarded. It's a vital game mechanic, and the game DOES expect you to use it to have a normal play through, assuming you're not some crazy autist adhering to bizarre notfun conducts.
The game strongly discourages you from using it, but when you actually start using it, the game gets a thousand times more fun.

>>3012370
>I read your bullshit as saying you could beat them without using SoL OR d-dive, and finally just decided you're full of shit or half-button press counting autist.

And I read your bullshit as someone who spent 4 cames pressing X to win and couldn't handle a game that took actual thought and effort

>Either way, you're sick. It's like saying you could beat super Metroid without using missiles or super missiles except for whatever one or two doors you can't sequence break.

No it's not.

>The point is it's retarded. It's a vital game mechanic, and the game DOES expect you to use it to have a normal play through, assuming you're not some crazy autist adhering to bizarre notfun conducts.

Yeah and so long as you're not spamming it on mobs and regular bosses by the time you get to the rough ones you're gonna have more than enough to go to town.

>The game strongly discourages you from using it, but when you actually start using it, the game gets a thousand times more fun.


What the game does is encourage you to use it more sparingly and save it for a genuine emergency and when you do use it's all the more satisfying BECAUSE you don't just spam it like you did the old dragon forms

>>3012125
>I can't write properly or admit to my typos

>>3012370
There are two main ways of beating the Absolute Defense barrier bosses;

the first is to use Ryu, in which case you will stack all your AP and party exp and whatnot on him, and mostly you'll either spam your strongest whatever attacks and think the game is bullshit, or you'll use the attack that deals damage in proportion to the amount of HP you've lost and actually have to figure the game out.

Shit maybe you can even work a combo in there to raise the damage multiplier.

The second way is to use Lyn, which is the way I prefer, because all you need to do is stack up your combo multiplier with her, working one of the vacuum combos into the chain, then blowout the rest of your AP on Shatter! which does more damage the closer you are to the enemy (as in like 400-600 damage.)

So no you don't really have to be autistic, you just have to have some sort of basic attentiveness and intelligence to be able to play the game properly.

>>3013996
Okay, whatever faggot.
Your probably that fucking katt autist aren't you? Boy that shit sure looks fun.

>>3013715
>why did some typo made you

It's not very common, but, nevertheless, you can't really bitch about one sole instance of non-straightforward English. Every_thing should be understandable.

A: Somehow not even remotely sexy.
B: "Somehow" has roots in you and its scope is just one interpretation.
Seek the reasons for it being "not even remotely sexy" inside of yourself, because no one else I know is thinking the same way. It's just your opinion, it changes nothing, and I am glad so.

This means there's no reason to play GBA BoF2 anymore.

>>3019001
I always thought she was some sort of elf.

>>3006231
Hey, you're not the only one. I thought the soundtrack of 1 was better and more epic than 2. Unfortunately >>3006339 is a bit right on the characters (even if I liked them more than the second), and the graphics were alright.

The exploration in BoF1 wrecks 2, though. Aside from the final dungeon in 2 (which sucks ass), everything's a bit too easy, and until you get the whale, the world maps a bit more limited, too. In BoF1, once you got Bo, there was a hell of a lot more to explore.

The character and story in BoF2 (along with the city building, the shaman system, etc) makes up for it all though.

>>3019890
Nope, fox. With the tail and everything.

>>3019853
Holy shit, this is great. Timely, too... makes me wonder if the guy who programmed it is stalking this thread (or the BOF2 thread).

Katt can solo the game.

>>3022349
I don't believe I have that picture.

>>3019954
Seems to me that every BOF game does two or three things very well, but none of the games ever quite nail the whole package.

I loved the shit out of the shaman system in 2. Can you imagine if they had brought it back for the 4th game and applied different models/pallettes/designs to those characters and those gorgeous sprites? Man...

>>3023457
4's sprites look like ass

>>3023495
"No"

>>3023495
I agree with this. I like Breath of Fire 4, but Breath of Fire 3 looks way better. Hell, Breath of Fire 2 even looks better.

>>3024726
The color palette in IV was too muted and brown, I'll admit. The sprite animations were off the hook though.

First game was a masterpiece.It had great music and an awesome end game. Lots of things you could miss if you don't use a guide. I've played through it at least 3 times, and have seen both (I think there's only 2) endings. 2nd was OK. I beat it once, a little over 10 years ago. Never put in more than a couple hours on anything after that.

It's a tie between 3/4 for me. I tend to lean toward IV though because the styling is more coherent to the content of the game.

I got your back senpai.

Here's something that has bothered my about BoF2. Every time I've made it to the spot where Shin the Devil Shaman is supposed to be (left entrance of the final dungeon) she is never there. This happened the first time I played through the game almost 20 years ago... and I remember following the strategy guide I had to the letter and no Shin. This completely killed my drive to complete the game so I ended up setting it down for a while. At some point I picked it back up and started a new game and made it back to the same exact spot and no Devil Shaman yet AGAIN. This time I followed some FAQ from the internet and got the same result. So I guess my question is... how do you get her to appear? Is there something I did (or didn't do) that would trigger her to not show up? Played on the original cart. Suppose there is an extremely small chance that I got a bum cart or something?

>>3038630
I've never heard of that before. Shin is one of the completely unmissable shamans.

>>3038630
IIRC, I went to her place just after the seal on it got broken and she was there.

Can you copy your save to PC and test it with a ROM in the Internet?

Then again, it's pretty shitty not to have shamanized Katt.

I frigin loved he gameboy advanced games. I remember renting that ps2 one as well. A lot different if I remember correctly though.

>>3038630
Weird.
As far I know, the only missable Shaman is the Earth Shaman.

>>3039332
This is correct.

It makes me wonder if this dude >>3038630 is just doing it wrong... you have to go to the far-left entrance of Infinity to get to Shin.

Hey >>3038630, you took the entrance that leads to this platform, right? And she wasn't there?

>>3039713

>>3039349
Yep. Being that its right there at the beginning of the dungeon I explored every single spot that she conceivably could be. I've abandoned 2 runs of the game right at that point, once in the 90's and once in the early 00's. Honestly I find it hard to believe that I could miss her (once following a guide and once following a FAQ) twice when she's supposed to be one of the unmissable shaman. Maybe I'll have better luck through emulating if I ever decide to pick it up again.

>>3040552
most likely, you're retarded and doing something obviously wrong rather than the game mysteriously glitching in a way that no one but you has ever experienced before (and you've apparently experience it multiple times).

I'm placing my bets on you being retarded

>>3040552
I mean it could be a duff cart if there's dirt or dust somewhere on it that it's thinking you've collected her when you haven't. You'd be best off emulating it next time you pick it up, and you'll also be able to use the retranslation.

>>3014562

Out of "your" ignorance maybe?Typo still.

>>3040625
There is nothing to do wrong though. You take the left path and she should just be there. Or alternatively take the right path, ride the platform over to the left and she should be there. Good job on being an edgy little shit though, champ.

it's actually grammatically correct to end a rhetorical question with a period if you're not going to put it in quotation marks

>it's actually grammatically correct to end a rhetorical question with a period if you're not going to put it in quotation marks

That is not true at all. Without the question mark, it is a rhetorical statement, and a badly phrased one if it starts with an interrogative.

>this also makes it very slightly easier on the eyes

That's also not true. Most of what we read is grammatically correct; you typing like that doesn't make anything easier to read - the opposite, actually.
