Thinking about getting into this game

I wouldn't even cheat code it I would just hold speed up button and auto attack. Find an area your characters can fight 50+ battles without having to heal, watch tv while running up and down and mashing A or auto battle. In 30 min you'll have plenty of levels and then you'll never die in battle. Rinse and repeat. I was level 30 or so before I fought that first major boss with Katt and Rand.

if the game doesn't add any new dragon forms or extra, then meh.

I guess dragon quarter and the shitty cellphone game killed the BOF series

Yes, it was. Well, that was Fou Lu's battle theme only, I think. It was certainly great. The end of the game has some sick final boss music too.

Beyond the Beyond was my first PS1 game as well. Thos coming off the glorious SNES RPGs set the bar really high. I remember never having a reason to care about the characters or anything.

Gaia may drag at points, but the best part was hunting all those statues or whatever (or golden idols, was it?) to unlock all the best stuff. I love aspects like that throughout action RPGs.

The SoM rom extracted from the nintendo switch collection is supposedly more accurately translated that the original

>I'd say BoF II is A-tier, maybe low A-tier if you wanna compare in Chrono, EarthBound, and Final Fantasy IV and VI, but it's still A-tier somewhere.
Not him but I have to put it in B just from all the back tracking and over world walking. Excellent game but a god damn slog, still have the old cart tho.

Checked.

Yeah the music in BoF2 is really reminiscent of early Capcom and I do like it.

Unfortunately Garr is immortal during the coliseum fight. Balio and Sunder are immortal until Stallion. There is one fight with Balio and Sunder when they initially kidnap Nina in the Windian dungeons that you can force them to flee but it ain't easy.

I liked the coliseum in BoF2. I *LOVED* the coliseum in BoF3. Hell the only time I didn't have fun in the first half of BoF3 is Rhapala. It is the very definition of RPG padding. Game got cool again and stayed cool right through finding Rei. Then the game starts slowly declining.

Oh, they did for sure. I heard DQ wasn't horrible, but I never played it. It got a bad wrap because you were limited in your resources and could lose easily, so it wasn't your standard approach. They could have just made another console game in standard RPG style and we all could have got it back on track.

I only heard about the JPN only cell phone debacle a couple years ago, and it hurt my heart.

Seriously let's get a list going right now of games that got tanked by bad choices that we should have with us today. RPGs only. I'm sure we can come up with a TON more that deserve to be making new iterations to this gay. I'm SICK of all the Final Fantasy shit, those games peaked awhile ago.

Just do it and get it over with, pussy.
