Capcom's second Breath of Fire arrived on the Super Famicom in 1994 and in North America the following year, this time published by Capcom itself after Square had handled the first game's English release. Set centuries after the original, it again follows a blue-haired boy named Ryu who can turn into dragons, alongside the dog-like thief Bow. What begins as a small story about an orphan grows into a darker plot about a powerful church and the god it worships.
It keeps the turn-based battles of its predecessor but adds ideas that gave the series its identity: a township that slowly fills with residents you recruit on your travels, shamans who fuse with party members to change their forms and stats, and a fishing minigame with its own rewards. The English translation is famously rough, but the art, music and ambition made it a favorite of the era, and Capcom later ported it to the Game Boy Advance.
Tips for Breath of Fire II
Ryu's dragon forms use up his remaining AP, and their strength scales with how much he has, so cast them with a full bar.
Recruit every potential township resident you find, since new citizens unlock shops and services.
Fish whenever a spot appears; some valuable items are only obtainable that way.
