This is a HUGELY underrated gem. Breath of Fire has always been kind of on the back end for some people and this one had the misfortune of coming out in the same year as FFVII. But this entry is a really good time. Clean animations with gorgeous sprites. A great soundtrack with one of my favorite boss themes of the era. And a BANG UP FANTASTIC fishing game. There are some downsides, the story is good but takes a bit to get going. Some puzzles are dumb. And the encounter rate is DUMB high at some points. But its still a fantastic time for anyone into JRPGs
