Absolutely BEAUTIFUL pixel art, holds up incredibly well even 20+ years later. Love the combo system and the diverse cast of memorable characters (Scias!), but man is the story ever mired in so many needless distractions and pointless errand running. Enough minigames already, argh!

Still, I had fun with this, despite it feeling like a slight step down from parts II and III. More BoF games plz?... someone?... anyone?...
