the first 5-10 minutes of this game disturb me on such a deep, primal level even now tbh. even despite the bad translation this game still manages to be SO DARK, which is a complete reversal from the generic heroic fantasy tone of the first breath of fire. the final dungeon is a total slog, and it has bad/cheesy moments, but overall i think it's pretty good. the soundtrack is decent--even brilliant in places--but still definitely a downgrade from the masterpiece ost of the first game.
