Breath of Fire II (GBA) Gameplay
8This is the first ten minutes of the GBA port of the classic Snes RPG Breath of Fire II.
I remember renting BoFII back in the day for the Snes, and I remember thinking it was a great game. I missed getting it on the Snes, but luckily, or so I thought, it was later ported tot he GBA, so I didn't have to spend so much money to get the Snes version.
Well it was apparently not to be. You see, though I own the GBA version of Breath of Fire II, in a just my luck scenario, it turns out that my GBA copy of the game will not hold a save. I didn't notice at the time I bought it, and by the time I did notice, it was too late to do anything about it.
I've got 20 year old NES carts that still have their original batteries in them, and that still hold a save, so why oh why won't a GBA cart that was released in 2002, hold a save? It's just a little frustrating to me. I'm sure there's a way to change out a battery on a GBA cart, but for the time being, I've got a useless cart of Breath of Fire II for the GBA. Unless I'm going to keep my GBA, or GBA player on for 20+ hours straight till I beat the game without hopefully without dieing, it does me no good.
Anyways, from what I remember Breath of Fire II was an awesome RPG, and if you're a fan, you should definitely give this one a shot. It's been so long since I've played, but I'd say that this is probably the best game in the BoF series.
Note: I'm under a ten minute time limit, so I end up scrolling the text at about my usual reading speed, so if it goes to fast for you, you can always pause the vid to read it. I was rushing to try and show off as much of the game as I possibly could under my 10 minute time limit.
