After falling in love with RPGs with the first Breath of Fire, my brother and I perused an early 1996 issue of GamePro (the one with Spinal from Killer Instinct on it) at the local K-Mart and we FLIPPED when we saw a sequel, Breath of Fire II, was available on SNES! I got it shortly after for my 7th birthday and it's remained one of my favorite games of all time. Lovely pixel art, fun and challenging turn-based combat, a custom town building sidequest, shamans that enhance and morph your party into utter badasses, multiple interesting modes of transporation, lovable characters, rockin' battle themes, and an emotional and whimsical story that'll make you laugh and cry and send shivers down your spine. It's my ultimate comfort game and I wish more people could experience it on GOG through emulation, port, remaster, remake, what-have-you!
Breath of Fire 2 was the first RPG I ever played, and also the game that made me fall in love with the genre. I played from 1 to 4 and am fascinated by their stories.
For almost six months, I rented that cartridge every week from the game store in my town, and in the end, the store owner sold it to me for a bargain since I was the only one renting Breath of Fire 2.
To this day, I have fond memories of playing on my tube TV in my small room, late at night, exploring and conquering every inch of this magnificent game. If a collection were released, I’d buy it instantly and play them all again.
Man was i ever excited when i first saw images of this game in my egm magazine. I bet i was pretty annoying to anyone around me lol. I was so excited that i suddenly had so much energy and wanted to tell all my friends. I remember saving up money to buy this game through bits and bytes that was adventerised in my gamepro magazine because where i lived i for some reason couldnt find the game. I sent out a money order to them and apparently i was short by 10$ or so but they still shipped the game to me (much appeciated), i will never forget this day, when i opened the box i immediately started crying uncontrollably lol. Another awesome game in the series and even loved it more than the first.
This is one of my earliest RPGs; I know it doesn't get as much love a Chrono Trigger, but I loved it because of it's difficulty, awesome looking characters, battle animations, and fusing the heroes into unholy, ridiculous abominations!
One of the best NES JRPGs ever made. I'd love to see it brought to modern systems with all of its original translation errors fixed! I have several runs of this game on my Wii through virtual console, all at different points in my life. I'd love to cement this chapter of my life with one more!
I remember that a magazine had featured the game coming up in release(can't remember if it was Nintendo Power or EGM) and was hooked on the characters and specially dragons. BoD2 is my favorite of all 5 games and seeing Ryu running forward on the bridge towards DeathEvan was epic. A remake or remaster IS in order please. I still remeber that I bought it at my local Sears store.
I was never able to play the Breath of fire series at all, so this would be an awesome opportunity to be able to play one of the games that has eluded my entire childhood!
I remember my uncle showing me this when I was like 6 years old, in 2006, I never knew what were happening but the music, animation and the characters just kept me so locked in.
Throught the years I forgot a little about it, but when I clocked in again at like, the age of 12/14 I played it every year. It's my favorite RPG of all time, it's simple storywise, but the vibes and everything that it meant to me is what make it special.
Getting all the shamans, finding all of Ryu's final gear, facing Barubary alone just before the end, it's the classical executed in the perfect way.
God bless bof 1, 3 and 4 too, but my heart goes for Breath 2. Also, this year I'm probably getting a tattoo of the cast, I think I'll start with Nina in the shaman form
Probably the first jrpg game completed as child
... With one of the best plots and characters in gaming (in my opinion), this game made me a true fan of video games. The night I beated the game for first time I couldn't sleep and started making fan art of the game series (one of my hobbies to date).

Genji: Days of the BladeIt's been three years since Yoshitune Minamoto and Benkei Musashibo, warriors of the Genji Clan, defeated the Heishi Clan in a war over the "Amahagane". The Amahagane are sacred jewels which grant the owners godlike powers, such as Kamui. Now, rumors are spreading of new, ungodly creatures fighting with Heishi warriors, even without the powers of Amahagane. Yoshitsune and his companions must draw their weapons again, and with the new strength given to them by the Amahagane, defeat the new evil to save all of Japan.
Genji: Days of the Blade, sequel to the PlayStation 2 game Genji: Dawn of the Samurai, is an action game, based in ancient/feudal Japan, in which you must defeat a new, mysterious source of evil to save your country. You control one of four characters (changeable in real-time), each with their own weapons, abilities, strengths, and weaknesses.
Yoshitsune Minamoto and Benkei Musashibo, the main characters of the previous game, join with Gozen Shizuka and Lord Buson to complete their quest. Yoshitsune is a young warrior who wields a katana in each hand, Benkei is a mighty warrior-monk who uses a war club and a naginata for weapons. Shizuka is a nimble priestess who is adept with chained blades, and Buson is a God of War from the Overworld who carries a double saber and can use supernatural powers.
The game play involves fighting many enemies and bosses with regular attacks, combo attacks, and Kamui. Kamui is a power that you can use to summon a magical space around you in which you unleash multiple special attacks on surrounding enemies by pressing buttons in series as they appear on the screen. Your Kamui bar fills as you land successful hits on opponents. The characters travel through both levels based on real locations in Japan and fantasy locations, defeating everything from regular Heishi warriors to giant, mutated enemy crabs. The level design involves platformer elements and solving small puzzles, such as destroying Masho flowers scattered throughout an area to open a door.
The game also has RPG elements; you collect Amahagane and Mashogane hidden around levels and from fallen enemies. They can be used to augment character stats and weapon attack power, respectively. You can also find new weapons and items such as herbs with healing properties, or scrolls that give you attack bonuses for a period of time.Action Historical
