Improved sequel to Breath of Fire. Story is darker, characters more developed. Even better than the first, a true gem of classic portable RPG.

Accompanying Ryu and the feline fighter Katt on their quest for origins unfolds a darkly themed story rich in revelations about the Infinity cult. Exploring the hybrid animal-human villages, mastering the eight heroes and Ryu's dragon transformations, then unearthing the world's secrets fills long dozens of hours. This faithful Super Nintendo port keeps all the scope of a classic J-RPG and remains prized for its generosity.
