"Hulk sees the mania running wild on him" Had to genuinely pause and get snapped back into reality after hearing that lmao

@risersin7957 2 года назад

One of my favorite RPGs of all time. This storyline was before it's time.

@kingawwtha 2 года назад

Hulk sees the Mania running wild on him Hahahaha

@Kaio_Keint Год назад

the story is like reading a manga, watching an anime, the family sacrifices from Mina to Rands mom, to Valerie and the Church being evil (catholic conspiracy) man this needs a remake!

@trowa9960 2 года назад

This was the game that got me into RPGs. I found chrono trigger and FF6 shortly after. That was a good series of game discoveries. I’ve played through BotF2 nearly once a year for the past 25 years. Despite knowing it inside and out, I still enjoy this game so much! There’s a few nearly game breaking moments for first time players, I remember almost rage quitting my first time through (playing solo as Sten…) but if you’ve prepared Sten it’s not that bad. You just don’t know to prepare him if it’s your first play through and since he sucks you likely weren’t using him much. Despite a few hiccups, the story and characters are fantastic here.

@rainfeather2997 2 года назад

There's two places that you can get stuck if you don't use certain characters- the solo Sten section in Highfort, and the solo Rand battle in FarmTown. I don't use either, so the solo Rand battle is like an exercise in frustration...

@CurlyFromTheSwirly Год назад

@@rainfeather2997, Rand is one of the best characters. I prefer Bow as my healer cause his speed is good. But I definitely use Rand till Bow comes back. My final party is usually Ryu, Rand, Bow, Nina, but sometimes I might substitute another in Rand's place. When you say stuck, you actually mean at a disadvantage from low level. With Sten you can level up in the basement. With Rand you'll just have to lose and start again. Sten should have no trouble with his 1 on 1 boss fight if you're around level 18. Even at lower levels, it just becomes a battle where you go 2nd after the faster character. Rand is always going to go 2nd, unless you leveled up way too much.

Capcom probably didn't make them soon enough, with this coming out so late in SNES's lifecycle. They didn't market it all that much either. But yes, I think this series deserves that success, it's an absolutely killer concept with a ton of personality that always innovated in an interesting way.
