Breath of Fire II: Definitive Edition
Breath of Fire II: Shimei no Ko · ブレス オブ ファイアII 使命の子
Rebalances Breath of Fire II and trims its tedium and backtracking, on top of Ryusui's retranslation.
What it changes
ThegreatBen's Definitive Edition follows his earlier hack for the first Breath of Fire. It is built on Ryusui's retranslation of the game and aims to improve the balance, cut down on tedium and backtracking, and bring the terminology in line with modern standards.
Version 2.0 removed the check for an existing save file at boot (with a fix by Pethronos), added an optional MSU-1 patch for enhanced audio, made Nina immune to Quake, gave Sten in the first slot a good chance of a pre-emptive attack, and let Ryu keep his post-game super form's palette everywhere. Version 2.3 disables party changes in the first room of Simafort, where it could cause a graphical bug. A separate build lowers the random encounter rate.
