I love the characterizations of all the party members here... And Rand being stuck with the triangle is the most adorably precious thing. 2 years later: I still stand by this statement. Rand on triangle is not only funny, but his expressions are adorable.

[@bitchtitchs]

Can we witness the visible anxiousness of the big triangle dude before he hits it and the satisfaction he gets from playing it on time, I love this animation

[@PrinnyBlack]

Just in case you wanted to know: his name is Rand and he's a complete cinnamon ROLL.

[@Alignn]

armadillo, not horse

[@BlueMageDaisen]

@Adam Bestler IRL, sure XD But in the BoF series the Shell clan tend to be one of the larger clans Iron Ogre clan, the oxen based on, are the tallest though, by another good foot in height on average

[@SigmaXcelsior]

I always thought Rand was a giant rat xD

[@matchboxmatt]

What's even better is that Ryu is cueing him before they share a smile of gratitude.

[@Elbethium]

This was my first RPG ever. I rented the game back in the day, we were basically next to poor. Got the game for the weekend, didnt finish of course. Asked at the place would they sell it to me, my Dad gave me 6e(this was well more than 20y ago) and i knew it was gonna be too little. They asked for another 15. I left that as downpayment. Went home, didnt ask, or throw tantrums, i knew our situation too well. And my Dad just brings me the rest, i have no idea how or from where, tells me... Go buy it son. So of course i ran, and it was all i played for years. It is still in my working SNES 😁 And ever since i have been paying back that kindness to my dad every chance i get. This is the most special game of my life

[@FrappMocha]

Lovely!! Here's to your awesome dad ❤🍻🍻🍻

[@Elbethium]

@@FrappMocha thank you so much, i can never repay him this ❤️

[@nthgth]

That's love, man

[@feiwong3634]

It was my first RPG too, i remember when the game came out here in my town (circa 1995) my parents also didn't have money, the only money was spent on payments and food, and i saw this game running on a kiosk, being a huge Capcom fan i was amazed by the graphics and music, and begged for weeks, until my mother finally gifted it to me, i didn't knew english or rpg rules, but played this constanly. I have a lot of love for this game, and series really; BOF 1 to 4 are amazing games that sadly capcom don't want back.

[@AJR-zg2py]

Whoever gave Rand the triangle is a genius LOL

[@mattdarrock666]

I believe he got it from Chunky Kong

[@LynnSenpai84]

Rand on the triangle is just my favorite thing. XD

[@PrinnyBlack]

I'm crying. This game was such a huge part of my childhood; Katt was my first childhood crush; and this is just such an overwhelming wave of nostalgia. Seeing all these characters alive and moving, when they've been pretty much forgotten by the people who created them, and hearing the music, is just too much

[@marvincalma5779]

another dust in my eyes damn it

[@Vizeff]

I feel ya. Searched up this when I played through the retranslation. God damn tears ;)

[@Lunarcheese72]

Apparently you are me, Katt crush and all haha. First RPG of my life, hooked ever since. The music is just rad too.

White Wings are most saddest music, reminding Mina's Sacrifice became Great Bird than Nina

[@Algol_Veilios]

I wasn't ready for The Flower. I still remember that moment. I don't know what kind of KZbin Algorithm is at work here, but I'm so glad it introduced me to this video. Very well done.

[@Tuss36]

I'm here for Katt wearing a suit. She pulls it off great! The music is also awesome. As many have said, it's amazing to see this game get such love.

[@remyjonatanquintanamillahu9627]

Quien lo diria, ¿Katt con traje?, igual se ve hermosa.

[@user-qj2pf6cg2g]

I've only just recently picked up Breath of fire 2, and after hearing so many stories about it from my older brother and my dad about how good 2 3 and 4 were I knew I was going to have fun yet I severely underestimated it, it blew me away and is such a fun game with fun characters and honestly, the whole experience so far has been so good, my only regret was that I didn't grow up with this game.

[@LuvTonique]

I'm so happy for Rand, look how proud he is of his triangling!

This is the most beautiful remake of an OST I've ever heard. BoF2 defined my childhood, and hearing the songs in this quality brings literal tears in my eyes. Thank you for everyone involved in this beauty.

Fun fact: Nina is the only one of all the nine playable characters that actually plays an instrument! During the Spar quest, she will say that she plays the piano if you talk to her in Township.

[@sparklesparkle3370]

I'm a complete zoomer who just finished playing thought the first two games on switch for the first time and this series made 2020 for me and touched my soul I love this and I love seeing these dorks animated ☺

[@Flegan777]

The music and the animation are absolutely superb here. You've shown more love for Breath of Fire in this one upload than Capcom has ever done in two decades.

[@imaroughgempdx]

BoF2 is the best one hands down. There is just so much soul in every pixel. I know it's mostly nostalgia - I recently tried to play it on switch and it was a bit too slow for my tastes. But that ART! I never got the chance to play 3 or 4 back in the day. I almost beat 3 recently (thank you fast forward), but it feels shallow compared to what I felt for BoF2. I'm super gay but still in Love with Bleu and everything she stands for

[@mielthesquid6536]

The only obvious missing track here is "What it Takes to be a Hero" but what a wonderful arrangement!

[@Mad_Ziedrich]

So I am replaying this game since I pretty much found it impossible to finish as a kid before walkthroughs and searching internet existed. Now..... am fucking crying. I miss this so fckin much. Breath Of Fire 2 was one of my first games, what got me into gaming and rpgs, and pretty much all nerdy stuff in general. Thank you.

Ahh,, yup. Breath Of Fire 2 was the first Breath Of Fire trilogy that I played when I was 11. It feels nostalgic when hearing this beautiful soundtrack

If you rescue the old man from Evrai, "Memories" starts to play when you discover the old man's identity. It's one of the most emotional moments I've seen in a video game.

I'm more curious about how many cringy monkey-suit jokes Sten made... It seems simple to me; Katt agreed to wear pants at the concert if Ryu agreed not to wear pants at the rehearsals.

[@Gamerzpluz]

I am not a person who likes music in the same way most people do, 95% of my music playlist is from games and are various remixes of songs that have meaning to me, Breath of Fire 2 is my second favorite game of all time (behind twilight Princess) and I've know it wasn't a very big game, so I was looking up remixes of songs hoping to find 1 or 2 good ones and found this, legit teared up a bit and am very excited to listen to the entire thing later tonight. Many thanks to the people who made the songs and you have made my week.

[@Gamerzpluz]
