Breath of Fire II has a reputation for having a bad translation. But it's so bad it's almost miraculous. Dec 18, 2016 Breath of Fire II was first released in English in December 1995, after hit Super NES RPGs like Chrono Trigger, EarthBound, and Final Fantasy VI had been released in English. Yet, unlike these classics, Breath of Fire II has always been notorious for the quality of its localization. I had very little experience with the game and didn’t really know what all the hubbub was about, so in late.
Breath of Fire 2’s translation is infamously terrible. From “Yes” and “No” being swapped to the game asking you to equip a fishing lod and bait, the writing in the game is bad even by Capcom’s low standards. The game itself is supposed to have a really interesting plot, but the text deteriorates to a point towards the end that nobody can really make any sense of what’s going on.That said, it’s not a bad game. The dragon spells are pretty useless, unfortunately, but the rest of it is fairly standard RPG fare. The music’s decent, the graphics are good, and the game’s fairly tough, but if the meat of an RPG is the story, this one’s so stringy and tough that it drowns out just about everything else. Hopefully the current translation project will correct this. Translation Description.

Breath of Fire II (Retranslated) is a RPG video game published by Capcom released on December 2, 1994 for the SNES.
This is basically the same game as the original except the whole script has been retranslated from scratch. As a result, the story actually flows a lot better. No more short choppy sentences, no more inverted Yes/No.
