This will also help you gauge your power as you'll start to notice fewer return trips to town for a resupply.Īlso, think of character abilities and even spells as highly situational (for extended boss fights or dealing with a large group of monsters).Ī lot of the game is just swinging the weapon and keeping your party alive.įinally, grindy game is grindy.

You want to be able to sustain your party in the field by healing them to full and immediately removing poison after each fight. If you have to micro-manage the fight to win, its too hard - go back to the previous area to farm.Īnother tip would be to dump all your money into herbs and antidotes (maybe 20 antidotes for every 80 herbs) Grinding easy fights is your friend in this game.Ī good rule of thumb for finding easy fights is to either mash A or choose Auto. It got a rebalancing and a reduced enemy encounter rate. If it gets to be too grindy for you, you can emulate the GBA version. I always seem to break down to a party of Ryu, Nina, Rand, and whoever I need for plot reasons.

You do have to drag Sten around kind of a lot because of his long arms for map traversal. He even rolls up in a ball to take you around the map, if you've got the reflexes. He's slow, but he's a tank, he heals, and he hits like a truck. It's not a bad idea for any JRPG of the era, really.

Otherwise you can end up in these situations where you're stuck somewhere you can't grind. You shouldn't be shy about grinding a bit here and there to keep your crew in the best gear available. It might not seem like the crazy diamond that it is now, but it was something else back then. The Church is very Christian and Nintendo of America did not take kindly to that in the NES / Early SNES era. Part of BoF2's appeal is that it tackles a lot of subject matter that you simply did not see in it's contemporaries. Sten's ability is basically a "Feign Death" move that's supposed to prevent the enemy from attacking him. So you pick a formation and put your squishies in the back row, preferably casters.īest way to get money in my experience is to hunt and fish. The further back they are, the less the deal and the less they take. Short answer is that the further up front people are, the more physical damage they deal and take. If your party is squishy, you can change formation.

I mostly use her as a healer with items, since she will almost always go first. Kat is a glass cannon, she really can't take hits. But she really wanted to learn, and Nina promised to teach her. Oh, Kat learning spells is kind of just a joke. I’ve heard from many people that “Oh BoF II is confusing but it’s really fun and the story is good” or “The shaman system may be weird but it’s really cool,” but I don’t know if I have the patience to grind for hours just to progress one story beat this early in the game. My characters keep getting one/two-shot by everything and barely deal any damage, character abilities feel completely useless (Ryu’s “Guts”) or I don’t know what they do after even after using it many times (Sten’s “Rip”), I earn so little money and experience trying to grind with the strongest enemies in the area that it took me 20 minutes to get my party up from level 11 to level 12, but felt no difference in strength, and I only got about 200 gold, which won’t allow me to buy anything, my character’s MP is so low that Kat learned a spell she can’t even cast yet and Ryu can only heal 3 times before resting at an inn, at which point it’s less expensive to just buy 3 Herbs.Īm I just playing this game wrong, or do people severely over exaggerate how “good” this game is supposed to be? I played through and completed everything BoF I had to offer, and while it got boring towards the final 2 dungeons, I still enjoyed my time with it. I’m currently at the town that has the kid stuck in the well of insect-things, and I honestly can’t stand this game anymore.
