    That blue haired sorceress with a slithering tongue... for once I wouldn't mind being half snake!

    Anyhow! Enemy encounter rate's a bit too high. Other than that it's perfect.

    The gameplay is awesome, graphics are great, and the length and replay value are both above many rpgs I've played.

    the game has a good sopp story at the beginning as the hero Ryu looses his family and is sucked into a new world of darkness and evil. he must than find himself and venture through many unknowns. i give it 8.5/10 for its grapics and 7/10 for sound (as it is a little soft through most of the game) other than that if you want a longtime asboring game for your GBA, than breath of fire 2, is the game has a good sopp story at the beginning as the hero Ryu looses his family and is sucked into a new world of darkness and evil. he must than find himself and venture through many unknowns. i give it 8.5/10 for its grapics and 7/10 for sound (as it is a little soft through most of the game) other than that if you want a longtime asboring game for your GBA, than breath of fire 2, is perfect for you.… Expand

    Breath of Fire 3 was on my 3rd favourite Breath of Fire game. It had also allot of amazing stuff to do a good story, many character you could find and even a fusion system. One of the best rpg games ever made. Just wish to play it again as an HD Remastered version on PS4 or PC

    Straight port of the old school SNES RPG with all of its strengths and weaknesses intact, and it works well on the Advance.

    An RPG that is screaming out for 'essential' status, but due to the complete lack of a learning gradient ends up being unnecessarily difficult and frustrating to play.

    You cannot go wrong with this game, as it is also one of the best games yet to be released for Game Boy Advance. Be warned that, aside from some small upgrades, it is just a port.

    From the gameplay and balancing, to the visual content and story, you really couldn't ask for much more from a 16-bit RPG. [Apr 2002, p.88]
