Walkthrough the Fire & Flames, with Breath of Fire II (Retranslation)!

[Fionordequester]

Alright everyone, here's a question: Up till now, I've been doing a lot of post-production work... Perhaps too much. Basically, I've been editing out every instance of me and Skaizo stumbling over our words, or talking over each other. That seemed like a good idea at the time...

But the cost of that is that I have to re-sync all our dialogue every time, usually by "filling in the holes" with more words. Then from there comes me pining over whether or not the new stuff is the same volume as the old stuff, or whether the new delivery matches with the old delivery, and etc...

So here's an experiment—The next episode with little editing! What you hear in this episode is basically our commentary STRAIGHT out of the recording booth. Tell me what you think; If you notice a difference in quality. Thanks so much!

ENEMY AI:
Bouncer/Garcon:
1/64 defend, 63/64 attack

Wildcat:
1/64 defend
Otherwise: 50% Attack, 25% Chopchop/Slice (50-81 unblockable DMG), 25% Dice (80-111 unblockable DMG)

Jailer (37.5% chance to Counter-attack):
1/64 defend
Otherwise: 65/256 spell, 191/256 attack
Spell list: Spark/Flare, Cure 3/Vitalize

Witch (same as Nimufu):
1/64 defend
Otherwise: 129/256 spell, 127/256 attack
Spell list: SwtBrth/Dream Breath, Cure 1/Heal, Spark/Flare, Thunder/Jolt

SLICE (given to 1 PC) vs. +16 HP BOOST (given to the entire party):
Slice is a great early to mid-game move (especially for Sten) that does 50-81 DMG, pierces defense, and costs 0 AP... However, it eventually gets obsoleted by other attacks. The +16 HP boost, however, never stops being useful; In fact, it turns some OHKOs in the end-game to two-hit KOs, given how low my levels are going to be.

HOW TO GET THE +16 BOOST?:
It all depends on the Wild Cat's Mood gauge, which lowers depending on...

1) How many instructions you obeyed

2) How many times you say "No" before you finally forgive him

If you obeyed all the instructions, you have to say "No" three times. If you obeyed all but one of them, you only have to say "No" once. Disobey any more than that, and you get it automatically!

CORRECTION ON NIMUFU:
The game DOES actually follow upon her via a throwaway line from a Township tenant called "Whoopi"! She actually starts having feelings for Jean!

Will display this in Part 12!

THE ROUTE:

Overworld:
Get SokletAR/Circlet & KmikzeBL/Void Sphere
Un-equip Nina & Tapeta
Go STRAIGHT to Fort Nageur, going right when horizontal to the lone tree!

Fort Nageur:
Get Deluxe Pole after waking in bed
BUY: Copper Baton & Buckler (Lin), Iron Knuckle (Rand)
SELL: SuedeAR/Tanned Armor, Iron Band, Sage’s Robe, Warlock Ring, SaladBwl/Headband, BronzeSH/Escutcheon, Wisdom Brace, & Deluxe Rod
TRADE: IronML/Iron Plate (Sten), IronAR/Iron Armor (Ryu)
Swim left to the campfire and make a Rand/Sten/Lin/Ryu party
Equip them all properly (Circlet to Ryu)!
Save, then go left to the Wild Cat Restaurant

Follow all the orders except for turning in your weapons.

TRANSLATION MISHAPS:



Inexplicable extra space.



Dangling word.



The guy's name changes to "Jailer" once you fight him.



Incomplete phrases.

TRANSLATION SUCCESS:



A rare bit of legitimately clever writing! Ryusui actually KEPT this one !
