Sadly you cannot seem to change your equipment during battle, which means most first attempts at difficult bosses are just throwaways for learning their strengths and weaknesses.Īnyway, I'm enjoying it a lot more than I did BoF, so I'll probably play this one to the end before deciding what to tackle next (possibly Phantasy Star II). You do collect a nice assortment of rings that act as buffs/debuffs as long as they are equipped, but these are mostly useful for bosses. You've got spell that reduces enemy defense, but other than that you are relying on consumable items to boost your damage and defense. The only thing it lacks is a good set of buff/debuff spells early on. The dungeons are pretty good also, with branching paths and-every once in a while-treasure that's worth seeking.

interesting world & lore, surprisingly good writing,.decent "action" elements (initiating battles, setting traps / mines on the battlefield),.fantastic combat system (TB + truly tactical), where almost everything matters (movement, AP, AoE spells, buffs, status-changing spells / attacks),.I don't remember the last time I was having so much fun playing "jrpg". BROS, I've started BoF - Dragon Quarter recently and I'm blown away pleasantly surprised.
