summary: whats been done so far

This Blog documents our attempt to

1.) Enhance the original breath of fire 2 game and
2.) Translate the game to German and re-translate it to English.

Our goal is to give the game an improved appearance and carefully tweaked game-play
that stays true to it’s roots, but also justifies giving breath of fire 2 another go 11 years after its initial release.
As of yet, there has never been such an extensive fan made overhaul of a SNES game, EVER! So please, feel free to witness our attempt to take the fan-translation-scene to a completely different level.
You’re welcome to join us on our journey, but please understand that it’s our intent to work with people skilled in the art only, so you’ll have to explain and prove your value to us first. Please note that this is a non-commercial project and everything resulting from it will be made available completely free of charge. We devote quite a bit of our free time to the game and would like you to take this into account when adding comments.
Please keep in mind, we aren’t obliged to even attempt this, it’s just a hobby for us, after all.
