tasks" laden throughout the story, recommending it to players who could look past its "rough edges". IGN called the game's translation "average at best" with the lack of adequate spacing in text fields still present, yet ultimately calling it a "solid, enjoyable RPG experience...though not a role-playing masterpiece on the level of Final Fantasy VI or Chrono Trigger". Eurogamer called attention to the game's high rate of random battles, but nonetheless called the game "a beautifully crafted and impeccably produced adventure". In 2006, Nintendo Power ranked the game 171st in its list of the top 200 games released across all Nintendo consoles, ten places behind the original Breath of Fire. In 2018, Complex listed the game 75th on their "The Best Super Nintendo Games of All Time" writing: "Breath of Fire II isn’t too different from the original, but different enough to not be a direct clone. It’s a fun, turn-based RPG. But it’s not as good as the first one." IGN rated the game 53rd in its Top 100 SNES Games. In 2023, Time Extension included the game on their "Best JRPGs of All Time" list.
