Description:
This is a major rebalance hack that makes this game play more like the later games in the series, plus a few tweaks.
- Some weapons and all armors have thier att/def and weight altered to the values of their later game counterparts
- Level pacing is greatly altered with stat gains being reduced and levels occurring much more frequently (Max level stats based off of typical endgame stats in this game and a few tweaks based on later games.
- Snes palette restored by ThegreatBen
- more frequent occurrence of good equipment in Flea market
- REMOVED DAMAGE CAP
- contains the text cleanup patch by vivify93.
- Bleu (now renamed Deis) gains spells slower, forcing you to use lower tiered ones until further in the game.
- Gobi buffed slightly
- Version 1.1 fixed a glitch with text
- version 1.2 fixed leveling issues, refined the flea market changes (still gives better equips more often) and removed StarHR (is now a free Mallet)
- version 1.3 Restored StarHR, fixed more level up bugs, buffed some bosses that were still too weak.
- version 1.4 adjusted Karn’s fusion AP requirements
- version 2.0 renamed all remaining items and spells to match the later games (most names have been extended to 8 letters), allows Bo to equip gloves with bows, and fixed some reported bugs.
2.4 replaces G with Zenny, fixes a few small bugs and adds the Sara edition optional patch.

Amazing Job
Reviewed By: amerk on 07 Feb 2018If you are a fan of Breath of Fire SNES or GBA, then please do yourself a favor by getting this version. While not as finely tuned as the graphics were for the SNES, this hack does its best to bring back the color palette of the SNES, while also making the script a little more enjoyable and balancing the game play out for all the characters.
If you really want to make BoF GBA the definitive version, then you will also want to patch in the sound patch as well.
