That translation really is a mess. I've played a fan-localized version once that was far superior simply by virtue of cleaning up that mess. Never owned a SNES though and I'm through emulating games I don't have.

Thanks! I'd heard the localization was bad, but I wasn't prepared for this. I'd say give the fan sub a try, because it couldn't be any worse than the original sub.

When I originally played it, it was on the SNES, so yeah, the translation was dodgy as hell. I fairly recently played it with the fan localization and that was a lot better.

^You're probably right about that. Were it not for the crummy translation, it's possible the game would've either been bowdlerized or not released here. Then Breath of Fire III either would've been renamed "Breath of FIre II" or "Breath of Fire: Some Unnecessary Subtitle."
