Dragon Slayer is a great and under-appreciated game.

Thats how I made Captain Tsubasa 3. But i learned japanese translated to spanish smoother and in better detail.

Um What?
Anyways, I just got into Cosmic Fantasy 2 for the first time....Cool game so far but only the story is driving it.
Play further, the game gets much better.  I fully enjoyed cosmic fantasy 2.  It is a game that is not very serious about itself.  and is a light hearted adventure.  It's not going to throw anything super new at you gameplay wise but rpgs rarely do that

I remember HATING Dragon Slayer soooo bad when I played it in 2005. I quit at least halfway through the game.
Dragon slayer is a fantastic game with several really cool story elements.  highly underatted game, this game exemplifies many of the standard ideals that make up this genre.  from the simple quest leading to something bigger, to Man vs. Nature, and the corruption of good vs evil.  The fighting system is also under appreciated in this game it does just what it needs to without forcing to much grinding.  There are also several hidden objects and paths later in the game should you choose to grind/search though. Overall I really liked Dragon slayer LOH.
NW: Hey, I made it on this psycho's Enemies' List, how about that ?? ;)

BT: Look at how the fake SFII' carts instantly sold out and were immediately listed on eBay before the flippers even took possession. Look at Nintendo's overpriced bricks. Look at the typical forum discussions elsewhere.

You can't tell most retro gamers anything!

Not necessary unless your combat strategy is to turn up the turbo switch and hold down the button.

I wonder how much text is in Body Conquest 2 . I beat the original on the Famicom Disk System. I'd play BC2 it if it were translated.

How gaijin friendly is Dragon Slayer II?  Any major puzzles or other stumbling blocks that would stop me cold?

I have played into a small bit, and it doesn't seem to be to hard to figure out menus ect.  But I never went back to it so I can't say more than that.

It's pretty bad. Way more running back and forth talking to specific people at specific times. I played through several chapters before giving up and playing other games instead.

I haven't tried it. It was fun in Japanese though.

I'm not fluent in Japanese either. I haven't played DotB 1 & 2 since 2000, but the visuals aren't very pollished, even though there is some cool art. The gameplay wasn't as fun for me as other PCE digicomics, but I imagine it would be much easier for me to navigate today.

Ranma 1/2 #2 is a good digicomic to start with.
