Since it appears that there isn't going to be a strategy guide made for this game anytime soon, I figured this thread is where all BKO questions/advice/talk can be put. Thoughts of the game are welcome too. Just about anything related to this game is allowed here.

I got to the end of Disc 1 at roughly 30 hours and the second disc starts out with the toughest boss I've encountered in a game in a long time. I spent almost two hours trying to beat it, but I couldn't. I went ahead and started a new file (I planned to do so anyway eventually). That way, I can try to find everything by doing all the side-quests, looking around everywhere, etc.

What are other people's thoughts about this game? Heck, you can talk about the original if you want too.

Bump because surely I'm not the only person in the world to have played either of these games :(

You guys need to play BKO and then BK. It's the best rpg/series I've played in several years, plus the battle system is incredibly neat.
