Breath of Fire Thread

I meant 6, seriously fuck 6

If I started with 2 back in the day, is it worth it to go back and play the original next? I think I'd rather move on to 3 but I could be convinced otherwise

Sure, it's a good game in its own right and there weren't any massive additions going into 2.

The first, generally speaking. It's not exactly a world-beater, but it's a nice game.

A lot of people give the original shit because it's basic but honestly it still has more personality than a bare bones story rpg like Dragon Quest. Anyway regardless of the comparison I think it's pretty enjoyable. Just not ground breaking.

What did you dislike about 6?

I'll have to give it a shot, my resistance to it is because I'm a bit bored of SNES RPGs and haven't played many PSX games at all, but God knows it'd at least satisfy my autism to play the original

If you're bored with SNES rpgs you're probably wasting your time then. The game's story isn't all that important to the series other than two small aspects. One of which is that there's a dragon clan and the other which is a minor spoiler.

>I'm a bit bored of SNES RPGs
Hah, yeah there's a ton of them that are worth playing. I ended up going through some PS1 rpgs I missed while doing them.

That Chrono Trig--I mean, BoF3 nostalgia.

As a sidenote: fuck you anons and fuck this thread. Now I want to replay those games.

I did 2 playthroughs of BoF3 and both ended in failure.
The first one I couldn't kill the boss in the mines after the timeskip. I think he was weak to ice, and I missed the ice gene, so I had to use fire + opposite, so I ran out of MP too fast.
The second time I couldn't get through the desert.

I should try it again sometime.

Fuck do I miss BOF. Can modern day Capcom even make those weird wonderful worlds anymore.

Imagine thinking the dragon gene system was actually good or any better then the dragon systems of other BoF games.

Been playing through BoF4, and god damn I wish Fou-Lu was the main character. Fou-Lu is a well fleshed out character with a back story and goes through events that show a very human side to a god. Ryu on the other hand is as bland as I have ever seen a silent protag. He just doesn't really matter to the narrative other than being the other half to Fou-Lu, and it is really Nina and Cray that are pushing the story along. Ryu doesn't have a relationship with any of the characters. Even Nina confesses to be in love with Cray. I'm kind of loosing motivation on playing this besides seeing how they handle Fou-Lu now that he has sacked the capital of the Empire. I sure as hell don't care about the main party, and if anything I don't Ryu to beat Fou-Lu.

I dunno, but she's the only thing people remember from the series.

Katt fans don't even like Breath of Fire. They just like her because furfags will cling to anything that appeals to their niche fetish.

Then you should ignore this shitty series save for her game (re-translated). Fans of this series give her no justice just because they are zoomeroid wastes who started with PS1 games.

Does the artist still work with capcom? Last I saw him on with credits was DMC4's concept art.

No. And because the quality of the game is acceptable to the point that people don't care, ontop of the fact that the amount of content cut is actually really small, nobody cares to do a uncensored version.

You'll just have to look them up on youtube. I do think the decapitation adds a bit showing how unhinged Lu-Bu has become but it's mostly unnecessary given that they still imply it.

So do entitled BoF "fan" cunts who shit on Katt just because she's stealing attention from their generic games.

Will Capcom revisit Breath of Fire during it's redemption arc with a new proper iteration?

Through her navel.

No. IV's master system works in such a way that everything stat gain/loss can be corrected by apprenticing to the opposite master. Some power-levelling with the robots in those ruins whose name I can never remember would do the trick. You're never really supposed to become as strong as Fou-Lu anyway, I think I never went past 2,500hp and I managed. Of course if you want to do the optional superbosses then it's kind of mandatory to do some grinding.

But they are one of the worst JRPGs on the system.

I believe so, at the least he still does work. He's done some art for SFV, Gravity Rush 2, and weirdly enough Assassin's Creed.

I have to imagine that, if it it ever did happen, he would come back for another game. BoFIII and BoFIV is how he really broke out as an artist, his style has become iconic to the series like Yoshitaka Amano with Final Fantasy or Kazuma Kaneko for Megaten.

The dragon system in every other game was so limited that no one used it outside of boss battles. At least in BoFV the dragon form made you a literal god of death, just at an extreme cost.

Course not. While strong it took too much of your resources. It was only usable in the final boss fight. In 4 it was as mandatory as it was unavoidable unless you wanted to get your ass kicked. And even then you had to shit items into Ryu so he could actually stay in it or you'd get your ass kicked anyways

This was capcom at their most retarded, they didn't know either.

Ever heard of the phrase 'with great power comes great responsibility'? The way dragon form is implemented in DQV is a lot more interesting, as you're making a long-term trade-off everytime you decide to use it.

You can also catch one of them taking a piss down the mountain if you're fast.

I hated those two pricks so much.

That's not a fun concept. The whole point is to unlock the powers and try the combinations. Getting locked into a set amount of anything is shit in an rpg, just look at the backlash stickers and color paints did to mario rpgs. It's the same if the game told you "here is a great healing item, you only get 50 of them in the entire duration of your game but boy are they good". That's a limiting factor that's only tacked on because they couldn't think of any other mechanic for the transformations. Limiting the player with a mechanic that removes an option for something they can do versus making it difficult to upkeep are completely different. I'd rather take the time to make the dragon mode sustainable. Not have an easy slap to win that you can only use a limited number of times man.

Does Dragon Quarter emulate well? I know it gets a lot of flak, but I've never played it and would like to at least see for myself.

>furfags
Cope.

>Course not. While strong it took too much of your resources. It was only usable in the final boss fight.
This is false. During my first playthrough I used it on most boss fights, i.e. all the regents and the later fights with Bosch, and I finished the game with d-counter to spare.

The whole 'DQ5 is ridiculously hard' is a massive false narrative. In reality, the game has a fine difficulty curve. It's simply not mindlessly easy, unlike 99.99% of jrpgs.

When's that? It sounds familiar but I'm not sure

No, it fostered careful and planned usage throughout a game that is designed to be replayed a few times. Dragon Form is used a ton, just not the big laser thing until the very end.

I'm reading an interview on famitsu and I still don't get it. Especially when the artist is literally in your Company. What the fuck was it that they were doing?

I said Final but I meant to say in *boss fights
Also you're both misreading my post and making a grand statement about JRPGs and are likely to invoke an ass whooping by saga fag if he's even awake and browsing v so keep that down, user.

glad to see someone with good taste

DQ's dragon system is the only good one as it actually makes turning into a dragon a vital aspect of combat. In the other games it required too many resources to ever be practical, literally any one that played the games would do the logical thing and save it for when entering a boss battle. In DQ they might do the same but at the same time using it in a life or death situation actually comes up from time to time. The other other games were too easy sadly, they almost never had the player have to worry about game over scenarios, DQ actually has tense moments.

You're doing it too. I'm specifically replying to his post about the other BoFs you goon. I don't have stronger feelings for DQ one way or the other.

I guess they thought the BoFVI style was more marketable, looking at it now it looks similar to Fate and even Granblue to a lesser degree so I guess they may have wanted an aesthetic to match those.

Actually you need a GameShark to enter the room from the east side.

I always thought that BoF4 was very generous with MP usage since you just swap them to back row while they auto regain health. I never used dragon form in combat because the animations for transforming and spells is so long that you could just kill regular enemies faster by attacking/comboing magic.

Dragon system aside, is DQ worth playing?

The adult sprites don't really look anything like their art either, Nina has some sort of apron/belt thing on her sprite for example. They only match up with their art in the ending sequence.

I just figured they changed artists at some point, but didn't have time to change the sprites. I prefer the sprite designs myself.

Really? I remember seeing this without cheats, I think if you went to the left you just heard him whistling or some such and couldn't go nearer.

I'd say so. It's certainly a shift in tone from the rest of the series, but it's not a bad game.

Yeah they were relatively generous in 4 but he's not entirely wrong that the entire game was, by design, a traditional RPG with a twist.

The main reason I didn't like DQ was because it wasn't a grand scale map and dungeon based RPG. It was a dungeon crawler. I've sense warmed to those so maybe I'll warm to DQ one day.

You're shit at making any kind of point. If everyone misunderstands, you're the problem.

I quoted a post directly talking about the other BoFs. I made a post that could only be applicable to the other BoFs. I even talked about 4 specifically

>In 4 it was as mandatory as it was unavoidable unless you wanted to get your ass kicked.
I don't know how anybody could see the number 4 and think "he's talking about Dragon Quarter.

But no you're right. I'm the problem. So sorry for the misunderstanding, I guess.

It's pretty cool, and if you like challenges it's arguably the hardest game in the series. Combat system is very far removed from traditional series, playing a lot more like a no grid SRPG similar to Makai Kingdom.

DQ wasn't patently hard, just that the mechanics for the game aren't as well explained and your first two characters are very weak comparatively in the beginning. Everything from that point on is only of moderate difficulty since you'll know to throw meat or kill stray enemies, learn mechanics and combos, etc. That's a matter of mechanics and tactics being different, but it doesn't just change the fact that limiting the powers for a set amount over the duration of a game versus making it difficult to use due to resources is different in conception and execution in the game. One can be circumvented with planning, grinding and saving of items and the other you can't do anything about other than just NOT use it. Patently unfun my dude.

Nina is the exception, all the adult chars are deisgned after the promotional artwork.

Capcom is likely going to make a new IP. I mean anybody could slip into the grandscale RPG market right now and as long as they delivered a stellar map and dungeon RPG with mechanics that don't put you to sleep it'd be GOAT to some people.

well there's a doujin of it at least

More like Final Fantasy has slipped. But I just don't see the series making a come back after it was turned into gatcha garbage.

I wish the entirety of 4 was about Fou Lu.

Dragon Quest XI was very successful and it's basically a traditional JRPG with modern polish and a few other modern aspects. But then again, it's a big phenomenom in Japan, I wonder if BoF would sell even half as well.

Hell if I know. I only looked it up ages ago. If it is then that's information missing but frankly the how doesn't exactly mattered outside of creating a concise story.

That'd be neat but they'd be hard pressed extending that the entire length of the game without also throwing in a first half that's just him building his kingdom or some shit.

>accidently took all the shit in fou-lou's sections without realising Ryu needed that shit
Fuck, trying to keep Tyrant alive with no ambrosia was a pain

That's exactly what happened.

The guy that did the art for the first two games was suppose to do the art for BoFIII but he was dropped mid development. They had already completed the character sprites by then and were too lazy to redo them to fit the new aesthetic and design.

If you look at the concept art in the child sprites match them perfectly, the final art of them is so different though that you almost wonder if it's different characters.

Give me a Tatsunoko 2 I guess.

Nina and Fou Lu were both close to being in UMvC3. They decided against Nina as so many people on the team wanted their own favorite waifu in that they just flat out decided all the newcomers will be male to avoid conflict. As for Fou-Lu he made it far in the planning phases according to them but they thought the Japanese audience wouldn't recognize him. Yes, you read that right.

Two most popular characters in the series.

One thing I really liked about BoF3 was how childhood really was the end of the game's easy portion. As soon as you fought the Dragon Zombie in the Dauna Mine you know things were going to get tough. And if there was any chance of it being a one-off, Mikba totally erased that with his insane reprisal rate and area of effect attacks.

Man last gen Capcom really was stupid as fuck. Goodness gracious.

The key issue there is the expectation that Capcom will play it's cards right. Capcom is not a company who generally plays it cards right.

I know you said that I read this right, but what the fuck?

Ono had the passion at least but the decisions they went forward with were just so silly. I think the start of the fall was deciding to take 5 in house when 4 turned out the way it did because of outside help for better or worse

Still I hope his loss of position doesn't come with a loss of pay so he doesn't become embittered by the entire thing.

3d pigfuck disgusting

I really hope they don't go crawling back to Marvel/Disney because of the demands of their idiot fanbase. A Capcom x Capcom tag fighter could be great with the right roster.

>Japanese audience wouldn't recognize him
As terrible as it sounds, I could totally believe that.

Along with all the status effects like poison and confusion, sometimes together

Ono has good intentions but makes bad decisions. He does seem to genuinely care about the fanbase and interact with them, which is really cool, but the way he addresses the problems people have makes him seem rather out of touch. Of course his say probably isn't final, it very well could be capcom being capcom and him just trying to save face as best as possible so who knows.

Ono is gone now so things can expect to change. For the better or worse is not known yet.

Because they'd be doing both sides of the roster a Capcom vs has literal limitless potential.

I'm going to start 4 tonight. Is there anything I need to know as far as different translation patches or patches in general?

Yeah, I'm not flaking him for the passion. I just don't think he was a good leader for the division. The guy clearly loved fighting games, he just had no real business developing them. He seems better suited for PR, though like you said who knows if hes even with the company anymore. Whatever the future is for the versus series is, I hope Breath of Fire finally gets to take a part in it. I assume Ryu is a never ever, but Nina and Bleu are probably fair game and would be super interesting fighters.

Nina looks so much better than the furry shit.

No. Pretty much 4 only has the one version to choose between unless you can speak jap. 4's already pretty... comfortable in it's difficulty allllll the way until it's final boss so don't sweat min-maxing at all.

No, the only other version of BoFIV is the pc version but the only difference is it uses a different font for the text, literally nothing else.

Stay away from spoilers, IV's plot has some really good moments that would be a shame if you were spoiled on.

As far as I know, it doesn't have a different translation or anything. You could check romhacking.net or whatever. One thing to keep in mind is like BoF3, defending is how you learn blue magic and the only way you can get spells besides very rarely through leveling up.

So which is it - Bleu or Deis? And why?

Attached: Bugs BUUUUUUUGS.jpg (642x513, 112K)

His last public appearance was for the Kage reveal at the end of Capcom Cup, right? I'm not really following SFV anymore, so I don't know if he's made anymore since then.

Nina the 2nd is very attractive in general.

>best boss theme is only used twice
youtube.com/watch?v=5jxPCMTxMQo
What the fuck.

There is a furfag here that is spamming katt pictures in hopes for replies like yours. He admits to not liking the series and is only here to spam pictures of kat. Report him for spamming and ignore him.

I just started playing 1, it's kind of a slog so far, and the story is really shit, should I be playing with a fan translation or something? It's basically illegible besides "get your sister, you have dragon power" up to where I am, which is just having awoken some giant stone golem thing, and fought a soldier-y boss inside it?

Deis, Bleu was a name invented for the English translations that they decided to drop for the later games.

Thanks

BoFI was a pretty generic attempt at Capcom trying to cash in on the popularity of jrpgs in the mid 90's, with later games they started to actually do their own thing.

It was always Deis in Japan, Capcom just stopped using Bleu once 3 rolled around.

Garr has the two best boss themes in the game, and both of his only play once.

It's just too spoopy

BoF I is mostly a minimalist RPG.
I wouldn't recomend it by itself, but breath of fire II and III are better appreciated if you played I before.

The ghost battles also have a exclusive victory theme that's better than the normal one.

Least 1 sounds like it's fine to go through, got both 1 and 2 on backlog
Games feel like a slow burn imo, once it picks up it just picks up and feels fun to be invested in.

I've heard people criticizing the Sushi quest, but I love it. It's silly in a way that fits the mood of the game, the exploring part is varied and not tedious and the minigame itself is pretty cool.

youtube.com/watch?v=A1IWf-J1Sho

I guess I'll push through, how long is it? Not to bring up another series in this thread but I had an experience with wild arms where it felt like it was gonna end then it had some "EVEN BIGGER EVIL ONLY HALF WAY" bullshit that sucked my soul out and removed all my will to play.

I would replay BoF1 would often but goddamn that encounter rate is just too high on the GBA version

I've never beat a BOF game but I love jrpgs. Which game is the quintessential BOF experience ? Some of my fav jrpgs are star ocean second story, ff 6 7 9 10, grandia I and II.

Eh, it's kind long.
You are at the begining.
There is a moment when you think it's going to be the end, but actually isn't, but by then the end is really close.

What was this in?
>some chinchong sounding fag in 4 wants me to get shisu
>it's just fishing with BoF4's mechanics
>end up going for the other option that isn't locking me out of a dragon transformation
Fuck I just don't like fishing in that game

Was the encounter rate really increased for the gba version? Normally they decrease that on re-releases.

>Chrono Cross > BoF3&4

Attached: 1553430953891.jpg (125x91, 3K)

That's every fucking wild ARMS though

I left BOF 3 in that quest the last time I played because I couldn't find the motivation to continue.

3 or 4

It's not actually all that long as they intended for you to get your shit stomped in and use the continue option to start over with your built-up stats. I found a loop in my first playthrough that let me keep killing a certain boss over and over and using the checkpoint restart to build up levels so I never actually had to do a complete restart.

Well. I mean kind of 2 but mostly 3 and 5.
3 pulled "HERE'S THE BAD BEHIND THE BAD" like what? 6 times? What a fucking game.

It's my favorite and most people will agree with it being more unique than fucking BoF, problem with that, faggot?

Wild Arms 3 was the worst, the final story arc with the evil little girl (Beatrice I think was her name?) felt like it would never end.

Still the best one though

Generally 3 or 4. 3 has the better feeling of adventure in my opinion but 4 still is my favorite game for some reason I can't thumb.

Fuck by the time you can naturally just learn Kyrie, you've passed all of the undead bosses.
Dragon Zombie was some tough shit

III and IV are generally people's favorites. The fifth one is a pretty intersting game, it's like a weird mix of survival horror resource management, roguelike mechanics, and jrpg combat. mechanics They're not deeply connected games so jumping into whatever one is fine,

We need more RPGs where you play as a real dragon, anime or not. I'm sick of bland lizard people.

You're not wrong. it's also the most replayable one. Halfway in when you get enough options to just become a god among men is the best shit. I love that feeling every single time I play it.

All dragon battles in BoF III were tougher than other bosses, keeping the theme of how powerful dragons are in the lore.
Gisshan was a dragon too, right? He went completely crazy and didn't transform, but he said things only a dragon should say.

4 has a very unique setting that is based heavily in eastern mythos, as opposed to the standard western fantasy that is more common. Fou-Lu is also the best written character in the series.

I don't think they turned it down. It was really bad in some places, fights every 5/6 steps.

Well your taste is an irredeemable garbage and Masato Kato is one of the worst jrpg writers.

Attached: 1539432862299.png (221x218, 19K)

4 has a much better world overall, they put a ton of work into that world building and it paid off in spades

Square translated BoF1 and renamed a lot of names and locations for arbitrary reasons. Capcom kept some of them in II but reverted it all in III.

Worst part of BoF3? For me it's the Lighthouse.

No idea. I'll have to check that out.

I can only say that you are tasteless low IQ faggot if you hate Cross. I mean it is how it is.

Now when you say lighthouse do you also mean Beyd.

Lighthouse or the Factory.
Rhapala is a fucking filler in general.

>doing all the Millenium Puzzles in 4 runs to give an item to each so they can have all skills or whatever
It's been years but that was the gist of it, I got so sick of the text select shit because I always got stuck in one place where I clicked one I wasn't supposed to or didn't click one I was supposed to just before the Yggdrasil shit. Every single fucking run, same shit followed by a traipse around the world to talk to the right person the right way.

Nah, everything in Rhapala including Beyd is good. Just fuck the lighthouse for some reason, though the way you are presented with the beholder boss is pretty fun.

I never played this game because the MC was such a skinny ugly fag. I was disgusted by him so I never got to know the game.

The story isn't even convoluted, dipshit, you are just mentally handicapped. Also, great combat system employing logical element system with limited revives and ability to escape boss battles to adjust tactics.

Off yourself, my friend.

Yep. Just turn one step to the right and keep going straight.

I just eventually caved in and fished fucking whales on the lost shore
I think all my dicking around in general made me max out the game timer (99:99)

As well as like 98% of the cast.

>that little skirt flip whenever she casts a spell

Me too. When I finally figured out what the fuck I was doing and how to be efficient I could bring the whole thing in in around 35-40 hours

Well nows a time to rectify that. If not now when it's fresh of the mind, then when?

You could get the directions for the Desert of Death from two different sources in-game. One of them had a translation mistake.

I only played 2 when I was a kid and one of the few things I remember was getting into some sort of cave that had a bunch of monks I believe. You have to press some buttons at the rhythm of a short song. I remember that it took me way too many tries, as in getting stuck there for a day or two. I think they teach you a spell if you get it right. Anyone knows what I'm talking about?

Would probably need Felicia. Talbain is extremely unique but he is not extremely popular. That said nice list.

But we both know they'd probably shove Ingrid in there.

>he was shitface drunk all game long
>the localization censored it to a stutter
i don't get why Capcom censored this game overseas like they did

The logic was probably because it was quite literally marketed at children. naturally I don't support any censorship at all. But you can't say they didn't know their target audience.

That, plus a stutter is probably a lot easier to transcribe than drunken mumbling.

As Schala fell through the time gate in this condition, she heard your crying echoing through time... That is when her story and yours began to intertwine..."
