Breath of Fire III for PlayStation 1

Pros: great dungeon music, storyline becomes very interesting towards end
Cons: for the first 20 or so hours, the story kinda drags. Repetitive battle music

The way I see it, there are two kinds of RPGs on the PSX landscape - stuff made by Squaresoft, and "real" RPG games; the kind that emphasize gameplay over narrative. The former, being much more addictive to many mainstream players than the...

Pros: Engaging classic RPG
Cons: None

Return To The Classic RPG

Some of you will remember the name Breath of Fire from the days of Super Nintendo. The series involves the tale of noble warriors who channel the power of dragons to help fight against the myriad forces of...

Pros: Unique in-game features, music, storyline, characters, graphics, gameplay
Cons: Battles get repetitive

I own all the breath of fire games because it is my all time favorite RPG. I have played # 1 2 & 3 countless times. Anyways, breath of fire 3 does not expand on breath of fire 2, it is like a whole new story once again. You first start off with Ryu as ...

Pros: Hand-drawn graphics, unique characters, literally dozens of side-quests, long.
Cons: Tinny, listless music; Master system is frustrating. Might be too "happy" for some.

Breath of Fire 3 is what the common gamer refers to as an 'old school RPG'. Hand-drawn sprite graphics as opposed to texture mapped polygons, themes of swords and sorcery, princesses, castles, etc. as opposed to skyscrapers and laser cannons. If...

Pros: Excellent graphics, gene splicing system, easy battle interface, master learning system.
Cons: Long loading times, unbalanced characters, childish sounds, grid-like world, puzzles are too hard.

Long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away,there stood the Square empire. Its people didn't want to pay, but they sure wanted to play, and a vicious battle started. Many stood in Square's way, but only few could resist its overwhelming power. And so the...

Pros: Long adventure, diverse characters, dragon genes is a good idea
Cons: Boring story, out dated graphics and sound, bad master system

Capcom, is traditionally known for it's awesome 2D fighters such as the ever popular street fighter series, but a while ago Capcom began a series on the Super Nintendo and have brought this very series on to the playstation. The game may be a bit old and...

Pros: Great Sound, Good Story, Subgames, Overall Great Game.
Cons: Plot is fairly linear, battle system is linear as well

Well, I wanted to do a review on Breath of Fire IV, but it isn't listed
:( . However, I do own this game as well, and I am very pleased with it.

If you've ever played any game in this series before, you'll know just how fun it is, but...

Pros: Incredible plot, Great handrawn art and general fun!
Cons: Sometimes encounter rates get too high

The RPG portion of the video game market used to be pretty small, about 14 years ago. Then it began to pick up more as young gamers grew up wanting a richer experience than a side scroller could give. Since then, we've seen many RPGs come and go.. and...

Pros: Great graphics and solid animation.
Cons: Music could've been a lot better.

Being a big fan of Breath of Fire 1 and 2 on the SuperNES a few years back, there was no way I could resist picking this one up. The gameplay itself is extremely similar to the second one, especially in the addictive 'town-building' section of the game....

Pros: familiar game and characters
Cons: huge AP use, unbalanced characters

The Breath of Fire series has become one of my favorite RPGs in recent years. Having finished 1, 2, and 3, and now on the last leg of 4, Breath of Fire has become like a dear friend. Some would criticize the series for having characters that span games...

Pros: great story, lots of depth
Cons: none

Breath of Fire has been a classic series from the time it first appeared on SNES. This game didn't really change from the second or the third but change isn't always good. The graphics have been updated just a little bit, but the story is were this...

Pros: Classic RPG, the way games should be made
Cons: Newer systems with better graphics make it look bad

Ah, here it is...Breath of Fire III. This was my favorite RPG for the PSX and it needs to be recognized. Part of the reason is probably because it is the first game I received with my Playstation so it has that special place among my collection of...

Pros: Gameplay, music, creativity, replay value, fun factor
Cons: Graphics could've been a bit better

Gameplay: The gameplay was really amazing in this one. From start to finish, it was addicting and enjoyable. The abilities were always fun to watch and the attacks were really powerful at times with the critical attack. I liked all the different...

Pros: Innovative side games,hours of gameplay,immersive storyline
Cons: Graphics may seem outdated by today's standards

Even if you've never played any of the previous Breath of Fire games you
should give Breath of Fire III a try. It's unbelievable that so much has
been crammed into just one disc. This is a very involving game that I
spent over 100 hours...

Pros: Cute, Fun!, Safe for All Ages
Cons: LONG, Replayability stinks

Yes, you guessed it! I love this game! I was 98% of the way through it and that was hours of finding my way, learning about my draconian ancestors, finding stones, and helping my friends. It was so much fun.

Yet, ::sob:: when I went to...
