Breath of Fire III (E) ISO
Description :
The lone survivor of a legendary dragon clan, a rebellious youth embarks
on a great journey. One of discovery - and danger. The classic
role-playing game now returns to continue the epic tale of Ryu and the
dragon people. An inner power of uncertain origin matures Ryu into a
warrior who ponders his purpose as he embarks on a mystical journey.
What lies ahead is shrouded in mystery...yet strangely familiar.
Just like a yoyo, The quality of Breath of Fire games go up and down and
up and down, so it comes to a surprise about the quality of the Breath
of Fire game you are going to get. Breath of Fire was a good game, not
great, but good. Breath of Fire 2 was quite a good game, BBreath of Fire
3 is excellent and Breath of Fire 4 is one of the worst Role Playing
Games (RPG for short) I ever played. Oops, I spoiled the review, I said
the game is excellent in the first paragraph, oh well.
You obtain the Cheese!
Once again, we take control of Ryu, the blue haired boy who comes out of nowhere in just about every Breath of Fire game, once again has the ability to warp in to dragons, behemoths and mythology beasts, but mainly Dragons. We also control Nina once again, but this time introduced about five hours in to the game, and Wyndia makes an appearence. Like at the start of Breath of Fire 2, Ryu starts his adventure as a little boy and is ready to learn about his past and how to be a man (Compare the pictures in the instruction booklet and see for yourself). Nina is also a little girl in this game, and an intelligent one too. Old favourites such as Gobi, Bo, Karn and Ox do not make an appearence, although several characters do remind you of these characters.
The story is about a dragon running around a mine burning people, but seen kets K.O'd by a Ox lookalike (Breath of Fire I character). The dragon is put on a train and sent on away. The dragon escapes and is found on the ground in the woods, only to find the dragon was in fact a young naked lad. His birthday suit startles Rei who then takes him to his treehouse. Thankfully, Ryu travels around in a blanket and then some armour. Ryu is on a quest to find out about himself, others want to travel with him but they have their own rreasons. Rei and Teepo want to make it big in Wyndia, Nina wants to be an independant princess, Momo wants to be a great scientist, Peco... well... and Garr wants to help Ryu in his quest.
This time, joining the crew is Teepo, one of them which makes you confused over the gender, until their gender is revealed and you think 'What?'. Then there is Rei, one of the best characters in the Breath of Fire series, he is cool headed, a thief and is hiding a secret. These are the first two characters you can control, and is a shame when their not in your active party (group of members). There is Garr, a bloke who is great when watching him, but crap playing him, the cool strong religeous bloke, that is who he is. Momo, a scientist who has some of the best plots in the game, as well as some of the best one liners in the entier game. Finally we have Peco, a non talking... onion! Yes, You heard right, Peco is a lovable ONION. And it is even better when you see it, especially when it uses it's victory pose.
I must say that the new evil characters are great to have a round. Two enemies which annoy you for the majority of the game are two of the best which Capcom have ever created. They are Bailo and Sunder, two strong men with unicorn horns who are just evil, they follow Ryu and Nina near the start of the game, until you defeat them once and for all, bully's beware, you always get your comupance!
Breath of Fire III is a very funny game. There is many scenes which will make you laugh. Even though Ryu is a muted character (Can't talk) he has many animations on his head. There is one scene when Teepo and Rei do something, and two tear drops appear on Ryu's head.
Well doesn't that beat all?
Breath of Fire III is another RPG with dungeons and random encounters in it. Although the most annoying thing is that the dungeons are usually quite big (The power plant, Momo's tower and the Ghost mansion) so that doesn't help when random encounters appear every ten or so steps, however most random encounters can be taken down in a matter of seconds (at the start of the game at least). When going in a battle, you do not have to wait ages for the screen to load and characters to appear (Final Fantasy and Saga Frontier), the game automatic goes in to battle mode, anybody who has played Squaresoft's Chrono Trigger will easily understand what I am saying here.
During battle, you have several commands. There are a number on options. Typically, you can run away, which you can wether or not you are facing a wall, use an item such as a herb or Croc Tear on another character, Attack with your weapon, wether it is a staff, sword, knife or gun (Characters can only equip certain weapons, like Momo can't equip a sword, only a gun), use magic to cast fire, ice, healing, defence and such spells, defend against attacks to recive less damage, Look to examine an enemy, and then there is Change to change weapons and armour, but uses a term.
Your characters travel in groups of three. The party member which usually is forced to be in your group all the time is the main character, Ryu and when you have the choice, you can select two others, although you are forced to use certain characters for dungeons, like Rei and Teepo for the mansion. The two other characters follow you around and you can select which you you wish to control, if Ryu is leading the group he can use his sword on people to get money, Rei can pick locks, Momo can shoot her gun, Teepo can kick, Garr can push blocks etc. I have no complaints about the Gameplay in Breath of Fire III, other then random battles but it is a RPG after all.
You can also use the camera, anywhere in the game to look for objects behind walls. If you use the camera behind a wall in the mansion garden, you can find a wallet and even a man who will give you some money. You can even find some merchants in one city who will give you a card for discounts in the local shops. Of course, the camera doesn't need changing ever five seconds like it does in Breath of Fire IV!
This time the characters can learn special attacks too. From certain points in the game, if you do something for some characters, they will offer to train you some moves. After so often, talk to them again after a few levels or scenes in the game, they might just teach your character a trick or too, they could be useless or very useful!
There is a brand new World Map for Breath of Fire III. Unlike the Final Fantasy style world map from the first two games, this time the world is zoomed in and made like a path. Ryu can travel around the World Mpap on foot, and you just control him whilst finding secret places such as houses, trees, treasure areas, masters hut etc.
Fishing is back in the Breath of Fire world, however this time it is quite harder and more involving. There is a fairy strategy game for you to play, as well has certain mini-games which require a lot of skill to do, for example Garr's tug o war race.
The graphics in Breath of Fire are really colourful. Using state of the art graphics, Capcom has created a cartoon world, much different to that of its Resident Evil series. The towns, caves, characters and castles are full of cuteness, Nina, Young Ryu (Not the older one though, check the insturction book for his ugly mug), Peco and Teepo are all the cuteness factor of the game.
The animations are great in Breath of Fire III. It made me smile how a tear appears over a persons head when you use a sword on them, or when you get yourself spotted by guards. Whenever Ryu uses his sword, he does a fast animation which is both funny and impressive how he does it.
They maybe cute and colourful,but the graphics in Breath of Fire III are some of my favourite in a game for the Sony Playstation. If only more games were like it in terms of graphics, it would match the unbreakable shadows, animations and detail.
I also enjoy Breath of Fire III's music. The sound effects are a good thing to talk about, everthing from a slash, a strike, a wail or Teepo's noise when s/he kicks and even Garr'sangry cry. These are all very good sound effects to listen to. Although the music is also brilliant. From the sad introduction music to the awesome world map music. Just like the graphics, the sound and music is very cute, although it is a joy to listen to.
Breatth of Fire is a very enjoyable game. It is very big for a one disc RPG, has about fifty hours of gameplay. You will enjoy every aspect of the game, including the puzzles and graphics. It will last you a very long time, especially without a walkthough. I remember buying the American Import and I almost got really far before the United Kingdom magazines brought out a walkthough, I was qquite proud of myself for getting past most of the hard puzzles.
If you are in to RPG's or the Breath of Fire series (which should be both) I say you should buy this game, you can't go wrong!
