I'd say that's probably a stretch.
No doubt. Can't wait to see how it looks on my OLED vita

Nice! I love the dragon splicing system and Rei is a badass. When can we get VP?
I adore Dragon Quarter. My favorite of the BoF games I've played.

Pretty huge logical stretch tbh. A Platformer isn't the same as an RPG.

Lots of nostalgia playing this with friends on PS1. I miss those graphics.
Unless this is somehow madly successful, I doubt it. Given that they're releasing the PSP version, this limits potential buyers in the US essentially to the remarkably low-selling vita. I can't imagine that many PSP only owners will be picking this up. They can't be expecting to make money off of this. Given that they probably had to put this through ESRB, I'd be surprised if they even break even. This is pretty much just a gift to the fans.
I'll join you in hoping for it though!

Holy shit megaton!!!
Here I was thinking I had bought my last psp game.
Capcom... How did YOU end up with the last "new" release PSP game in the US?

I was just looking in to buying a copy thanks to that LTTP thread, assuming there was no chance this would ever actually happen. The retro guys at Capcom are doing fucking amazing work.
Edit: Oh, PSP version? I think I'll go back to looking for a PSOne copy.

Nah, Vic Ireland is still gonna claim that title with Class of Heroes 3.
Won't it be a hilarious surprise if 6 has fleshed out characters and engaging storytelling.
I will approach it with an open mind, and hold my breath at the same time.
Also, Sony, why doesn't PS4 have PSP emulation? Please.

I've been dying to replay this since the end of the ps2 era! Sweet.
Subjective. I liked BoF3 way more, but it felt more appealing to me whereas BoFIV, while being more nicely made arguably, didn't really gel with me.

Why was the PS1 classic disallowed?
I don't think the issue is Sony. IIRC correctly, BoF3 PS1 version has a boss that is pretty much exactly Ultraman, so the rights/fear-of-a-lawsuit are likely holding it up.

im not sure, i just remember reading that capcom submitted the game to sony but was rejected cause of reasons
If that did happen, Capcom would have edited the boss sprite that looks too much like Ultraman, and Sony doesn't allow changes to classics releases from the iso that originally went through QA.

Could be right.
In the Playstation version, Stallion was a shoutout to Ultraman, as was it's signature attack Utmost Attack, but this was changed in the PSP port by turning Stallion brown and changing the name

Yeah, but Seth Killian is being very vague or just doesn't know either, circa 2011.

I'm assuming that just like the Japanese ports of Mega Man Legends for the PSP, that they erased any IP infringement issues with the PSP version of Breath of Fire III?
ULTROS!
People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
Yeah but the PSone classic of Mega Man Legends in on PSN now. I guess this means it's almost impossible to fix the issue out with the Ultraman thing.

SCEA had some really dumb publishing guidelines. 2D hate in the PS1 days and this.
What a dumb company sometimes.
Hopefully, those days are over.

To be fair, Capcom had another element in that the PSP BoF3 was already localized. They didn't have the same luxury with the Japanese PSP port of Mega Man Legends.
Mega Man Legends 2 has mobile suits but I'm not quite sure if that's going to block it from a possible release since the PSP port had them in the textures as well (only viewable by going through PS1 VRAM).

>_< Fuck, I don't know why I didn't think of that. For some reason I thought this was still considered a PS1 classic. Derp, sorry.
Well that really sucks then.
I have access to a PS TV now so I might get it, but it sucks for those who don't.Not the antagonist. Myria isn't evil, but she is definitely misguided. She is like a well-meaning mother who wants to keep her children safe by never letting them out of the house because the outside world is too dangerous, or because, as her children grow into adults, they could harm others. As someone said, it's the whole freedom vs safety debate and she just takes it to an extreme so she is wrong, and sadly, the solution was to destroy her.
I found that to be an amazing plot twist, by the way. It's so refreshing from the typical JRPG (or even just plain RPG) ending scenario.
