So just like Tengai Makyo 7 :-(

 

[Dantis]

Well this is a crippling disappointment.

 

[Aeana]

Whatever happened to Breath of Fire V? Surely there's hope!

? It's for PS2.

 

[Shadow Ranger]

Brutal. Really brutal.

In any case, I need to actually play a BOF still...

 

[RyougaSaotome]

Dragon Quarter literally says BoF V on the cover. There's no confusion to be had here.

Edit: Beaten.

WHY.

WHYWHYWHYWHYWHY. ='(

 

[iavi]

There's no well-structured RPG in a tablet/phone environment.

Twewy shows that there's no reason one couldn't exist, but this is no twewy.

 

[JABEE]

I feel really bad for all the Breath of Fire fans.

 

[Aostia]

I just died.

 

[Markun]

Well, good luck with this thingamajig, Capcom. You're gonna need all of it.

 

[ULTROS!]

? It's for PS2.

People didn't get my joke.

Spoiler

i can't progress coz of the goddamn bats killing me

 

[ILoveBish]

Hope it comes to Android!

 

[Infernal Monkey]

Oh god this is perfect.

 

[doniewhalberg]

Best personification of how this must feel for everyone

 

[Kenai]

The day started only 2 hours and 44 minutes ago and it is already ruined! >=(

This!

For some reason, the thing that actually disgusts me is that it's titled BoF 6, they couldn't even pretend that there would be some other game elsewhere in the future.

 

[mr_toa]

Remember when you ASSHOLES made fun of me for this thread: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=631806

THIS IS KARMA! SUCKERS!

TWELVE MORE ANNOUNCEMENTS TO GO!

Epic :-D

So PC and IOS?

 

[SmokyDave]

Breath of Fire used to be a big, substantial RPG series. Imagine if <your favorite game series> had its next mainline (not a spinoff) entry announced as a social game for touch devices. Points if you have been waiting for the next entry in the series for over a decade.

Do we know what the social elements consist of yet? I don't really play social games, is it the shit that badgers you to hassle facebook friends and the like?

If they announced Streets of Rage 4 for Casio calculators I'd still puke with excitement.

It's the assumption it is going to be some social F2P crap.

The original BoF games would've been suitable to touch controls, that's not the problem. The problem is everything else.

I can understand the social / F2P fears but it just seems like it might be an idea to wait and see rather than jumping off a bridge and worrying about it later.

Thanks to the three of you for not jumping down my throat, I can see this is clearly a hot-button topic.

Bwahahaha! I'm gonna go grab some lunch... when I get back, I'm gonna keep reading these hilarious entertaining posts :lol

This must be why sven left. This is too far a troll even for him

I thought you were assuming that Dragon Quarter wasn't 5 because it doesn't have the number on the NA cover. But it does on the JP one.

 

[Yeshua]

I want to be optimistic. I mean it's just a regular old turn based RPG that is made to be controlled with touch or mouse isn't it? Isn't it?

Sorry to break your heart but it's an online game not an old turn based RPG.

 

[Coxy]

I think this is the ultimate "be careful of what you wish for" moment for a lot of us lol.

I never asked for this.

The main character doesnt even have blue hair., though I supppose these arent even characters, just nothingless nobody classes

 

[qq more]

Bwahahaha! I'm gonna go grab some lunch... when I get back, I'm gonna keep reading these hilarious entertaining posts :lol

You're so mean to them, man. Not cool.

 

[Bundy]

Capcom...... you assholes....!
WTF?????

I'm waiting for a new BoF and Suikoden (Konami) for YEARS and then..... this!
FU!

 

[reptilescorpio]

I actually think "Oh hey, a JPRG for PC. This wouldn't be bad."

Then Online/Touch.

Same

 

[kingmozo9]

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahha. Capcom has no shame. BoF6! Numbered sequel! Touch Online RPG! Loooooooooooooooooooool.

.

 

[Hours Left]

I think I might vomit.

 

[Torkith]

Capcom didn't even have the balls to name if Breath of Fire VI. Instead they use 6?

Don't do this Capcom... stop the madness now.

 

[MoogleWizard]

I think most peoples problem is its on mobile platforms first and foremost. Beats me why its a problem. Capcom likes money?

Play one of the FF games on iOS, then you know what the problem is. Shit controls ruin even the best games.

This sort of optimism might be warranted if it wasn't capcom we were talking about.

 

[Ryuuga]

HOLY SHIT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

CAPCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

 

[Facism]

Such a dispicable waste of an IP.

 

[drgambit]

BOF6:

F2P,

B2W.

 

[Tovarisch]

We have to do something...
WHY, WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

 

[Blackage]

Is this the future of Japanese Development? Phone/tablet crap?

Also was there something going on where Capcom announced this and showed off the Deep Down stuff?

 

[Ferrio]

Wow.... why?

 

[Kageshinzo]

So, uh, at the risk of getting trampled, what's the actual problem here?

Is the game thought to be poorly suited to touch controls? Is it the way it looks? Is it both? Something else entirely?

I appreciate this probably sounds like a stupid question but I'm not all that familiar with the series as I'm not big on the ol' RPGs.

Back in the SNES, PS1 and PS2 days, Breath of Fire was Capcom's premiere RPG franchise. It was their answer to Square's Final Fantasy and Enix's Dragon Quest. Kinda like how Konami's was Suikoden. It is even more similar than Final Fantasy because each installment, while not explicitly a part of the same world/timeline, always features the same main protags (Ryu and Nina) as well as recurring characters, and always features dragons. It was a great series and it was never stale.

Imagine if Final Fantasy XV was released on mobiles. That's how it would feel like to core BoF fans.

GAF on suicide watch !

Yes. The event mentioned in this thread: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=631806

Yeah, that's a fair point too. Even as someone that enjoys mobile games, Capcom really don't seem to get how they ought to be made / adapted.

 

[jj984jj]

Why do you hate people Capcom? Why?!??

 

[MickeyKnox]

It's telling that I'm not the least bit surprised or upset at this, proof that just about everything Japanese gaming related is dead to me.

 

[Jucksalbe]

This is....this is.....Capcom....why do you hate your fans so much?

 

[Boss Doggie]

Twewy shows that there's no reason one couldn't exist, but this is no twewy.

Those supposed RPGs are ports.

This seems to be going against everything :/

 

[Coldnoodle]

Breath of Fire 6 has been announced

for PC/Tablet/Smartphones.

Online touch RPG.

 

[SargerusBR]

 

[mrjohill]

Whatever happened to Breath of Fire V? Surely there's hope!

Isn't that dragon quarter?

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

Might as well never get excited about Capcom announcements again.

They're guaranteed to be shit.

 

[zeopower6]

This thread could have been a huge troll if you just had "Breath of Fire 6 announced" as the title, haha.

But damn, that is rough.

 

[Majima Everywhere System]

Cool. Sounds like an alright thing to me.

I'd like a real-ass IOS game that's worth sinking time into, maybe Capcom will come up with something.
