Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
The sad part is... of all the PSP games... this is the only one that interests me at all.
Well, still not worth the money though.

Man, I loved this game and never had the chance to finish it.
I just wish it was on the DS instead of/as well as the PSP.

Breathe of Fire III, I think, was my favorite. I burnt out my original PSX playing this game for like, 7 hours straight. Followed closely by 2 and then 1.
4 was crap. I loved the series, but I couldn't bother to even finish 4. Big dissapointment.
Breath of Fire 5 was dissapointing too. It was too out there - I got to the last dungeon twice, couldn't beat it, and stopped playing. I liked the attempt at being unique - its a shame the game didnt sell, hell it was better than 4, but there was just something about it that made it so unlike the BoF series, as a BoF fan it didnt sit well with me.
Heres hoping they do a 6!

I can't really decide whether I enjoyed 3 or 4 more, but both were disappointements after part 2.
Breath of Fire 3 is a decent rpg with decent mechanics, a decent story that ties closely into Breath of Fire 1, and a decent, but mostly boring cast (save Rei and Momo). It also has a crybaby Ryu and an annoying, mentally challenged Nina who lacked the depth of the Ninas from 2 and 4 but had not a whit of the charm of the first Nina. Also, Deis (Bleu) is not playable, unlike 1,2, and 4. I wish I could have played as Teepo in Ryu's place.
Part 4 streamlined the mechanics and improved on the story and graphics, but much of the game was recycled from 3. Sprites were much larger and had fantastic animation. The towns were large and complex with tall structures and cool focus effects. The main dragon transformation was pretty cool and Fou Lu was awesomefor most of the game. The story was fairly original for a JRPG, but the ending seemed to set up for a sequel and left much unresolved. My main issued was that part 3 was easy, but part 4 had no challenge at all...ever.
Breath of Fire 2 and 5 are the only games in the series I consider worth owning, although 2 has been aped by many games since and has not really aged all that well. At the time it was something very special.
Still, those graphics sure look pretty.

Yes, you could import from Europe and have no problems but that's not the point. It's just not the same as going to the local EB and buying it and seeing other people buy this great RPG as well.
Hopefully, Capcom is just waiting to see if RPGs like Legend of Heroes, Kingdom of Paradise and Popolocrois sell to make sure there is a market for RPGs on PSP in the US. Then, they just need to give it some bad box art and ship it off.
If Capcom doesn't bring it to the US(and Namco with Tales of Eternia) much fist shaking will be had.

ummmmmm.... ok.. I gues. I really don't care what other people are buying but that;s just me I guess.
hopefully not. I have a feeling those games won't see anywhere near "decent" sales.
edit - the reason I think they won't see great sales is because RPGs definitely DO NOT appeal to the casual gamer generally (too anime) and the reviews Kingdom and Legend have been getting are far from glowing and from what I know about the JPN ver of Popo those won't be glowing either. meaning the people who will be buying them.. saavy gamers, will know about the "ok" reviews. the first hit RPG the PSP stands to have (in the states that is) is Ys, and that is only if the deficiencies of the US PS2 version are remedied.

I can't believe it, the only game that's tempting me to buy a psp is a port of a 8 years old rpg

No FF7: Crisis Core, Generation Of Chaos, Y's, Suikoden, Ore No Dungeon, Level 5's RPG, Tales Of Eternia, Tales Of ******, PSP MMORPG, Landstalker, Legend Of Heroes 1, Legend Of Heroes 2, Monster Kingdom, Magna Carta, Princess Crown, etc... ?! If BOF 3 is the only PSP RPG your antcipating, than thats just sad
.Do NOT get this shit RPG people. The game fucking sux. This is not opinion...This is fact. if you arent ready to kill yerself after the desert of death , somethings very wrong with you. There is no Free Walk Map like Final Fantasy, the Story is so fucking boring, the music is terrible, and the characters are so drab save for Rei and those two horses. Once again, the worst BOF game ever.
I mean to say there is no real overworld. You walk to point A, click, and then you enter some area, like Super Mario RPG
The desert of death is easy
Wrong. Sometimes after the fights the game will reposition your character.

turn right once then go straight the whole way

I don't think they've made a real decision on it. That list that people are basing it on also said WE PSP was Japan only even though its going to be released in Europe soon.
No, that's an old dragon transformation Reilly, a hybrid if i'm not mistaken (who uses combustion).
BoF3 is probably the best in the series, or at least the most known one. Can we please get an expanded ending? And... Can we get an adult Nina sprite that actually matches her artwork?

Isn't 3 regarded as the worst one? Or is that 4? Or am I just imagining things?
