I actually loved Breath of Fire 5 AKA Dragon Quarter
The whole time limit thing was a pain in the ass and the SOL system but once you get used to it and learn how to manage the dragon powers, it becomes very enjoyable.

Scias, Samurai dog and the "wise older guy" of the group as I recall. He's actually very cool and one of the better characters in BOF4.

Depends on who you ask. This would be how I would rate them.
Best overall = BOF2 and BOF3
Best gameplay = BOF4 and BOF5
Best characters = BOF2
Best/Most interesting scenario = BOF4 and BOF5
Best Story = BOF 1, 2, & 3 (This is because all 3 games actually interconnect)
The GAF Concensus on BoF 5: Dragon Quarter was hardly that it was one of the worst in the series, in fact, I had many discussions on here back when it came out about how it was the most innovative RPG in a long time and while a major departure from the series was a kick ass game in itself.CO_Andy said:
To me, BoF5 was the best one to date. 4 sucked, was painfully generic. 1&2 were pretty old school RPG, read, rather generic too but nostalgia helps polish them up now. BoF3 was pretty good. Not an RPG that'll make you crap your pants, but if you're looking for an enjoyable RPG to play on your PSP you could do a lot worse.

BoF5 would be PERFECT as a portable game. Given its type of gameplay and how you can turn it on and go through the game quickly and raise your dragon ratio, it has that pick up and play type of feel. I totally advocate the suggestion of a BoF5 PSP game.
My opinion:
BoF 1 - Good.
BoF 2 - Great/Awesome!
BoF 3 - Arguably the most boring game I've ever played, and what the FUCK at the soundtrack. Great sprites though.
BoF 4 - Haven't played, 3 turned me off to the series.
BoF 5 - Turned me back onto the series, one of the best games this gen hands down, fuck the haters.
And just to clarify, there's nothing new on the PSP release of this right?

Can someone explain the appeal of BoF 2 to me? That's the only game in the series I played and I completed the whole game and was bored to death the whole time. Granted, I did not play it for the SNES, but I grabbed the GBA version for 5 bucks - and I actually thought I overpaid. Did the game not age well or am I missing something? Just seems so generic... no personality at all.
It does look nice, but BOF3 was/is a snorefest.
I'd love for a Dragon Quarter style BOF on PSP.
I think it's nostalga. I remember having these great memories of BoF2 way back when it came out, only for them to be shattered when I recently aquired the GBA version. I don't know what I was thinking - the game is atrocious. I was even more mystified that Capcom USA -kept- their original SNES translation, which might be the worst RPG translation I've ever played.

That might be it, but so many people seem so SURE that BoF 2 is an awesome game. Are all of these people basing this on memories from 10 years ago? I thought for sure someone must've played the game recently.MoxManiac said:
Oh yes! Half the time the translation didn't make any sense whatsoever. I can't believe I forgot that so soon... having just played it last year. Guess that's case in point: time fogs your memories and distorts reality.

I actually like BoF3 on the first play. The colors and the scenery (artwork) were refreshing to me. I also liked the characters. I'm not sure if I can run through it again but making it portable and being able to play this game when i'm out and about will make it more appealing to play through again.

Same exact thing here =\
BoF3 sucks. There...I said it. I owned this game. I played 40hours into this game about 3 or 4 times, and always quit around the same spot. This just isn't a very compelling or interesting game. It's the only BoF game I've played, so if it's actually a good one, then it doesn't speak well for the rest of the series. I was suprised to read the thread title, which is why I clicked on it. I didn't expect them to port such an underwhelming game. All IMO. But this game ain't worth a fart. It's not bad, but considering I'd had FF7, Wild Arms and a few others on the PSX, and then Vagrant Story to finish off my PS1 RPG fix, this game couldn't carry their jockstraps. PEACE.

Looks good, although I can't really imagine buying it as long as it's identical to the PSX version I already own

I never played Breath of Fire 3 so another RPG for PSP is cool.

If BOF 3 is the only PSP RPG your antcipating, than thats just sad
None of those sound very appealing to me unless Level 5's game is more like DQ8 than the Dark Cloud games. BoF3 is tempting, though.

Yes, yes, YES! Frankly, I'm surprised more people haven't jumped all over you about getting it. Last time I checked, the game has quite the cult following around these parts.Error2k4 said:
I actually just recently started playing it (with the bulk of my playtime being over Thanksgiving break), and, with around 5 hours on the clock so far, I'm having a blast. The combat system works very well; it's not only engaging, but, unlike most RPGs, it actually encourages/rewards skill and the use of strategy before and during battles. Think Vagrant Story.
Some may be put off by the SOL Restart/Restore system, but--for jaded gamers like myself, at least--it's a breath of fresh air in a genre that's otherwise plagued by a general lack of innovation.

I found my copy of BoF5 off of EBay for like $20 (mint condition). I had rented it before and beat it but I just bought it just for the hell of it. I plan on sinking my teeth and getting deeper into the game eventualy.
If you see this game for cheap, I recommend getting it.

BoF5 is the best RPG of the generation! Fuck the haters who can go fuck themselves! I'm sorry you don't like good games! WHINE WHINE WHINE, NO INNS WHINE WHINE. Aww, poor baby has to pay attention to what he's doing, sniffle wiffle.
BOFV = innovation. BOFIII = polished version of age-old mechanics. They're both enjoyable in their own way, but I found III to be marred by the tedium of status effects (too many battles where you'd get hit by crippling status effects from the start by monsters that could barely damage you, so that you spent ages fighting a trivial battle). V was one of the top RPGs this generation IMO, because it dared to do something different and did it well - not innovation for its own sake, but because it actually gave an enjoyable playing experience. BOF V FTW.
