    Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter

    Game » consists of 5 releases. Released Nov 14, 2002

    The fifth game in the Breath of Fire series. It is a... major departure from the series' standard turn-based JRPG roots, to say the least.

    Not the best in the series.

    The story is very different from what I know from the Breath of Fire world. When I played it I was very interested in what I was about to play & follow. When the game started the story kinda....... clawed out of the gates. I'm not saying it was bad, but the story took a while to get going.

    The battle system in Dragon Quarter is very interesting & innovative in the way that if you build up your AP then the more in get to attack in one turn. Which adds some strategy to how you fight. I was just so happy that it was not like every other rpg were you just attack & then that is it. Now when you build up your AP to the maximum then you have to chain the attacks together in I would say 5 to 10 seconds before the combo ends.

    When you look at this game you will tell it is cell shaded. Which thats not a bad thing, but I think it would have been better if the chose to do realistic graphics rather than cell shading. There is a few times when the graphics are perfect for the game, but most of the time it is just plain.

    Audio: The soundtrack is not perfect, it could have been better. I don't think they chose the right music for this game. It is okay, but okay does not sell a game for me it has to be better than this. I know that comparing this game to Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest is un-fair, but it needs to try to be like that. It really isn't a aci-fi rpg, it is a fantasy rpg, so it needs to be better then what it is.

      The Game that Killed the Series 0

      The very first console RPG I ever played was Breath of Fire II on the Super Nintendo, made by Capcom. I realize now that it's not the best example of the genre, it's repetitive and somewhat poorly translated, but it will always hold a special place in my heart. Regardless of quality, however, I can honestly say that that SNES title is hands-down a much better game than the PS2 iteration of the series which was released nine ...
