"It’s been a slow trickle of new details regarding Capcom’s smartphone and PC RPG Breath of Fire 6, but Japanese website 4Gamer has uncovered even more story-related information that’s spicy enough to get even the most jaded Breath of Fire fan’s ears to perk up.
Two new characters have been revealed for the game, including Gilliam, a blue, anthropomorphic wolf-like warrior who protects the leafy Forest of the Dawn that sits adjacent to Dragnier, the player’s starting village, and Amyria, a friendly, yet stubborn female intellectual who is described as having a mild and laid-back personality. Gilliam also happens to be the name of a bow and arrow-wielding wolf-like character from the original Breath of Fire on SNES, who was renamed “Bo” in the North American version of the game.
What’s even more curious is Amyria. The name of the main villain in both Breath of Fire I and III was named “Myria,” a powerful goddess with questionable intentions. While one fan has surmised that the Japanese ‘アミリア’ can be translated as”Amelia” as well, the name in Japanese sounds exactly like “Myria” with just an ‘A’ in the front. Couple that with her red eyes, long purple hair and horns, and I would say that this may turn out to be an interesting reveal in the main game." - Patrick Kulikowski
In a post on its website, Capcom announced they are releasing thirteen additional soundtracks on Steam including Breath of Fire, Resident Evil, and more.
Off topic but I was pissed that they didn't give you the option to listen to the classic RE3 OST for RE3R that was one of the best options for RE2R.
Al Yang, NeoBards Director for Project Resistance, wants to make a BoF game for Capcom.
"Hey Capcom! How about letting us make a new Breath of Fire after Project Resistance? Pleeeeeaaaasssseeee? :3 "
Japanese RPGs have had it rough in the past ten years, give or take. Following a boom period in the 90s, with classic after classic touching down on the PlayStation from the likes of Square Enix, Capcom, and Konami, the HD generation led to the downfall of the console JRPG. Very few series saw new entries on the PlayStation 3 or the Xbox 360, with few sequels to the biggest names and several failed attempts to establish new IP.
Well really Breath Of Fire was killed off by Breath Of Fire: Dragon Quarter that game was a disaster. And 6 was another disaster for the series as it was an online game that just shut down last year after only like a year out.
There are still quiet a few JRPGs out there and being made. Unless you have some very limiting definition for a JRPGs, it just a lot of the older JRPGs are no longer being used by their respective IP owners.
I am pretty sure Star Ocean isn't dead, there will be at least one more game. I wouldn't count wild arms out yet either, because who knows what could happen with it in the future.
You're right about Breath of Fire, but wrong about when it died. Breath of Fire died on PS2 with Dragon Quarter. The game was just not even remotely close to being as good as all previous entries.
Soooo much potential ruined by IOS.... Sad Ryu :( Anybody else wish this was a PS4 exclusive?
Ryu is a wolfman confirmed.
I wonder how the gameplay is like because it doesn't seem turn-based.
