GS :The free to play role playing game Breath of Fire 6 was going to be launched in Japan a while back but was eventually delayed. With the launch date getting closer, today Capcom has announced that an Android test for the game is going to be launched next month on September 8th and it will last until September 15th. A brand new trailer has also been made available."
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.
Call me when a REAL Breath of Fire game is released.
What a waste of an awesome franchise :( oh well at least BOF 3 and 4 still hold up today thanks to the cartoon / cel shaded like graphics.
Hopefully they make a new Real Breath of Fire. Like Breath of Fire 3 and 4, they're amazing
They pretty much just tacked on the Breath of Fire name for commercial reasons. This isn't a Breath of Fire game. There are small things that sort of remind me of the series, but other than those it's barely recognizable as a BoF game. Not that change should be discouraged (Dragon Quarter is cool), but this game is blatantly a cash-in. The gameplay, the graphics - all of it reminds me of those games that are advertised via pop-ups on the internet. I doubt much passion fueled the creation of this game.
I'm currently in the process of designing a game with a lot of Breath of Fire references. Breath of Fire 3 & 4 were instrumental in my childhood and were super underrated. It's not an RPG, its a sidescroller, but there will be dragon transformations and the like.
I'm currently asking for donations, but, regardless, I have some concept art up at gofundme.com/year30game
