>>726780741
>>726780741Im a "play series in release order" kind of nigga and I haven't started the first game yet
its shit and shouldn't exist fuck you
You're gonna trigger the resident schizophrenic. >>726781042Too late.
>>726780741>capcomLmao.No.
>>726780741Why is this such a pleb filter?
The Dark Souls 2 of BoF, what a masterpiece...
>>726780741I played it for about an hour, it was boring as shit.
>>726780741>perfectly pacedwho are you trying to kid
>>726781812low iq
>>726780741NahI stopped after BoF4 and i'm good.DQ is shit
>>726781742"Rogue-like" or "run-based" mechanics built into what had previously been a very standard JRPG series. WAY before such things became common-place or popular. People did not expect or want to die in JRPGs. And the game encourages it. The designer went on make Dead Rising which also got a ton of grief for its run-based systems.
>>726780741sort of like Chrono Cross, this is a fine game if you just forget it's supposed to have anything to do with its legacy.
>>726780741>>726782269Alright, I'm interested. Do I need to know anything about BoF to enjoy this game?
>>726780741Didn't this game almost kill the series before the gacha came along and actually killed it?
>>726782406Cross > CT in every way
>>726782438it's a rebootyou need to know ryu means dragon in nihongo
>>726782438Not really, you're free to play it as your first entry to the series
>>726782438It's actually more enjoyable if you haven't played any other breath of fire games , because it shits all over the previous legacy.
>>726780741How is compared to BoF 3/4? Because I didn't like those and didn't finish them.
ppl just hate this because of their nostalgia hating this game btw
>>726782749yeah Cross has such amazing final boss music, much much better than World Revolution!
>>726783248completely unrelatedthis one is weeaboo baldur's gate set in the first episode of gurren lagann
>>726783248It's hard to compare them at all. Dragon Quarter is wildly experimental next to 3 and 4.
>the retarded nigger is still trying to say dragon quarter is good
>game encourages you to dieAbsolute retard take. You can grind that way but it's not encouraged.
>>726780741Dragon quarter is a masterpiece. The rest of the breath of fire series not so much
>>726780741I did, and I'm glad I gave it a chance despite the poor reviews. It's the best game in the series by far.
>>726783172More like the other ones shit on DQ
>>726781142>You're gonna trigger the resident schizophrenicIf you want to trigger them all, you say BoF IV > BoF III
>>726783643you literally don't get cutscenes unless you've restarted multiple times, wdym?
>>726780741Okay, between BoF 3, 4 & 5>Best Music>Best Graphics>Best Setting >Best Gameplay >Best Characters >Best Story
>>726784371are you leaving out 2 because you know it would win?
>>726784465I never really finished 2...
>>726781219>CapcomFuck You.Yes.
i'm unsure if this game is the worst jrpg ever or unlimited saga
>>726785001Sounds like arbitrary assmangledness on your part. Play more games.
>>726783643There is literally a "Using 'Give Up' Effectively" section in the manual.
>>726785001Both are shit
>>726780741No thanks, it looks ugly as fuck and plays like ass, also not Breath Of Fire
>>726783359Too bad every other song is ass, it doesn't even have a regular boss theme and the standard battle theme is an agonizing screeching mess
Only ones worth playing are 3 and 4
2 is the best.3 copied 2's best bits but less.4 copies 3's best bits but less.5 copied Baroque.
>>7267861131 - 4 are dogshit derivative games that felt outdated by one generation. I'm glad you fags are fuming at the thought of the fifth one being the best long after Capcom pulled the plug.
>>726781142What a retarded post. You clearly saw it before typing, now it just comes off really stupid, even as a joke. He is a faggot though.
>>726786567>You clearly saw it before typingNope. You just want to be mad, which is an Indian trait.
>>726786456V and VI are the worst games though
>>726786795The phone game doesn't count, and DQ is a top-tier game. 1 and 2 are irredeemably awful video games, however. 3 is clunky and mediocre, and 4 feels unfinished.
/v/, think about this hardAre Breath of Fire V and Vagrant Story the same game? Think about it
>>726786847>1 and 2 are irredeemably awful video gamesjust say you don't like JRPGs. 2 was absolutely feature-packed for 1994.
>>726786912not even close.Vagrant Story isn't even Parasite Eve. the wireframe targeting zone is literally the only thing it lifted from PE.
>>726786912no lol
>>726787131The second game is a turd. It's actually worse than the first game and has a worse Shaman system where a slight breeze will cancel your forms. Both games have some of the worst level design ever seen in the genre. 1 has a dungeon consisting of small corridors that look identical, and the screen spins around to make you waste even more time in its trash dungeons. BoF2 was bad in 1994.
>>726781742Some people may have played an utterly fucked version (PAL)
>>726787860I played the PAL version on PS2 and it still ended up being one of my favorite games on the system.
>>726787473>Both games have some of the worst level design ever seen in the genre.you have played 3 JRPGs, none of them made before 1993.
>>7267885073 more than you apparently.
>>726784265You don't have to die to get those. You can just finish the game and see them on replay. They're tied to D-ratio which is broadly centered around playing well and doing things efficiently where foreknowledge is an asset from having finished the game already. (Or brick walling because of D-counter for whatever reason and going further next time).It's also just a short game.
This is the only BoF game I've played but I really like it, I just did a replay (or several replays technically) recently and finally got 1/4 D-Ratio.>>726787860I heard about this, that you can't do temp saves in PAL. Does anyone know why that is? Are other things messed up in the PAL version too?
>>726789223Now play the old ones
>>726785136Yes, it does and I will quote it.>Knowing when to give up and when to continue are to proceeding the game.>Let's say you know what's in a treasure chest. But enemies are over-running the place. You can:>1. Bite the bullet and D Dash>2. By some miracle you manage to get the skill within the treasure box!>But your D-Counter is almost at 100%!!!>3. Time to give up and restart the game. This time you'll know enough to have that skill memorized and ready to use!That's not encouragement to die. That's outlining your options in an unwinnable situation. Something that will happen to everybody at least once. At which point they learn that it really is important to ration and manage your D-Counter effectively, since you've now probably fucked around with it and found out how strong it is in fights.
>>726789379I plan to play at least 3 and/or 4 at some point. Are 1 and 2 worth it as well?
>>726780741IV has ntr story btw
>>726789704>Are 1 and 2 worth it as well?Not that much.3 and 4 are fine
>>726789776NTR (Not that Ryu)
