That's retarded.

Why would you think that before it's even released?

We didn't even get any gameplay yet, and you already complain.

That is to say, the music on the site is nice.

The music IS nice.. But, I kinda hope this red-haired guy isn't the Ryu (unless he's, like, some sorta origin of the Dragons or something). Doesn't seem to be a raw reboot, so who knows?

it's also an online touch RPG, with heavy social elements

Really wished that BoF III and IV gets re-released for today's consoles. But if they're gonna re-release I and II as well, they need Watercrown Productions to handle the localization.

I'll reserve my judgment on 6 until more about this surface but I hope it won't be a letdown like Dragon's Quarter.

Well, not all that hopeful but... guess we'll see how it turns out.

Online?
PC-tablets-smartphones only?
Built for touch-control?
Probably no port?
Red hair?!?


I hate everything.

Here's some pictures. It really does look a lot like Maple Story...

Given that most of Capcom's other recent mobile games seem to have had very little effort put into them...

Also, this may just be because I'm only vaguely acquainted with BoF, but those designs don't look too BoF-y to me. And where the heck are Ryu and Nina? :/

The only BoF thing about this is the name.

This is pretty much my reasoning exactly. I've seen others on other sites be happy about this, but only cause they see BREATH OF FIRE and PC together. They don't realize the true nature of this "game"

And that nature seems to go against everything that is Breath of Fire.

My guess is that it's probably going to be a really basic 'create a character' thing, meet characters from the series paradoxically (or get power-ups / cards with them instead), customize the character, grind a lot, and occasionally fight alongside or trade stuff with friends. No care for lore, no damns given for animation, just excellent musical compositions and a likely 'bleh' grindathon otherwise. I gander cards from this because Capcom has a habit of involving cards in these types of games lately, if that Onimusha game and X-Over are anything to go by.

I hope it won't be a letdown like Dragon's Quarter.

First off, it's Dragon Quarter, not <i>Dragon's Quarter</i>.

Secondly, Dragon Quarter was great, a gem way ahead of its time despite its flaws.

I'm in the process of playing the rest of the series (going backwards), right now I'm on the last one (or rather, the first one: BoFI). Despite just starting BoFI, I can confidently say that Dragon Quarter is waaay better than the rest of the series. Seriously, take off those nostalgia goggles.

EDIT: Yep, those games did <i>not</i> age well. I fail to see how people can be so sentimental towards the first four entries to the point of blindly hating five, when the first four are plagued with ridiculously frequent random encounters, basic combat strategies, terrible <i>terrible</i> conveyance, and plots filled with contrived asinine filler sub-plots. Seriously, if not for FAQs, emulation speed ups and save-states*, the games would be unbearable to play.

To be fair, the first four games aren't <i>bad</i>. But they aren't really <i>good</i> either, just "okay", run-of-the-mill, generic, mediocre. But with anthromorphism.

*not because the game is hard, but to save time e.g. trial-and-error pitfalls in dungeon which force at least 5~10 encounters just to get back to where you were? no thanks

Personally, the third game was my favorite of the series. It's cliche, but simultaneously a bit.. Unique, what with seeing Ryu's development over the course of the story alongside the rest of the cast. But trying to go back and play the second game, or even the first, is just an exercise in frustration for me. "Oh, now that the prologue in Breath of Fire 2 is done, it's time for you to head to your first dungeon! Oh by the way, you have to grind to level 10 in your first small section of overworld to even consider surviving in it!"

The SNES games are just a bit too old-school hard for me, I admit it.  :\
