Does that mean... no more Breath of Fire? Forever?

D:

KI: There are currently no plans on making a new Breath of Fire game. Apart from that, regarding RPG titles, they are very popular in Japan, but only certain RPG titles sell so Capcom doesn't really need to even consider making these titles as an option.

Oshi- This is why I shouldn't speak before reading, sleepy or not. I even noticed that and forgot to correct myself.

Sad news though. :'(

It doesn't make any sense though.

In this day and age, where sequels/remakes are increasingly the norm, would Capcom REALLY be so "adventurous" to try making a new RPG series, where the Breath of Fire name is both a) known and at least some-what respected and b) the only reason it fell out of favor was because Dragon Quarter didn't make a splash (shame that, but whatever)?

It sounds like a load of crock. It's not like people don't care about BoF, they just wanted more in line of BoF3 and 4, and when DQ went off on a completely different tangent, it didn't do anything for them. But I would like to think that a series re-launch, that does more to return to form, would probably be decently received, at the least.

I mean, unless a "new RPG" from Capcom was going to be using another brand of Capcom's as a basis (Rockman, BASARA, etc), it would sound like the kind of risk that Capcom suits and stockholders wouldn't want to take a chance on. And I'm sure Inafune, even if he IS the head of R&D, would realize that much.

If they do make a hi-def Mega Man 10, they need to go on ahead and give it the same physics and fluidity of the 8-bit games, and start learning how the positioning of sprites, hitboxes, and the clarity of it all makes all the difference.

For instance, one of the easiest ways to get the maximum amount of jump out of ol' Rock is to look at where his right foot is (on the player's left side).
Such things are probably still true in MMX, MMZ, and MMZX, but those games are focused more on combat. They're also a bit more fun, then crater when they try to imitate the Original series (MMX6, MMZ2, MMZXA).

I want mah Maverick Hunter X2.

...When Larry the reploid accountant goes maverick of his own accord, he's certainly formidable during tax season, but he isn't going to provide X the challenge needed to make him grow as a warrior and reach his potential.

I would like Mega Man 8/& Bass graphics to make a return, but I am also very fine with NES graphics, regarding Mega Man 10. Mega Man 7's graphics feel so distant to me.

My guess that they were cropped/MM8 style graphics. seeing how it WAS used on the SNES, I doubt the graphics looked as fine as they did on the PSX.

Workshop/DA/YT/Photobucket なにかんがえてるの!?
So its about ass now huh? EVEN THE ASS HAS 'EXCEEDED'!

One mention of LEGENDS and everyone goes batshit.  :\

Yep, every time when someone mentions that game people get energized for an apparent reason whatsoever. It's like this everywhere else, trust me.

It got really messy to find my sprite and comic topic, so it's in my sig.

I mean, didn't MM&B have 32-bit sprites while MM8 had 16-bit, just like MM7 only smaller on the screen.

WHOA, no. how long has it been since youve played 8? 8 and MM&Bass had the same sprite style. 8 came first, then MM&bass with mm8 sprites. the snes could run the mm8 sprites well, but the music was rather bad... then later on thy ported it to the GBA with better music.

Cleats to the brain. Seriously, the GBA having the better soundtrack with its terrible compression? R&F having a bad soundtrack? The boss themes alone laugh heartily at this statement.

personal opinion.

Seriously, the difference in sound quality between the SNES RM&F and the GBA one is like day and night, with the SNES having the better soundtrack.

I prefer some GBA songs over the SNES songs, and vice versa. I do love both Dynamo Man Stages and Magic Man Stages though!

Well that's because they were only used for one game!  Those graphics deserve better.  Maybe the next game can use a similar graphical style to 7, but with a greater resolution for the entire screen so that it doesn't feel as cramped as the old handheld games.

I dunno. 7's basic sprite set was used for the Arcade games, Power Battle and Power Fighters, so it's not like they were just a one shot deal.

Frankly, I never cared for the 7 art style that much. It made Rock look too dumpy for his own good, and that larger sprite really threw off my "Mega Timing".   8D

I'd LOVE seeing that.

^This, and have Udon create the art... though, Mega Man 2 might not be the best choice, due to its low animation frame count.  Mega Man 7 might be the better option.  Pretty...  XD



Enjoy life,

Or 8. Now THAT was a trippy game.
