Breath of Fire

About Breath of Fire

Before battling Jade in Obelisk, he will ask you if you want to join him. Say yes and whenever he asks you if you want to change your mind, answer no. Don't do anything and he will soon say, "I'm bored. Entertain me!".

After this there will be a battle scene. You will fight a D.Flea, a Crab, a Flower, a G.Slime, and finally an M.Slime which. If you beat these then you will get the experience and gold.

Classic RPG

When this game came out in 1994, I could barely help myself to run over to Snow's video store and pay the fellow there like 15 bucks to rent this for 2 weeks. I must say this is one of the most underappreciated and addicting RPGs of all time. Back in the days of SNES, the graphics on this title were outstanding, and the premise of getting to change into dragons and fight the burdens of evil is something way to enticing to pass up.

Breath of Fire starts out with the burning of a very small village that housed the remains of the light Dragon clan, which had slowly lost all of it's power over the last few centuries. The only Light Dragon available to ward off evil is Sara, who takes a terrible turn for the worst fighting Jade, a Dark Dragon. Everyone in the village is turned to stone, save one blue haired young man that knows very little of the outside world. Having nothing left at home, he sets out to the next town, hoping to find answers.

Simply a Masterpeice

This was not the first RPG game I ever played, but has been by far the RPG game I have played the most. With loveable characters and an interesting storyline, BOF is a shining example of what a role-playing video game should be.

Playing as Ryu (or whatever name you choose for yourself) you must find your missing sister while learning of your dragon ancestry and defeating the minions of the Dark Dragons. Fighting can be pretty much hack-n-slash, although there are some good magic spells to be learned at higher experience levels. There are eight total characters who join up with Ryu at various points in the game, and four of them can fight in a battle as a group.

The graphics and music are standard for a 16-bit, but the ease of play and story are what keep me coming back.
