Breath of Fire

Summary: So you are the main character and go on a quest and complete
puzzles. As you complete different quests you recruit more team members. I know
it is a pretty basic RPG storyline but regardless I would definitely give this
game a go. Graphics are really not all that bad, the battle style is almost
identical to the Final Fantasy battle style except it does not offer as much,
for the first time I would have a spare online strategy guide just in case you
forget what to do if you do not play all the way through at one time otherwise
it is very straight forward.

Graphics and Sound: 7

The game’s soundtracks are all original and not that bad. With the sound
you will either love it or hate it or just will not have an opinion about it
like me. There is a wide variety of basic enemies as well as bosses all with
great and original sprites. I personally love how this game put the sprites
together as well as your party’s sprites. So graphics and sound is better than
the average game on this console and in some cases really well put together for
games in general.

Addictiveness: 6

This game is a love it or hate it game. You will either love the battle
style or you will really hate it, you will either love the graphics or you will
hate them, and you will either play the game over right off the bat after
beating it or you will never play it again. Personally I play Breath of Fire 2
about once a year but I could care less about this one. I am a Final Fantasy
fan and to me this game series is a knock off that does not offer as much so I
tend to give Final Fantasy games another go before I even think about Breath of
Fire. Since not many gamers I know are middle ground about this game as I am I
would have given the addictiveness a 5 but I have found that many gamers have
enjoyed this game and even used the word “classic” when talking about this game
series so I rated this game a 6 for addictiveness.

Story and Depth: 7

The story and depth for not only this title but the whole Breath of Fire
series is extremely similar to Final Fantasy even though it takes not as much
time to complete this title and you do not really need a strategy guide. Now in
my opinion any game that can be compared to Final Fantasy deserves to be given
a shot just because I personally love all the stories throughout the series and
I also love the battle style. Story and depth in my opinion deserve a 7 only
because you could tell it is a knock off of another game series but many
aspects are original and fun to see.

Gameplay: 7.5

Difficulty: 7

This game is an RPG game so it will take you a few hours or a few days to beat the game the first time through. You will not need a strategy guide if you pay attention since this game is very straight to the point. The puzzles can take a few minutes to figure out and if you do not stay on top of leveling before the next area/quest you will have a harder time. Also you may need certain characters to defeat certain bosses easier so you will need to make sure you level up all your characters a couple levels at a time.

Overall: 7

Why or why not I would suggest this game:

If you enjoy the original Final Fantasy titles then
this game is a must play. Every game has a cheap knock off of it but I have to
admit Breath of Fire though it is a knock off of Final Fantasy it is still
considered a classic on its own to many gamers. Leveling up with the space bar
is easy and you never have to worry about over leveling because after
completing quests/missions you recruit more team members. If you have never
played any Final Fantasy titles I do suggest as a gamer you try this game out
first since they are both very similar but Breath of Fire’s gameplay is more
simple and offers a little less to the player.

Glitches:
- 999,999 Gold
Start by depositing all your money. Then, make sure someone in your party has an item worth more than the most expensive item at any store. Try to trade said item for a cheaper one, then when asked if the trade is alright, say No. You will then have 999,999 gold.

Easter Eggs:
- Chun-Li Cameo
While visiting Bleak, talk to the boy who thinks he is a magician. When he asks you to put coins on the table, and he'll make them disappear, agree to it. When he says ''Look behind you'', say No twice, then Yes once. After that, you should see Chun-Li practicing her Lightning Kick.

- See Ryu from Breath of Fire II!
Use Agni the best dragon spell against the Last Boss the Goddess. She will become her ultimate form. When you beat her you will get the "GOOD" Ending. At the end of the good ending you will see Nina, and Ryu smiling with a "The End" message, but wait about 15 seconds, and the old Ryu from Breath of Fire II will appear with a "To Be Continued" message. This is an added cookie exclusive to the GBA Breath of Fire, implying to play the GBA Breath of Fire II.

Secrets:
- Avoid Fighting Pog
When you go to the Dark Dragon's fort in the woods near Tantar/Tuntar, you will talk to a guy that asks you to come with him. Tell him no, and he will ask again. Keep selecting no and Bo will come in and kill him, so you won't have to fight Pog.

- Infinite Battle Loop
To earn a large amount of experience with relative ease, go to Obelisk (the final dungeon of the game. It is floating in the middle of the red lake south of the town, Carmen). When you get up to the boss, Jade, he will ask you if you want to join up with him. Answer "Yes" and you will now be on his "side." DON'T PRESS ANY BUTTON AT THIS POINT!!! After waiting for a while, Jade will tell you that he is bored and that he would like for you and your party to entertain him. Then, you will be forced into battles with easy enemies (one enemy per battle). After a few battles, you will fight a monster called M.Slime. Defeating it will give your party 9999 Experience Points and 9999 Gold. Repeat the process for tons of Experience Points and Gold. To end the "Loop", press any button while waiting and tell him that you "change your mind."

 Why does everyone love this game? There is almost no story or character interaction at all!! Just one boring mission after another..

 Use your first 300 GP to buy an Armpad. Its the best equipment early on for the first 2 dungeons.

 Hardest boss in this game is the Gremlin. Stock up on Meat and W Meat before battling him...or just grind until you're really high level
