This game was a COMPLETE waste of money, for me. I liked it the first time I played it. WHEN IT WAS CALLED WILD ARMS AND HAD A DECENT PLOT!!! It's a tired concept, with one twist. Unlike most "rehashes" It has NO improvements whatsoever over any other games. Go buy Wild Arms 3. It's much better. Better yet, boycott capcom alltogether. Maybe they'll get the hint and stop producing games like this.

Too hard ,, but intresting.

Were to begine. You start off with 300$ {not that much} and a couple of healkits{it heals u}. You start with rough battels and i know it doesn't get easier. I was prety far, around the middle and it got erased, DAMN!!!. I got mad, started new and too hard that i quit. To topp it off u needed save tokens to save the game,suck doesn't. And they are hard to get, and if u dont save, when u die u start from the begging. Now here is something u can't argue. AWSOME story. It's slow but the things with the dragon power,skills,and your big rival it makes u take the game. ALso its cheap for a game.

I am sure breath of fire is a great game but!!!! as for me i just don't have the time, u have to start-over at least 5 times to actually end this, to collect all the, items (sword ect.... )i only made it to 3 times then i said to myself hey!!! try something that take 8 to 12 hours i hnave that kind of time anyhow the story is very interesting i am sure it will have the fans, i for one like the game but this the first game i started and did not end, i really don't to play a game too long thats just wrong!!!!! Dragon quarters is a good RPG it's no Zelda but it has appeal, maybe one day i'll pick it up and say what the heck but as for now i prefer to play Matal Gear ha ha ha laterz gamers..........

So... mind numbingly... boring

Wow. I wasted a whole hour of my life on this. When I first played it, I watched the opening and thought "This has to own.) I was dead wrong. The music score is terrible, the combat system reeks, and the enemies are so unamagitive. To start it off, all Breath of Fire own, not this one. The music is boring and repetitive. Enuogh said. The combat is ike this: Run, X, any attack (All the animations are the same.), repeat. I only played and hour worth, and I couldn't stand it it was so boring. All in all, avoid at all costs.

Just Horrible

By far this is the worst Breath of Fire game I have ever played. I couldnt even finish the game, because I was so frustrated with so many flaws in the game. It has possibly the worst start of any game I have ever played, so that didnt help, but even once I got past that majority of the game was just a waste of my time, so I stopped playing and went to my local gamestop and sold it and bought another game. Plain and Simple do not buy this game unless your a video game collector who collects the breath of fire series, but other then that its not worth wasting your time on.

Horrible!

This game could be great, but there are so many things WRONG with this game.
You have some dragon ability thing, and if you use it too much it's game over.

In the battle you have certain points to move and fight, you constantly get pushed back by monsters rendering the hero useless in fight, the monsters also have millions of HP making the fights slow.

The graphics are ugly and too dark.

The bosses are annoying, they have a shield which makes beating them take a very long time. And every boss have this shield.

The save system was the worst though, I >>need<< to turn the game off and save whenever I want to since I have a dog who needs my attention and needs to be walked. But you are literaly FORCED to play at least an hour to get to a Save Point, because it takes such a long time to kill monsters. I also don't want to play a game this long!

To Save, you have some "Save Tokens", if you run out, you have to make a restard and loose all your stuff. There are also not enough Save Tokens placed in the game, only 1 by each area. I also accidently threw the Save Tokens away because they are placed by all the other stuff in your back-pack, then I couldn't find any new ones because there are NONE near the ending of the game - URGH!

The weakest installment of the Breath of Fire series

Despite teasing players with potentially intricate themes, such as political subterfuge, rebellion, and betrayal, the story - lynchpin of any great RPG - of Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter never strays too far from its premise. Where plots are generally uninteresting, it is left to the characters to enrich the experience by allowing players to identify with them through the course of their development. Unfortunately, beyond the fact that Ryu actually has a personality in this installment, the characterization is as shallow as a wading pool. Once each of the three characters has established their role (and you guessed it, there are only three), the story drags towards an uninspired conclusion...

Players will reach that ending in 15-20 hours, or perhaps twice that amount, depending on their tolerance for repetitive dungeon crawling and agonizing play mechanics. If innovation means taking traditional turn-based combat and throwing most of it out of a window, including all of its good qualities, then Dragon Quarter has accomplished just that.

The combat system is very limited. Ryu can only do sword attacks, none of which is anything spectacular; horizontal, vertical, and diagonal slashes, some enhanced by fancy effects, comprise his entire repertoire. Nina can only do magic; the usual arsenal of fire, ice, and lightning spells. Rin can only do gun attacks that with the exception of a few, all look the same, but have a variety of strategic effects.

Roaming bland dungeons and engaging in tedious battles comprises the whole of Dragon Quarter's gameplay. Still, there a few details that need to be mentioned. One of the defining elements of the Breath of Fire series is Ryu's ability to transform into a dragon. It is also often the most exciting part. Unfortunately, consistent with the rest of Dragon Quarter, that ability is watered down, unimpressive, and does very little to ease the player's suffering.

In terms of visuals, the game's objective seems to be adequacy, but never to venture as far as to be awe-inspiring. The character models are bland and, the animation isn't even noteworthy. The backgrounds are either sterile corridors reminiscent of hospitals, gritty metallic platforms, or at their best, lavish medieval-style halls. This lack of diversity creates a feeling of insufferable redundancy.

Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter is one of the most boring, trite, unfulfilling gameplay experiences in recent memory. Beware of a game that advertises "healing potions" on the back of the box; it may just be that such a trivial element is actually a highlight next to the rest of the features.
