I bought this game and couldnt wait to play it when I first got my GBA, but then I kept getting stuck in the same place and had no patience and then when I saved it didnt show and I had to keep starting over,uggh maybe that just my game but man im staying away from breath of fire and most roleplaying games (no patience). The only thing I liked was the graphics, but if you have great patience go ahead and buy, be my guest.

This is the worst game i've ever played! The graphics [stink] and it is an awful story. Never ever get it cuz you'll never want to play it. I sold it after a week. It is the worst game i ever played.

Confusing Yet Fun...

The only flaw i could find with the characters, is that they have NO reason to join you.

decent

This is a pretty good rpg. i think the people who say its the best ever couldn't be more wrong. I like how there is tons of enemies. This game has too much magic so that it gets rather complicated. If you want the best rpg for game boy advance get golden sun. Its straight forward and self explanetory. Me and my friends didn't even need to read the instructions.

This game is truly a bizarre fantasy

First off, the cover is misleading. Looking at it, one would get the impression that this was a game for kids. While it is suitable for kids, people of any age can enjoy this game. This game is truly a bizarre fantasy. It seems to be set in a midevil world, yet there are futuristic themes in it as well. Dragons rule the world, and the Dark Dragon clan wishes to unlock the secret of Tyr, the goddess of Destruction. You play Ryu, a Light Dragon Warrior in your quest to destroy Zog, the evil emperor plotting to conquer the world. That is your quest. As I have said, this game is takes place in a technological society, yet it is also midevil like as well. The soundtrack is probably the best soundtrack ever, in any video game. Beautiful music. As for the graphics, well today their outdated, obviously. I'd love to see this game remade on the PS3.

Another classic SNES game on the GBA.

Here is another classic game that i somehow missed. People who complain that this game has outdated graphics or sound dont really seem to understand that this was a SNES game & the start of the new series. Very few ports gets a graphic upgrade but playing this game on the DS will make this game look great. Anyways this game gave me alot of entertainment. I would get stuck in various places not knowing where to go & even though the save points were pretty rare in this game they were available. I never had a problem with the saving in this game & i think with some of the newer games they tend to have too many save points. Overall i think this is a great game & a true RPG like Final Fantasy.

Aww cmon! Its a great game!

As much as people complain about this game having no plot I still love it. The characters are really neat. Instead of your obligatory healer mage figher thief you get a hero who can turn into dragons, you get a healer with bird wings. everyone in your party has something unique about them ...except karn....who is basically a load until he learns to fuse with other characters...

Maybe im sick but I wish Bleu was my girlfriend! something about that snake body and those fangs... Did I say that out loud? What I meant was...shes a good....warrior... Actually shes the best damn character in the game hands down. So make sure you put the snake lady in when shes available.

I dont see why people are bitching about difficulty, being lost, and clicheness. I think FF has spoiled everyone personally. Anyone ever play FF1? Disaster!! In fact go play FF1 then come back and play this game. Sure you dont get any rewards for things, your not some bloody mercenary. What do you want anyway? I personally tire of some jerk chucking a new sword at me every time i save his town/life/family. Its like gee guy think you could have let me have that before I was almost eviscerated by the beastie over here?

This is a strictly old school experience, but its fun. Yeah sure the main character is a mute, but....cmon...just...make up things for him to say...like "whoa!" or...."I have a bad feeling about this..." Thats what I do.

I will say that after awhile you might get tired of equipping items with charming names like Slm clk.... Slam Clock? Salem Clerk? what the hell is it!!!

Old SNES Game on the GBA!

Reviewed for Big Boss Games by: T.R.C.

Breath of Fire by Capcom for the Gameboy Advance, Gameboy Micro and Nintendo DS. This is yet another port from the SNES to the GBA system. Breath of fire is one of the lesser-known RPG's that turned out to be really good.

You start out as a young teen and your town is under attack from the DARK dragons.

Your older sister sacrifices herself to save you and the town. Thus starts your quest for revenge. You meet up with a Princess, a Thief, a Bad Merchant, a Wolfen-Hunter, a Mole person, the Brute Ox, and a Sorceress. All of them have talents you will need to get your revenge. Be prepared for a 20 hour-long quest.

Graphics 7/10 - For a GBA based game the graphics are good. There are some movie-like full motion videos.

Music 5/10 - Same as the SNES version, Capcom could have updated it.

Gameplay 9/10 - Fun and addictive, some of the mini-games like fishing, digging, and hunting were lots of fun.

Battle System 6/10 - The same turn based system we all know and love, with the addition of being able to turn into a dragon and morph into a mix of the people on your team. The magic system is earned in levels and by finding the spells.

Overall 7/10 - The game was fun and kept me entertained until the very end.

My only complaint is that they could have updated the story and the music a bit. Burn Baby Burn!
