Breath of fire 3, Like other breath of fire titles, is about a blue haired boy who has the odd ability to transform into a dragon! In fact, the game play actually starts to show your character, trapped in crystal in some mine somewhere. Two miners blow the crystal up, and you wake up. The two miners are frightened, and attack you, and you get upset and breath fire on them, killing them instantly. Obviously, at this time, you are in dragon form. But you travel through the mines until...
You are stopped by a big beefy buffalo looking man. You are caged up and are to be shipped to some research facility somewhere. But you escape into the forest. It is here that your adventure truly begins. A tiger looking man named Rei finds you while hunting for food, and reluctantly takes you home. And can you blame him? You're a blue haired boy who is naked, just lying face down in the forest.
Rei and his friend, Teepo, take you in and teach you the intricate ways of...muggeng people? That's a majorly heroic start to this game.... But not to worry, your characters, with the exception of the hothead Teepo, reform their ways when Bunyan, a lumberjack, catches them stealing food from his house. To redeem yourselves, he sends you to fight a wild Nue, a monster that has been terrorizing the townspeople worse than you have been. Upon killing the Nue, the people come to love you, and perhaps a little to much.
You find yourselves falling back into the thieves way as you are asked to steal from a rich mayor, so the people of the village can live decently. The deed done, you find that you bit off a bit more than you can chew. Seems the Mayor was in league with some pretty bad people. Two of his "Associates" Balio and Sunder, two horse man brothers, come to kill you, Rei, and Teepo.
You wake up to find yourself back in Bunyan's hut, and he tells you that you are the only one he found. Saddened, you leave the village in search of your friends.
I won't ruin anymore of the story for you, but as I said, the story gets a solid 10 from me. It is very in depth, and stays true to the other Breath of fire titles. However, some may find themselves questioning some of the events in the game. Don't be discouraged, as everything is explained, eventually.
This game is the third of its title, so it had to be made pretty addictive. The game features the main story, a fishing mini game, a fairy town builder, a hide and seek game, and a few other hidden goodies.
The graphics are good for their time, but they could have been less choppy. All of the battle animations were good, but sometimes, the characters would be a little slow in their movements, or come in blocky looking. Possibly just a glitch from the system I used. Either way, the graphics were fairly good.
The sound was very good for a game of its time. The battle music was very anticipating, sad moments held sad tunes, all in all, emotions were covered. However, the lack of much of a variety of music in each area, when you have to spend hours in each left a little wanting in the sound department.
The depth of the game is, how to say, very lacking. Despite the mini games, the hunting for genes to transform into different types of dragons, and finding different combinations for your genes, the story was pretty straight forward, and pretty linear. I didn't find any side missions, and I'm fairly certain there weren't any.
The game wasn't very difficult to understand. With it being the first of its title on the PSX, it was a little hard to get at first. If you hadn't played any of the titles before 3, you wouldn't have been lost, as the story line wasn't the same as either of the previous two, and involved a, though same named character, different universe.
I would defiantly recommend this game to any RPG lover, or anyone who wants to try something a little different. The game does have a lot of replay value, even with the story being so set in stone. There are different ways to build up your characters, and different ways to beat everyone.
