I just bought this game as well as final Fantasy Tactics and a bunch of other good RPGs . I am 30 now and have a good life and kids etc and at this point in life I'm taking the to slow down and remember the things I've loved and miss from being a kid . I'm already two hours into BOF3 and loving it! I missed the random battles and story and great characters and oh my god I've missed fishing ! The fishing mini game is so fun and peaceful . Discovering genes for my dragon! Training boyd he 98 pound weakling so he can get his girlfriend . Running wild through the Forrest with teepo and rei! Going after the corrupt mayor . Just all of it . I feel like I'm 13 all over again
Since playing this,I have lost my mother,father grandfather,etc.I was a kid then.Watching this makes my heart hurt and Happy all at once!!Ty for uploading all of this-Sunder85
I’ve lost my older brother who had been the one playing this when we were kids. He had passed away last year at the age of 32. Since then I’ve been just browsing through youtube watching gameplays of the games that he used to play to reminisce and remember him by. I just think as if he was the one playing, and I’m just the little sister that has been watching him play in awe all this time. I’m sorry you had lost loved ones too… we’ll meet them again someday. Maybe.
Loved this game growing up. Took me years to beat. That stupid riddle where you had to pray in front of the statue (i.e. just stand there for like 10 seconds. Seriously!? FU!) made me put the game down for a full year before I picked it up and just randomly figured it out. Those were the days of no internet! Still, super nostalgia watching this. I remember wanting to dye my hair blue because I thought the main character sprite was so cool. Hahaha. Great run!
The breath of fire games were awesome. the sad story the retturning characters, and npc's the music everything. What i would give for a spiritual successor BoF game.. It makes me sad there will never be a good BoF game again:(
LiftedX You could always emulate thats what I did a while back. Played the game from start to end, got all the genes and skills. It was very fun and nostalgic sometimes you just have to finish those small chapters in your life to move on lol
Breath of Fire 4 was still ok, although didn't like the story or the characters as much, plus the dragon gene system was entirely gone, that was dissapointing. And I liked this art style better. Overall this is my fav BoF game of all, and honestly it's my fav RPG of all time, but BoF 4 was atleast still decent, BoF 5 was horrible, and 6 is a mobile game...
I have beat this game probably over a dozen times and it still doesn't get old over the years. One of the best games i have ever played since it came out when i was growing up. Now i wanna play it again xD have not played for a few years now
i remember i was so happy when i saw the Weretiger i knew its Ray ^^ Games like this or Suikoden 2 show that Graphic isnt everything . Today stupid Kids always cry for Graphic
This was actually a pretty good story lol I remember being stuck under Wydia till I was level 22 before I even found out I was meant to look on the stone XD The desert was a pain too I was always I was level 30 then and by the time I figured out how to get to oasis I was level 45 XD
The onlything i dislike these days the random encounters.... prefer walking free and if i want to level up i'll go look for monsters. I just don't the patience anymore i guess :-)
Fun Fact - Before the shift in character design staff, Momo's face was suppose to be based on the rabbit, not dog (Grass Runner) as she was later forcefully reclassified as. This was evident by Ryu's Dragon Fusion form with Momo, which takes the form of a rabbit, not a dog.
Wow I can't believe I just watched the whole video! Awesome speedrun! It is insane that he doesn't heal the entire run even at the end when he has no life with any character. Super combo is the most broken move in the game. Breath of fire 3 is such a classic!
While I love this game, and would love to see a remake...if Capcom were to remake this for the PS4, I could see them taking Square Enix's approach to how they're remaking FF7 in "episodes", and release BoF3 in two "episodes". The first part could be Ryu as a kid, and the second part could be while he's an adult.
@@Bobsob He was on the floor below the platform, when battle was initiated, the game placed them on the stage, effectively allowing them to skip a puzzle and lots of random encounters.
BiotreX I remember back in the day I was stuck for days but I finally got through totally by random chance after like one straight real time hour ... Damn it was painful. Thank god there are teleporters later on to avoid going thru the desert again. From what I've read it was a translation error.
What he tells you are the correct directions. What he writes in his guide that you refer to out in the desert are the WRONG directions. It's a tiny little trick they played that made that whole section utter hell. Crueeeeel!
thx for upload the video bof3 was a brilliant game for me as kid, hours of playin it was a great fun. Another title which is great is Lufia 2 for Snes greetz
can somebody please explain to me as to why there are different Ryus and Ninas for every BOF game and how they don't know eachother everytime? Sorry, please correct me if I'm wrong.
So I've been wondering why this game is NEVER speedran at the various speedrun events that are held each year like AGDQ and others. Why does it seem like nobody runs this game? Because there's no way to speedrun it fast? I mean even tool assisted it's almost 8 hours, is that why?
1) Name isn't Cray in BoF3. 2) Nope, they're entirely different games. 3) Nina and Ryu are recurring characters in every single BoF from 1 through 5. 4) BoF2 was the first game to introduce a cat race, of which Rei is the party representative in BoF3, while Cray is the rep in BoF4. If you liked BoF4 I highly suggest playing this game. A lot of the concepts for dragon genes started in 3, though 3 did a better job with them. Plus the Master system offers a lot of replay value.
Does anybody know how to get past the part where Garr joins your party? Every time I get to that part I get an error saying 'file not found ID 01/02/05'
if Peco is really worth using? Are you kiddin' me? An ally that regenerates, can learn all the breaths, and has the highest counter attack rate is of course going to be worth using! and fairy village isn't really a thing i used in any of my runs.of course it gives you amazing stuff though so use it if you wish.
I thought that originally too, but if you were "God," I'm sure you would try to make this world "better" as you believe it should be. Maria changed the world and didn't want people to destroy themselves. Dragons and other weapons were so powerful that they could destroy the entire world, like nuclear and bio weapons in the real world. It only takes one bad nation or person to really devastate or destroy the Earth. Same concept was in BoF 3, it has a very deep meaning to it.
Why are people asking him how he get such a high Super Combo, this is a speedrun, he's just doing anything he can too finish faster, Super Combo like that takes the fun out of the game.
Breath of Fire 4 was the best for me. Better soundtrack, best among all bof in terms of spells and combos. And of course the hidden items, the map, the soundtrack, hidden dragons, hidden masters felt the jrpg in me
@Yatouh I saw afterwards. Clearly he only wanted 23 at that time but can go as much further. I think my best was 16 hits, and that was ONCE and I average 11~12 or something. The desert stole 5 years of my life as I was completely incapable of crossing the Desert of Death. I think I read of 6 different methods and each of them failed. I found so many Fish Eyes in the random battles, Ryu was faster than Rei despite Rei's speed-trainer and Ryu's anti-speed trainer.
This video seems really sped up, the music is faster than usual by just a bit. But then, i think that's because of the slight framerate difference between my PAL version and this guys NTSC one
