This song, this game, was ahead of its time. it had such an impact in my childhood, its was due to this game that i learned english, was having trouble with the desert(i was 11 at the time non english speaker) , google translate etc were not a thing back in the day, i took it apon myself on a summer vacation, to fully translate the game to portuguese with a dictionary.
Two overworld themes that represents Ryu's personality. The first part was his childhood full of innocence and discovery. This one is more about his adulthood, fulfilling his destiny and responsibility as the Brood Prince.
Today when I woke up, my mind was playing a fragment of this song but couldn't exactly remember from where. It's been almost 20 years and I finally found it was from this great journey. ...Memories are strange huh? Makes me remember great times like the guy who sent you to die in the desert with the wrong directions. Or my favorite where I got stuck: "Bow down and pray before me..."
bro I called the hotline for that disgusting statue. ABSOLUTE BS! I know exactly what you mean...I hum the boss music to myself now and again. I think of all the games of my childhood, this one will always be a hard stuck in my heart.
dude, i left the game alone for a year after being stuck in there. Then I tried again and did a lot of things before going in there, I didn't left any stone unturned, did everything, killed everything, picked every item, talked to everyone, and yet that thing still asked me to bow down and prey before it. I got depressed when I saw that sign again, and I let the joystick came out of my hands, I literally let go in disbelief... AND THEN IT HAPPENED. I couldn't believe it. I feel you bro.
it's melancholic, like you know that someday you'll have to leave, wether metaphorically or physically. and you can't do nohing about it, so you keep going on and hold on to your hopes and strength.
yes! well said. the only "new" game I found to be so important to me is Okami, for now. there are many talented teams, but the kind of game that BoF is is the result of both wonderful and utterly painful life experiences that are usually known this well only among the older generations. it's hard to find someone this sensitive and down to earth. it truly reflects the empathy and maturity of the composer. and with this, I think we said the same thing with different words again XD
Well, look what happened to me... I had bought that game over 10 years ago when i still used to play with my psp, but never really got too far into the story ( only finished that mission to kill the Nue)... After 10 years i remembered that game and decided to give it another try... Simply amazing! I never expected an old psp game like this have such a big and nice story! Spent hours trying to finish it, and i really had a good time...
Okay, I'm starting to freak out here. Earlier today, before I turned on my computer, I was watching a baseball game and this song started playing in my head. I had no idea why, but I immediately recognized if from BoF3 and remembered how relaxing the tune was. Later on I go to you tube and someone I subscribed to favorited this, and here I am. This is a sign....that I need to download this soundtrack.
I remember when I heard this tune after coming out of the mines after ryu changed to an adult,made me feel like had been away for a long time and so much change had taken place,simply awesome
It was a heck of a lot of work to even get to this point. And with it, you can tell the game's ambient mood changes, even though you know this after Garr's attempt and event to trap Ryu.

+Anthony Reza They didn't ruin the series. The original games will always be here. Not liking BoF5 doesn't make the first four games magically worse. Also, I liked Dragon Quarters. BoF6 looks like a mess though.
BOF 2 and 3 are my childhood, I even play them in present days, BOF 1 bored me to sleep, and 4 tho wasn´t bad, it bored me a little 2, also I didn´t like much of its soundtrack, beacuse 4 disappointed me personally, I didn´t give a chance to 5, more reason after reading the unfortunate reviews.
I agree BOF Dragon Quarters was cancerous if you like it good, but it IS a piece of crap you like it or not..but man 6.....I didn't even know that was a thing until recently...you have no idea how sad that game made me..Breath of Fire is dead.
I love how melancholic and at the same its relaxing, Ryu's childhood was left behind with all that means, all its left its get some answers about the brood's pasr
how I miss those years where all I can think of is playing this type of game genre. If only I have the power to return to those years, I will definitely do it again.
So nostalgic! I remember I got this game on my 13th birthday when it first came out. Time flies huh? Ryu starts off afraid to swing his weapon, gets a backbone when he first meets Nina, and becomes a total bad ass as a young adult.
I'm running a dungeons and dragons campaign. I have a tournament coming up.... and you guess it, Garr is the champion. I come here to listen to bof3 music while I make maps, and write my story. Helps me be creative.
Funny you mention that. I haven't heard this song since 1998 when I played it when I was 13. Now I'm listening to it again 14 years later for the first time in a long time. Even though a lot has changed in real life, it's awesome to know that the game never does.
Because that boss was such a pain! I almost gave up at that part, and unfortunately, I was not mature enough to finish adult Ryu's part of the game. I made it to the last boss and was just devastated by the difficulty I had.
What memories. Those days I spent playing this game nonstop, that evil not good RPG called it back then, as he had gone final fantasy 7 this does not remain at your height, but still, I think it has good story, good rpg mode , good quality and above all, creates a lot of fun to play. I would like that out in Part 2 of this game, because in the end not seen a better world.
Man I had forgotten all about this game. Shame on me. Now that I remember I put it on my top 5 best games of all time. Not in this order: FF7 BoF3 Zelda Ocarina Metroid Prime I’m indecisive about the fifth
I just remembbered a dream that I had forgotten from probably 3/4's of a year ago.... that never happens. The first song I thought of after it was this song because it made me feel loneliness although I have a future and a place in the world I am slowly coming into. And most of my friends, who weren't real, aren't there. But, still, it's as though, they are in some distant place and my new life will always be so far apart. What's gone never comes back even though it's so incomplete....
I really wish they would make another Breath of Fire game. I'm not one of those people blinded by nostalgia that disregard everything Capcom has been doing these days I honestly think that the time is right for a new BoF game. I wouldn't even mind another Dragon Quarter. A new BoF would wash the taste of DmC out of my mouth.
The open ending. = ___= I loved everything about this game, even the ending sequence. But I hated the fact that nothing was solved and the world was practically abandoned when BOFIV was moved into another line of existence all together.
