Back in the day, I had to rent this game to play it. I rented it over and over again. One year, my Mom bought me this game for Christmas and wrapped behind the couch while I was playing the rented version.
I used to play BoF3 as a child, too, but, uh... I never got past McNeil's mansion... I never found that guy's wallet. It's still one of my favorite games to this day, despite it being the polar opposite of the kind of games I like playing. It doesn't help that I have a *_slight_* completionist streak with single player games that doesn't exactly mesh well with RPGs, as you can probably imagine.
For me it's one of the greatest games ever. I remember being stuck in one dungeon for a week. What a game it was. I also loved FFVII, Metal Gear Solid and Tekken 3
Hands down greatest game of all time for me. And it is not even close (Symphony of the Night and Dark Souls are tied for second). It had everything, scope, great combat and story, pure nostalgia factor, amazing music and gameplay. I could go on and on but my god what an amazing game that was so well made as well. To think it was created by Capcom is the most insane part.
Why is the series creator of Capcom insane? Capcom has pretty descent IP - MegaMan, and Street Fighter to name a couple. They're a household name in game development.
@@wjb4578 Because they aren't known as prolific RPG makers of games. MegaMan and Street Fighter are iconic but they aren't RPG games. Capcom was never a Squaresoft type which makes this RPG being one of my most played surprising because Capcom isn't known for RPGs.
There are so few games in which you become so attached to the characters. The storyline is up there with FF7 focusing more on the purpose of existence and the relationship between us and god. It is a marvelous game and will always have a special place in my heart.
Thank you for this! Breath of Fire III is one of my alltime favourite games (and series). The story, setting, music, spritework, and a good portion of nostalgia (I played this when I was between 11 and 13 something)! I *_love_* this game!
I play this, Chrono Trigger, all the ps1 Final Fantasies, ff6, Earthbound, and BoF 2 and 4 annually. This is probably the most underrated RPG as it is perfect. EDIT: Also Star Ocean 2
I played breath of fire 3 when I was 11. At 1:11:11 is tragic I really sad when I met this scene first time. But that make me feel we cannot judge anything just seen some part. Because everything have two side! Now I still play sometime on mobile emulator. Very nostalgia :)
yeah that scene broke my heart. I had to stop playing. I felt excited at first that I was taking on a scary monster, but after knowing it was just a mother, I felt terrible. I must have not understood it as a kid because I thought I killed the babies. they were already dead. And I also must have had a crazy imagination because I remember seeing the Nue with a much more painful/scared face after it dies while covering the cave.
I played this as a child, and could not for the life of me remember the name of this game. I've played BoF games through and through and this one was always just out of reach. I cannot tell you how much I've wanted to revisit this game.
Here is a secret that isn't even in any FAQS or guides. if you make it to the cave at level 3, you can hurt the BAT without killing it. The hurt bat will start casting the GLOOM spell, that turns you undead so you can't heal. This spell works on some annoying bosses that heal themselves. The next time you can get this spell is over half way through the game.
Wow! Crazy how things like that are buried in this game. To add something useful to your find: apparently you have to do exactly 5 damage to a bat to trigger it.
+Adam Bilyea Well, if you owned the official game, then it would be ok if you downloaded this game online in .bin format from ROM sites. Afterwards, you can just download ePSXe (costs a few bucks on the playstore) for android and emulate on the phone. Works great for me. Playing various PS 1 RPG titles on my android with no hiccups. Do note, you also need a BIOS file for the emulator to work.
yes indeed. i have a psp set up for ps1 games mainly rpgs and my favs from back in the day. I use a program that takes the bin and compresses the file where the psp will pick it up and read from the mem stick. I can set up custom icons , intro loading screen, psp preview music, ect. really neat. But nothing beats having the original game in your collection.
As a child, Ryu sports a beige and dark green tunic jumper shorts with a white undershirt with large, white and brown boots. As an adult he wears a blue gray and red breastplate under a white long vest, with a large baggy olive green pants and broots. Both in his childhood and adolescene, he wears red shoulder guards and the orange scarf that they wear is different which the color of his scarf in his childhood years is red orange as his adolescene years' scarf is yellow orange. His hair is always seen blue and spiky, and his eyes match that color.
dude this game was soooooooooooo good! i remember even after i beat the game i had to come back to see all the dragons and the special moves....i still have the ps1 disc for this and breath of fire 4!
i still remember when i was a little kid playing this on ps1 not knowing what i was doing but the wood chucking scene stuck with me until today. i can advise people to get a psp since BoF3 is buyable for that system too. its great to have on the go
for those that wish to play it again...ppsspp is a free psp emulator for android and breath of fire was released for psp as well. so you can relive that old rpg goodness
I once bought a used psp off Amazon for a transfer project long story short the psp had iso games on there and this was one of em . if you love breath of fire 3 and 4 be sure to pick up sega shining force
I change the out come for the battle with horse brother saving the nina I took 2 week just leveling till 40 before i trigger the horse brother art and I don't know heal can work on nina I just fight till nina woken up how stupid I am (=_=)
I love this game but i never realized how few sound effects there are, its a pretty quiet game outside of the music, not even any footstep sounds, weird.
I remember this game, I remember I liked Teepo about as much as a skin rash!!! (maybe a little less)..This video pretty much shows me, yup.... I still like him about that well.
I JUST BOUGHT THIS GAME FOR MY PS2. PSX GAMES WORK ON MY PS2 SO I WILL BE LOOKING FORWARD TO RECIEVING IT. ITS COMING FROM THE UK AND ITS PAL SO IT SHOULD BE FINE.
no, you'd have to play the game to get it. Its engaging, one of the mechanics that help is the pilfering effect. Also, these games were meant to be played to explore, the encounters gives you time to think about the world as you move through it. Its subtle, and something a lot of games with constant random encounters miss, the experience. Ofc, it might get tedious just watching it.
Its 2am and Im in tears... i used to play this everyday and i cant pass the nina's First puzzle... IM BRAZILIAN AND MY GAME WAS JAPANESE... SUCH A HRD AND DELICIOUS TIME😢
I love you for doing this, no homo. One of the best obscure jRPGs of its age. FU finger for ruining it with Dragon Quarter, capcom. They sure know how to kill a series.
The in Breath of Fire 3 been an need for dragon transformed into a human then young boy named Ryu more about we are Adventure, But it was the kids Rei and Teepo like new about five year ago.
