Breath of Fire - Part 4/6 - Game Boy Advance - ブレス オブ ファイア - Bleu Witch
3Is Breath of Fire I anybody's favorite? Anyone? I didn't think so. XD. Does it mean it's a bad game? Far from it! All JRPG series start somewhere, and BoF's origins are highly respectable. Sure, the SNES original is absolutely brutal, but this GBA version here is much more palatable. Still, it has a ridiculously high amount of random encounters, but it's not all bad in the grand scheme of things. JRPGs enthusiasts like me won't mind *too* much.
BoFI's story is quite simple, but it sets the basis for the future entries. It's a fight of good vs evil, as is almost always the case, but our blue-haired hero who can transform into a dragon and his angel wings companion Nina (who will both come back in different versions of themselves in every subsequent game), make a nice start here. For some reason, Nina is the only character who gets a second PFP (profile picture, lol), later in the game.
The game features a nice cast of characters. From Gobi the fish-man (fish-fish?), to Ox the... ox, and Bo the bow-wielding wolf, and of course Karn, the friendly thief who can fuse with other characters to create incredibly powerful units, to Bleu (French for blue) who has... blue hair and Mogu the mole, there's a lot to like here! You also gotta like the Chun-Li cameo, as well as the Arthur paintings (the main character of Ghosts 'n Goblins).
BoFI is probably the most forgettable entry in the franchise (V and VI don't count), but it's worth playing through once. I'm playing the game here with a Game Boy Player, so the image is not as sharp as it would have been through an emulator, obviously. I also, perhaps, crammed too many pictures of the various boxes' art (SNES and GBA) in here, but let me know which one is your favorite!
