Well first things first, I filmed the first four episodes today, and after watching them I realized the game moves a little chippy choppy blocky laggy. (That should totally be one word)

So hopefully it can be put up with for ~3 parts in which things may change dramatically or just stop. I'm rather disappointed from the getgo myself and thats not something I like. Anyway, on to the video...

Breath of Fire is a great series and is oft overlooked. Capcom isn't really big into the RPG genre, but they decided to take a couple stabs at it with Final Fantasy doing so well, and when Square is helping you, its kind of a recipe for success. They're just the best in the business.

The games aren't going to get a 10/10 on anyones board. They have some minor flaws like most games, but they certainly try a thing or two as well. The BoF series as a whole gets a knock for having a few too many "boring" segments but I'm not particularly in agreement with that... any adventure is going to have ups and downs, especially when you need to explore or play a role. Once you're involved with the game, a little slow part or two isn't going to make anyone stop playing, is it? Kids these days I tell ya...

The game itself features quality game play, a story and mechanics that were pretty revolutionary at the time -- and henceforth became cliche and/or used as stepping stones for games today. The musical score is absolutely fantastic and this game is absolutely one of my many fond childhood memories.

So hopefully, we can work out these technical difficulties so I can help share not only this game, but its sequel down the line which only continues to amplify and improve the things the first game accomplished -- something sequels today rarely ever achieve.
