***Slight Spoiler, I guess.***
I also felt that the game biased too much towards the main character. His powers were so good that he was often the only one doing the attacking for me, and the other two were concentrating on (A) Staying Alive (B) Keeping the main character alive (C) Not letting his AP drop so he comes out of Dragon mode. It would’ve been better if the other characters had been more balanced.
Still worth playing through once though.
Breath of Fire III is a good game. Currently, I’m playing the fourth instalment of the series, but I have II and III.
From what I’ve found out from playing the games, II and III seem, note I said "seem", to be linked together, whilst the fourth is a stand alone. After all, in III, a baby dragon is found in Dragon Mountain. At the end of II, what happened to Ryu? He used his Dragon powers to transform into the Kaiser Dragon and sealed the mountain leading to the Dragon town, and to Deathevn’s chamber. It seems to "fit" together, the story of II and III, at least to me it does.
Still, all in all, the Breath of Fire series is a pretty decent RPG series made by CAPCOM, and while some people may disagree with me here, I think the BoF series can stand up to FF.
