I don't think anything was cut. Half way through development though Yoshitora decided he wasn't pleased with his art and redrew all of the game's art in the style we got now. Basically III was going to have an art style like I and II but was changed during development. This is the reason why young Ryu, Teepo, and Nina's sprites look nothing like their final art, it's based on the original art.

I'm reminded that for whatever reason, Ryu, Teepo and Nina all use concept designs for their young sprites instead of the finalized art work or how the ending depicts Ryu and Nina. In fact, the concept art work reminds me of the first two games compared to the more modern and sleeker final art.

Really doesn't matter unless you spend a long time with a master who is detrimental to a character's good stats but if you do that the yu must be brain dead.

Sadly with BoFIII the characters are pretty unbalanced. Basically everyone will just use Ryu, Rei, and Momo. Nina has low hp and magic is kind of shitty in BoFIII, Peco is actually can be a fucking monster but requires so much work to actually make good that rarely does anyone do it, and Garr is just pretty shit sad;y despite how fucking cool he is. Fortunately BoFIV fixed this and everyone feels much more balanced there.

Because people love Yoshikawa's bright, colorful art for III and IV compared to his more typical style seen in I and II.

The old style isn't bad or anything but the new style is phenomenal and gives BoF it's own personality.

Originally the art style used for Breath of Fire III was the same style used in Breath of Fire II. Why Yoshikawa ultimately decided to use the watercolor style he did is unknown.

It always annoyed me how the official art / character portraits had nothing to do with their sprites.
Here's the original artwork, by the way.

Actually, it's Teepo and Ryu.
This one has Teepo, Ryu and Nina.

I always thought it was weird how the portraits were so different from the character sprites.
The original art was not THAT bad...

Teepo was, and always will be my nigga in Breath of Fire 3.

This nigga has both fire AND ice. He's like Gill's grandson or something.
