A few cheap shots right in the feels and one of the worst dragon "systems" in the series. Also, a somewhat neat fusion system to boost your allies that never lives up to its full potential. The township is kinda cool, but only if you get the best residents, i.e. the ones you can use to obtain the MP restoring items that don't suck.
The best boss in the series, bar none, but he calls you a pussy if you fight him at his full strength and he holds back if you fight him honorably, so you never feel 100% satisfied as a result. Square-enix would do something similar years later, but at least old Edward Geraldine gets a baller ass cape AND respect. All Ryu-2 gets is the latter. Aim only at the headsuckers.

An interesting but kind of dull game. The fusion system is cool and the plot is kind of cool for a 16 bit jrpg but ultimately I just think you're better off sticking with III/IV for BoF. Definitely try it but I think there's a reason it isn't discussed as much as stuff like chrono trigger.

This is the last time you are using that picture.

"Breath of Fire is the most absolute fucking dogshit series ever made with most pretentious vocal fanbase of dozen of cucks, most of them being nu-males. The only redeeming factor is the sweety semi-muscled gladiator catgirl who is a bully.

>1 is generic barebones. Nothing memorable. Has the most insufferable and vocal fans who grew up on it, thus enable to adequately judge things.
>2 has too many useless, irrelevant, good-for-nothing characters no one gives a shit about, their sluggish sections that will make you want to kill yourself, and not enough Katt spotlight. Worst vidya translation. If you are gonna play it for the catgirl (Katt), grab the re-translated version and "BoF2 Monster Editor" to tweak money/exp rates. Don't ever buy a BoF game EVER. Don't forget to hunt on the field with Katt/Lin, and fuse her with the shamans!
>3 is baby's first BoF, barebones as much as 2 (muh dragoon genes), meh story, useless edgy gay furry excuse of a Woren party member, frothing at the mouth and bent on revenge (at least after the skip). Garr is god-a-like. Momo is a qt.

>> No.3951427

>>3951416
>4 is edgy (the entirety of Fou-Lu ark and Fou-Lu character) unfinished mess (do I need to say it again?) liked by pretentious cucks (muh Elina absolutely irrelevant to the plot, muh Chinese dragoons, muh dindu nuffing Yuna, again irrelevant with his mutants other than that he meanly tricked the Emperor) with ugly 3D instead of sprites and a piss filter (muh desert setting). Somewhat managed to pull off a worse Woren than 3. Insufferable Ryu's companions. Deis/Bleu (not Ershin) is the worst in the series, selfish, irresponsible and disgusting (although she's already the worst girl who is being shoved in every game but laughingly getting fuck all of fanart). Ursula was good though. Fishing is the best thing from the game.
>5 is actually kind of good, it would be better off without Nina and "I must help Nina!" plot at all. Traps, positioning, combos (it's a turn based game you faggot), managing your dragon meter (unlike in other games). The downside is that the game's kind of ugly. Lin (Dragon Quater) is a bad-ass motherfucka who shoots niggas with a gun, sniper rifle and a rocket launcher, rebels against the authority and rides genics. She's a Woren as confirmed by devs. Dragon Quarter emulates well. Set TC/NiggerC offsets in GSDX "spec fixes" to 500 both.

That's be it. And the series barely scrapped it to 3 6-figures worth of sales, is dead, and only Katt out of all the characters is getting pics. The series is dead and I am glad for that we won't see this turd in a foil ever again. It's not like they would have had Katt in a dragon quarter styled game or something after the best game's reception by uncouth masses and casuals. Game isn't even hard. How those "people" even walk - a mystery."

As you can see, I like Katt AND Dragon Quarter.

So basically both of us liking only two things from the series make us even. You don't have to chew everything to consider yourself a fan. Fan is either a subjective (to us customers) or a monetary (to them companies) construct. If they take a high-profit pseudo-intellectual and "artsy" series and put a furry ass in who starts to print more money than anything else, then be it. All other talk about who is a bigger e-fan is nothing but idle talk.

I don't hate II, I think its a bit dull but it has some really interesting aslects such as shaman transformation and the town building. My main problem is it suffers from a high encounter rate making areas feel like more of a slog then they should be.

Neither IV perfect, though I do admit it is my favorite. IV loses steam in chapter 3 once a bunch of pointless side quests are made required to complete the game such as finding the cure for the fuzzy people and getting the chicken for the guy. Although I like it Fou Lu's story feels a bit incomplete and rushed at the end.

Beastmen in Japanese media can look like actual beasts, monsters, or some unique race of evolved animals. >>3952412 lists some good examples. The kobolds in Suikoden are also a fave of mine.
When it comes to females though, cuteness tends to take more priority so I guess they can't really tread farther than the most basic indications of something that isn't human before it messes with the cute aspects.
I'm probably just speaking out of my ass though, but it's an explanation for something we've all noticed.

I would agree with you if there already weren't examples of characters in media exhibiting a balance of both cute and animalistic elements without one compromising the other. It's just that, as I've said before, the majority of Jap artists are pretty fucking bad at it so they go with one of the laziest design cop-outs imaginable.

Are you saying crushing on Katt wasn't part of your childhood? I find it far weirder that you boring bland assholes are fighting against quality pics of a hot game character from our youth. Are you all robots or something? Or do cat ears and furry legs make it too 'weird' for you? I guarantee you'd be doing the same shit if it were Nina or any other character, though. "Enjoying good art of an attractive character makes you autistic". Way to try and scare off what small scrapings of an enthusiastic audience might still exist for a nearly 25-year-old RPG.

Posting more Katt 'cuz fuck yall's noise.

How did the animal people come about? Are humans able to reproduce through bestiality in the BoF world?
