3rd is the best in my eyes too because of the dragons system and it got a playable world map. The only downside of this game is that end that felt so rushed, without that it could have been a more memorable game.

I did not liked as much the 4th, yeah it might be better animated but ffs what it’s so much japanized, it just doesn’t feels right to me. Also they fucked up the dragon’s system so hard.

When I first started posting that image several years ago, replies were fans of 2 who were mad I gave their game a *slightly less* positive review than 1 & 3. Now I don't hear a peep about 2 and it's the Dragon Quarter Defense Force which comes out in a swarm every time.

The dragon gene system in III is overrated as fuck. In BoF you only ever use your dragon form for bosses since regular enemies are always too weak to ever justify it. When boss battles do occur you'll never be encouraged to experiment with your genes, when in a boss battle you'll always just go for whatever genes you feel are strongest. Meanwhile BoFIV's combat system allows you to experiment at all times with the combo system. Even thought the dragon transformation is much simpler you have more potential to goof around with it and the dragon skills you learn later on.
>>5869453
III feels way more cliche I feel. Not to say cliche equals bad automatically but III's plot doesn't really do much for me, it's a simple but inoffensive plot. IV's plot feels like it took real risks. Aspects like Cray, a party member, considering selling you out, Fou-Lu being a well developed morally grey antihero or antagonist, and the fact that Yuna is never killed or truly punished were all really great plot points that drew me into the world much more then the average jrpg. IV's general mix of western and eastern culture made it really interesting to me, compared to most jrpgs which seem to focus on one of those concepts I feel.

They do, I just feel IV's suffering adds the most to its narrative. not to say III or the other's are a walk in the park but with IV scenes like Yuna sacrificing Mami to fire the canon and kill Fou Lu hit me hard. Even though I never would agree with Fou Lu I understood his motivations, he didn't just feel like some edgelord honestly.

I agree 3 is more cliche for sure both in themes and plot, but I just remember getting annoyed by 4 for constantly giving you an objective, then placing pointless time filling tasks back to back in your way to make completing the original objective take way too long. Also fishing spots were less common. I really like fishing.

Only 1 form in BOF4 and you summon awful 3D dragons in annoying cutscenes, sorry it’s not only simpler, it’s also not fun and not cool. Ryu felt so much empowered in BOF3.

And I admit you a thing, at the end of the game you start to face creatures that are really too much stronger compared to the whole game and fights were starting to last forever I tried to avoid battles to finally reach Fou Lu and didn’t managed to kill him every time I tried because I didn’t level up enough. I never finished the game and never saw the end because that last section of the game totally removed my will to watch it.
I’m always sad when I think about it but the last part of the game felt so boring.

Which was the fix the series needed. At least having natural seeming event triggers that actually respond when you interact with them.

Also being one of the most gorgeous games of its era doesn't hurt either.

The objectives aren’t the issue, it’s that the game will toss a pointless tedious task in your way that stops you from completing the objectives.
Like the orphanage thing where you just had to get some information, but then the orphans wanted to play hide and seek, but then when you found all of them you have to go get one more orphan who went into a dungeon. It’s like that for every objective and it’s tedious.

BoF 1, 2 and 3 were all part of a single narrative. BoF 4 was the franchise's answer to Final Fantasy and the first entry in the series where none of the titles were tied together. You can directly blame BoF 4 for the travesties that were BoF 5 and 6.

As far as I'm concerned, the series ended with BoF 3.

BOF I is a grindy, generic, by-the-numbers SNES RPG. Avoid.
BOF II is improved but only up to the level of Earthbound, not the SNES's greats like FFVI or Star Ocean.
BOF III on the PSX is good but the cover art is Americanized and your guy's hairstyle looks like coiled poop for the whole game.
BOF IV is a true PSX classic, easily beating out lesser games like FF9 and Wild Arms.
BOF V on PSdouble is the zenith of the series with astounding music and kino environments. Only flaw is the small # of party members available.
BOF VI is a mobile game. Japan should be atomic bombed again. Clearly the magic radiation has worn off by now.

Myria's always been about controlling the world but throughout history, she's been stopped by the Dragon Clan. BoF2 reveals that the more prayers a divine being receives, the stronger it becomes. Before the first game she opposes Ladon, the Dragon God, and tried to weaken the Dragon Clan by promising wishes and causing a schism between them, forming the Light and Dark Dragon Clans. She gets stomped by proto-Ryu before BoF1 and imprisoned.

The events of BoF1 happen and the Dark Dragons manage to unleash her, but she only enjoys her freedom for about fifteen seconds before Ryu and company show up and shut her down, "killing" her for centuries.

In BoF2 she's still reforming and so her son, xxDEATH_Evan666xx forms a false religion and also opposes Ryu and company. He also gets defeated, but it lays some of the groundwork for how religion works in the universe.

In BoF3 there's a huge timeskip. Myria came back, once again attacked the Dragon Clans, only no deals with them this time, she created a magic race of Dragonslayers dedicated to genociding them, and won the war. Most of the other deities in the franchise, Ladon, Deis, Yggdrassil are defeated to the point that they have almost no followers, and enter torpor. Myria becomes the sole religion in the world.

Curious, literally just finished BoF I on the Switch. I really liked it, I think it was a very solid RPG. I loved the characters and the fusion thing. My only complain was the later part of the game, of those 28 hours the last 9 were simply walking from point A to point B to face a boss. Some of the later quest were fucking pointless, they simply slow you down, specially because they don't even let you figure things out, they straight up tell you were you have to go.

I give it a solid 7/10, will definitely try the other games on the series. I played it on the Switch when it was released alongside the other SNES games because I remember having play it on an emulator back then but never even get to the first boss, so I gave it a go.

>BoF4 isn't canon

Seems pretty convenient to me that a Scientist War Criminal, who formerly worked for an oppressive regime that used pain-fueled bio weapons on several enemy cities, would happen upon the means to create godlike beings and then later on there would be a godlike being trying to impose an oppressive regime onto the world at large in a different game.

It just seems funny to me that a guy who made a fake Snake Lady God would survive through the end of his game and then declare he can make as many fake Snake Lady Gods as he needs, and then in another title of the same game that there would happen to be a fake Snake Lady God.

Its almost like some sort of thing that implies something else, like as if these two things were tethered together in an incredibly subtle way.

But gee, just can't seem to put my finger on it.

I call bullshit.

Can't speak for V and VI but Yuna was still trying to build gods, even after the events of BoF IV and that game establishes what happened to all the Endless becoming mortal and being able to have descendants. It seems pretty obvious that IV is a prequel to the events of the series at large.

Given what Nina's sister ended up as and that pic of Myria there, I'd say Yuna succeeded in ruining shit for everyone, yet again.

Fucking asshole.

It's mechanically more solid than BoF2, with less completely useless options in combat. Having spells always do set amounts of damage opens up the tactical landscape in a weird way, having consumables that give guaranteed critical gives you options in resource management that aren't straight forward, and having items that cast spells gives everyone something to do in every combat, instead of relegating characters to complete pointlessness because they need to conserve MP or the enemy is strong against physical attacks.

It also gives you a good feel for the villains, which is something they obviously cribbed from Square, despite the very strong DQ feel for the overall design of the game. Plus, Inafune did the initial character designs, so the art can be really charming and nostalgic even if you never played it before.

Not that anon but the bit about 1 being more mechanically solid than 2 is why I've put off trying 2 for so long. Is it worth it? I've heard the story is surprisingly good with the new translation that actually let's you understand what's going on but everything about the gameplay sounds like a chore. I'm a story guy so if it's not too bad I could probably deal with it, but even I have limits when putting up with something that's just not very fun.

But deis and dragonsoul people seem to be genuinely magical as fuck up to nearly godly. Ryuu, fou lunch, the dragons in bof4 dont seem to be sufficiently advanced tech. They just plain ol magic.

In 1 2 3 it seems clear it's at least partially sufficiently advanced tech. 5 seems the most genuinely advances tech, and even they are recovering from an apocalypse, so they might have been higher before and created myria ai to restore the surface and then forgot about it or myria never gave them the all clear because humans would just ruin the surface again

>Myria/Deis sister plothole
>Games are standalone

The referenced sisterhood could simply be a cute way of calling each other partial/damaged Gods, and your second statement is incorrect because of a certain mural in BoF3 depicting BoF1.

The problem with Yuna's survival, and his god creating science, is that it serves as a possible explanation for absolutely everything in the games and it becomes almost too convenient. Why wonder about the nature of the setting when Yuna and his fucking Circus Magic created the technological marvel above the great desert where Myria resides, why wonder about the nature of man and demon when Yuna's wizard surgery can make you into a were-tiger or a dragon man, why wonder about Myria's divinity and her praying to God when the Yorae Dragon's great great great great great great grandson just slapped her shit with Super Dragon Saiyan Spirit Strikes? It then just erases all the possible mystery from the series while also being a bit of a boring dead end since we don't really understand anything about Yuna's motivations aside from being a wily mad scientist type.

The lack of the player's knowledge about Yuna's agency is the real problem about the Myria theory- there's no real way to know how far he actually succeeded in his lifetime, what he was even ever going to accomplish with a God and what he could even do if he bothered to make one. Elina is fucking bedridden and the other two gods that came his way he didn't even bother to ask them for anything. The hell would he ever get out of Myria? There's also no reason to not just assume that Yuna went on to create one of the artificial dragons from Dragon Quarter. The Endless were Dragons, why wouldn't a pseudo-endless be anything besides a Dragon? Even if it is a metaphor for nuclear war.

tl;dr Yuna creating Myria makes sense but its also pretty dumb

There's a lot of Myria fuckery making demons and dragon-dudes and a lot of super science fuckery making mutants and giant brain dudes so its hard to parse out who has a natural transformation and who is just some sort of Frankenstein zombie/demon.

>>5889151
Ladon, the revered talking dragon statue nigga, is thought to be BoF4's Ryu after living out his mortal life and possibly creating the Brood by fucking Nina erry day. It could also be a redeemed Fou-lu who shed his old identity after Ryu ousted him and all Endless from the world.
There's really no proof or connection aside from 4Ryu already being a dragon god but if you think 4 is a prequel then its another one of those things that just makes sense.

I remember wondering if the Mud Sea was supposed to indicate a post-Myria world where the desert spread into the sea or if it was meant to be a primordial world where the sea hadn't settled just yet. It doesn't help that a lot of Fantasy settings seem to have vague stories of their shit-world being terraformed by some godlike being at some point.

So not sure what to think of 4 as a prequel/sequel. Especially when its main theme is endings and beginnings- maybe its just the end and begin of the next Myria cycle, maybe not

Is that bad to think that non of BoF games are really connected together? They are just taking some elements from previous games to put them in the next, that’s all.
It’s like fou-lu it’s the idea of a rival of the hero, a guy who have the same powers and that idea come from teepo from bof3 but the difference is that teepo wasn’t exploited and only appears at the very end.
Sometimes you have also some Easter eggs like a previous hero as an npc character in the next game but it’s never more.

You can argue this for 4 & 5 but I don't see how you'd argue it for 1, 2 & 3 when they clearly reference each other directly in the main story.

>prove a negative!
Usually the burden of proof is on the person asserting that there is a connection, but sure, I'll play.

The idea of the connection is that BoF4 takes place BEFORE BoF1. Deis and Ryu continuing to exist and Yuna later summoning Ladon, Myria, Yggdrassil and all the other Endless / Gods.

This doesn't work for multiple reasons. The first of which is that Ryu doesn't exist as a god in any of the first three games. Even if you extrapolate that Ryu becomes Ladon, there's still no explanation for how the Dragon clan came into being. Or how Myria and Deis could be sisters. Even if they suddenly just decide that all Endless are siblings, something not supported by BoF 4, none of the other BoF deities refer to each other as siblings.

Next, Nina from BoF4 can't fly or turn into a bird. In the BoF series, the Wing Clan first lose their ability to turn into birds, then the ability to fly, and finally even glide. The Wing Clan in BoF4 has flight ability commensurate with the Wing Clan between 2 and 3.

Of course, the whole BoF4 prequel theory only works with Yuna. And the developers have outright said that he was supposed to die, but it was cut for time constraints. Clearly, it was never their intent that he be part of the story further.

I have never seen such a "Where's Waldo" smorgasbord of incorrect assertions.

You don't understand burden of proof, at all.
You stated the incorrect Theory.
You don't even address the incorrect theory that you asserted with any lore arguments.
You ramble on lore inconsistencies yet the Theory is that the available setting from 4 transforms into 1.

All of your stated Lore reasons are easy to create an explanation for:
>Ryu 4 remains in the mortal world and probably starts a family which results in the Brood existing.
>The Brood then could schism into Light & Dark Clans
>Ryu 4, as an ex-God, calcifies into a dragon statue and becomes Ladon, The only talking spiritual totem in the series.
>Lack of Gods allows Wind Clan to tap into Bird Form? Somehow???
>Deis is a coy slut goddess and calls the only other being in the setting that is like her a "Sister".
>Deis eventually gets a body but the bottom half becomes draconic/snake-like in line with all the other Gods turning into draconic beings

The only thing that you assert that might back up your assertion that they can't possibly be connected is that some guy in an interview said "oh, whoops!". An interview that you can't provide, can't provide the name of the person interviewed or even a direct quote- just that it totally happened and therefore stop thinking, stop finding connections, don't find any wonder or mystery - just stop.

Were you molested while playing BoF4? I feel like your entire line of reasoning comes from some emotional knee-jerk reaction where you have some baggage about anything touching your precious trilogy the same way your uncle touched your precious trilogy.

SNES version + the Retranslation patch.

vanilla SNES and GBA have the same translation and it's not very good. At best, it's readable. At worst, it makes confusing statements and drops all kinds of detail from the narrative.

I have never seen a "Autistic Andy has a public meltdown at the Park" smorgasbord of screeching non-points like this.

You don't understand burden of proof, at all. Here, let me educate you. Burden of proof means "the obligation to prove one's assertion." You made a claim that's contradicted by the general consensus. It's your burden to prove that claim. You WANTING it to be true is not evidence. You dropping to ad hominem when challenged is not evidence. Understand? No? Didn't think so.

>Ryu 4 remains in the mortal world and probably starts a family which results in the Brood existing.
So, in your theory, Myria, Deis and Ryu are Endless. Only Ryu can breed, apparently, which stops his children from being Endless because they become the Brood. Except this is contradicted by canon lore. Myria had a child and it was an immortal god too. Please actually play the games next time.
>The only talking spiritual totem in the series.
Incorrect, there's also Yggdrassil.
>Lack of Gods allows Wind Clan to tap into Bird Form? Somehow???
Again, PLEASE PLAY THE GAMES. A theme through the trilogy is that the Wing Clan is losing their powers. Originally they could all turn into enormous birds, and could fly with their natural wings. They begin to lose those powers when the clan started intermingling in BoF1 (as addressed in-game in BoF2 if you'd ever actually play them), first the shapeshift, then flight, then even gliding. By BoF3, most don't even have wings at all. BoF4 Nina is approximately at a stage between BoF2 and 3. How? How is she weaker than BoF1 Nina when the Wing Clan hadn't intermingled yet? There wasn't even a Brood for her to have mated with.
>Deis is a coy slut goddess and calls the only other being in the setting that is like her a "Sister".
Except by your logic, the Brood are brothers and sisters, since they're all Endless. Same with Ladon, Yggdrassil, and YET. Only Deis and Myria are half-serpent women.

>Deis eventually gets a body but the bottom half becomes draconic/snake-like in line with all the other Gods turning into draconic beings
Yeah, nice try. Only Myria and Deis in the entire game share the same form, and they refer to each other as sisters. At no point in any part of the trilogy do they acknowledge a kinship with any other God or the Brood or Ryu.

>The only thing that you assert that might back up your assertion that they can't possibly be connected is that some guy in an interview said "oh, whoops!". An interview that you can't provide, can't provide the name of the person interviewed or even a direct quote- just that it totally happened and therefore stop thinking, stop finding connections, don't find any wonder or mystery - just stop.
Except it's referenced everywhere online and has been for the past twenty years. I know, little zoom-zoom, you can't conceive of a world without internet, but not everything in the late 90's / early 00's, ESPECIALLY in other countries was posted everywhere for everyone to reference. Now, again, burden of proof. If you think all the wikis, gaming sites, and forums are wrong and that YOU ALONE hold the shining truth on the matter, feel free to disprove it. We're all waiting.

All you have so far is a broken thesis that contradicts lore and proves you never actually played the original trilogy.

>Were you molested while playing BoF4?
I was molested by retarded BoF4 players. You lot a worse than Kattfag and bring the series to Sonic levels. It can't just be a good standalone game. You have this autistic need that it be included with the original trilogy, despite the fact it clearly isn't. It's okay that 5 and 6 weren't, but NOT FOUR, NEVER FOUR!!!

Just started I, how much grind is needed? I try to base leveling on how much dungeon mobs do, but at least with frog boss it seemed that without herbs to help out I was slightly underleveled.

Seems relatively decent so far even though I just started, menu shows age though.

Really only at the very beginning do you need to grind a level or two just to survive random encounters (especially when Bulla come in pairs) but very quickly it'll taper off to manageable.

After you wreck the shit out of that earthquake town you'll get the E.Key which you can use as an item in battle to waste mobs quickly since it deals 30 HP damage to all every time. You'll be relying on that for quite a while, especially as Nina.

I suppose the combo system in 4 was more important to them than the dragon system. They probably didn't want the massive size of a dragon form to prevent it from being able to combo with the party.

The dragon system itself was pretty wanting and not very inventive when compared with 3. I would have liked to see something a bit more involved, possibly having Ryu enter a Draconic State, the same way he already does, and then somehow moving towards the final form. Maybe by casting that element of magic or performing a combo with it.

For me though: I really like these snake forms. Looks comfy to live in, probably looks cute drinking out a cup.

I forgot how much I love 3 I used to do yearly runs of it probably do one soon cause of this thread.
4 fags can get bent. 3 is the superior game.
4 fags are just graphic whores. thats literally the only thing that game has going for it. the ending is such a fucking mess and wasting my time to get there angered me so much I'll never touch that game in my life. on the other hand 3 has great moments great gameplay and an epic ending. just wish my boy teepo got more screen time.
