Big Thanks to Bartwieser for being a patron and making this selection!
While I have started other installments in the BoF series, I never finished one until now. I will be making a playlist for this series for the future.
Thank you all for 30k subs! The next RECAPitation will be Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions!
Oni Black Mage hey man! Can you do a Recapitation of the Suikoden series?
I love bof 4 it has an awesome story fun battles 3 is also wonderful I like all 4 of these games they all have great unique stories and gameplay it's always a challenge beating a bof game and a journey
Everyone loves Suikoden 2 ... I really should get on that sometime.
Yesss..do suikoden 1 & 2! One of my best PS games ever!
And btw from BOF series i love 3 the most..fluid battle and nice story
Just get in to it alredy!
Fou-lu is one of the coolest villain in gaming. His sprite+animations are god tier badassness.
He is a antagonist.
I used to put rolls of ducktape around my wrists and pretend I was Fou-Lu. I was a strange kid.
he's no villain.
And his battle theme "Warring God"
@@willian4428 Yuna was the real villain. Sucks that he gets away with all of his crimes thanks to Capcom rushing the game.
No long winded introduction at the start of the video; A basic overview of the game first and then an organized look into each plot point featured in the game. This may be the most perfect Video game overview on youtube...
As a kid seeing what had happened to Nina's sister fucked with my head so bad.
Your videos are great man! I was just watching your FF recaps, thinking "man it would be so cool if he had BoF III/IV recaps, but no one really talks about those games" and lo and behold. Please do BoF 3!!!
The only thing I miss about being university freshmen - I had all time in the world to play such long games. Now it takes me several weeks to several months to complete one game.
Truth
That is why for me, the Switch is like heaven sent!
I hear that, the struggles of an adult gamer.
BoF4 can be completed in 30~40h if you know what you are doing. And about 60h for the first playthrough.
Speed runners can do it in less than 10h...
@@vitor900000 sometimes adult gamers don't have time to do that except in holiday season. There's a lot responsibility to do
I got this game when I was in high school. Late 90's/early 2000's were such a great time for RPG's.
Nice man! Breath of Fire 3 and Breath of Fire 4 were awesome! And back then when I played them no guides or stuff like that. Too bad Capcom decided to stop the series.
its not necesarily a bad thing they stopped the series..you cant have 10 games of the same stuff over and over again, you could mention Resident evil series to me, but that series, for me, died after RE4. At RE5 and forward it becamse less of what it was (terror) and took a newer setting and approach (action) while also making the whole story more convoluted and twisting.
To continue the series it was a neccesary a change of course, but those old timers like me who got used to the feeling of the first RE games, its all out of the box and meant for the new generations better.
I am glad to consider BOF4 the last game, although there exists BOF 5 (weird different settings) and 6 (the one that shouldnt have existed xD).
@@kaiserdragon33 The truth is that RPG's don't sell. Sure Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest always go good but come on, these are the Top Tier stuff.
Sometimes others do sell but NOT Turn Based Ones. Even the FInal Fantasy series stepped away from Turn Based. I mean only Pokemon can keep doing this and even that because it is Pokemon and everyone knows it.
This is one of my most favorite RPG on ps1! Thanks for the nostalgic feeling! Keep up doing great videos!
One of my favorite RPGs. The story could be a bit kitschy and the camera was annoying but I loved the art style, the combat, Ershin, Fou-Lu's gameplay/story segments, the uniqueness of each dragon, even the fairy village mini game worked as a sort of catharsis. Unfortunate they don't make games like this anymore.
This was a ReCap I didn't know I needed.
I grew up loving BoF 3 and 4 (playing 1 and 2 via emulator year later)
Keep up the great game coverage.
im now 34, and will never forget the experiences and emotions this game series gave me.
Stellar recap of one of my favorite ps1 games. You've well earned my like and subscription. Excellent job!
Damn the musical feels. Makes me want to play this through again
Oh my god, this brings back memories. I must have been 11 or 12 when i first played this game (which is 14-15 years ago). I sunk 100+ hours into this game (so much time spent farming fishing points since beating the final boss the right way was pretty much impossible if you didn't power level your characters at end game). Though some of the games mechanics havent aged well (Most people would say fishing is terrible), the story is very well done, and the masters system allows you to really customize your characters. I may actually go back and do another play through of it. Fantastic game for those of you who have never played it. Would recommend!
My love for this game will never die. Downloaded to my Vita where it is played to this day.
One of the best games i ve played, where I've learned my most important lesson,"what will be, will be."
Thank you SO much for doing this! Such an underrated series! The first 4 are classics of the golden age of JRPGs and while BOF3 is typically the fan favorite, 4 has such a gorgeous art direction and distinct music score that really stands apart from the series. Plus I think Capcom really mastered the battle system for the series in this entry. Such a shame the series derailed hard with the 5th and 6th one.
Hope you do more from this series!
I was about to do my afternoon nap. Thanks friend, I've been waiting for this. I hope you do Chronocross and Legend of Legaia next.
Thank you so much for doing this... I hope you make a breath of fire III one since is one of my favourite rpgs of all-time (and my first psx game). Ty so much
Only complaint I have with this game is that Yuna doesn't die. Other than that, I love this game.
IIRC the devs were going to make him the final big bad, but ran out of dev time for that.
It would make sense, as Ryu’s strongest sword that can be stolen from Fou-Lu during the boss fight, and it serves no real purpose if Fou-Lu is the last boss.
I’d love to see the game get a remaster with some DLC or additional content to tell that story. Possibly also some “what if scenarios” too, IE what if Fou-Lu had saved Mami instead, etc.
man, this sounds great - whilst i've obviously seen a billion spoilers here, I reckon I saw them all so fast that i've not processed the majority of them and will most will likely be forgotten when I come around to playing this - so should still be able to enjoy it. Great stuff and this is definitely going on my to-do list :)
Wow, this was a piece of work. Thank you!
Thank you for the vid! i loved this game when i was young and its good to bring so many memories.
Thank you so much for the recapitulation video!
well done, very well paced and explained, played through multiple times but still missed on key story points you sorted for me
best JRPG I played hands down.
And ignore the masterpiece that's BoF5!?
Yes. BoF is a weird master piece...of sh*
@@0Raik dude, BoF5 is a masterpiece if it's not BoF Games. Would people who always plays upperground fabtasy with Dragon just keep fighting human bosses like in 5? Maybe you, but not for them.
nice recap very nostalogic. this game is 1 on my top 5 ps1 jrpg
This was without a doubt one of my favourite game and storyline.
Color palette in this game is lovely 👌 so comfy.
please do rest of the series i love your recaps!
Such underrated game! It was a nice Jrpg :)! So many good memories.
I was just thinking, "Ain't it around time for another Oni Black Mage video?"
Must be a psychic. \
I still won't get over how Yuna gets away with those horrid acts.
So many good memories of this game.
I played BoF3 recently and loved it, this looks really good too and i need to play it at some point!💖
My good sir, could you possibly do suikoden 1 and 2 as well?
Oh yeah forgot to mention thanks for the awesone videos!
Best game i ever played, hope there is a remake for this one.
BoF 1-4, such an underrated series. I was glad that I played all of them during its actual release years. Never regret it ones. This series deserve top places but alas.
i love this kind of sprites
it's pixel art, properly done.
For me, good villains almost always need to feel tied to the hero in order for the conflict to feel meaningful; in this, Breath of Fire 4 truly stands out.
There are two alternate endings based upon Ryu’s acceptance of Fou-Lu’s terms: 1) Fou-Lu defeats Nina’s party and destroys the world; 2) the theoretical scenario where Fou-Lu gets defeated, though I can’t seem to make that happen.
Thanks for doing this video. I hope you do the Breath of Fire 1 through 3 in the future.
I will... I put this one in a playlist as a placeholder and reminder for me in the future.
Thanks
Good job!
it so nostalgic , i play this game surrounding with your rainy day in school holiday in 2002😭😭😭
great game but when i'm kid i stuck at 4:26 this freaking grassland without seeing any camp , back then doesn't have any guide or internet access , i only able to ply till that part everytime but this doesn't stop me to love this game . art music tip top
I truly sad we have not seen a bf 5 what a game!! Thinks so much for making this vidoe!!
I was totally wrong I apologize for my ignorance Breath of Fire 5 has came out a long time ago Breath of Fire 6 is out ad a mobile game and I miss both of them. Here's to the hope for a another full-fledged Breath of Fire game!!
@00Nowhereman thanks for replying, to me this is incredibly bad news at least a mobile game means they're thinking about Breath of Fire but since it's already failed thats just sad. Capcom is a company that I used to respect but it's made a lot of bad choices lately. You may be right this may be the death of Breath of Fire. :(
You forgot another one main character dude, "The Strongest Warrior KAHN"!
I dont know but man there's something about this game that every time i play it, it makes me feel like im home.
The game that got me into RPGs. Not my first RPG that goes to Pokemon but BOF 4 was the one that made me think differently about gaming.
One of my favorite games ever
soo good
I didnt get to beat BOF4 but it was a great follow up to 3, one of my favorite RPG
Informative
The part where Fou-lu is shot with Mami's essence was almost indescribably sad.
Breath of fire 3!! That's the one that needs a recap.
Love your videos man. Please do Chrono Cross!
You're the best man.
Best ASMR video ever.
plz do a shadow hearts recapitation
I hope this have a remake
I hope not. Bof3 and Bof4 are perfect as they are. I'd rather a real continuation to the series.
I love the storyline in this game. I love the music (ESPECIALLY the pre-menu cutscene), and I love the magic combo system in combat. But there are enough things that i dislike (like the decision to go 3D for bosses instead of keeping sprites) that I will always enjoy Breath of Fire III more. I love the art style more in that game, as well as the gene system being superior to the dragon powers in 4.
I've been itching to know the story of this game. An old friend of mine had the CD but it was badly scratched and I never got far past 2hrs of play
Muuuuuuah.... I am playing this rraaaaight nowww
Love this game
will you be doing the suikoden series? it's one of my favourites
I want to see Breath of Fire III please!! :P
Ahhh, them memories...
You going to do Breath of Fire 2?... That is my favorite one.
i was so sad about elina back then..
la historia entre mami y Fou-lu y despues su sacrificio con el carronade canon uno de los momentos mas shockantes de mi infancia
Lol, bruh... i miss this series. Played part 2 for 5 years on the snes. Beat the others in high school. XD Snes for 10+ years. Oh the memories...
I love how u can get bad endings by merging with fou lu to battle your teammates at the last battles.
my favorite game
I own this game too :D
This game have it's own dark side and story which is really good.
Please do Ogre Battle 64 and Ogre Battle March of the Black Queen!
This game was so hard. I couldnt beat it when i was younger.
thx to corona , i play this game again and finished it today , so much nostalgia through the game , when i was a kid no chance to finished this game , im stuck at fou lou tomb and don't know how to progress the game hahah
Make one for Vagrant Story!
AFter playing the game a couple times, but mainly returning to breath of fire 3, after 12 years of playing these games, i can tell they where VERY dark!
There was a lot of death in BOF games, i only know those of 3 and 4 because i barely remember 1 and 2 since i played them only once each.
These games where not really meant for kids.. even though i can realize that when i was a kid those details slipped by me being amazed of the graphics and combat system while paying less attention to what was actually happening.
If it really had finished properly and wasn't this short, it likely would've been the best in the franchise. I mean it's already a great game with an interesting story, this version's Nina is the cutest in design, probably.
But I have several gripes about this game. As I said it was short, probably thanks to editing out Elina's subplot whose promptly forgotten after the first trip to Fou Empire, and a creep like Marlok and a sociopath like Yuna getting away scott free. And I kinda wish this was open world instead of a map based in exploration.
Still overall enjoyed it pretty much.
Pls make a video on breath of fire dragoon’s quarter!
No recapitation for part 2 or 3?
You should do the PlayStation Saga Frontier games.
I miss this game..
Loved this game, mentally I tried to place it in the standard timeline before bof1 but I gave up and accepted it as its own thing.
Though I would say if it did, that deis was the same, and myria was another endless attempt or perhaps the result of trying to get deis her own body.
Either way, I enjoyed the villains very much this game, and especially the carronade.... that thing is all kinds of messed up.
Does anyone have ISO breath of fire IV for PC? All of the ISOs I download cannot be opened
PLZ do it with Breath of Fire III
I never got to finish this one because somebody left my disc sitting out and it got stepped on. I only got to play like five or ten hours into it :(
I hope you do BoF 3, that game was amazing. And I almost hope you do BoF 5, because I can't make it past the first 6 minutes of that game heh
It's sad a lot of ppl didn't play it because it came out close to the FF7 release which was heavily advertised.
I never knew of its existence until this post. Great marketing /sarcasm.
Joe Nitrate Yeah,sadly DQ sucked bad.
5 was garbage you did not miss out on much
This game has the two best villains in RPG history.
Yes , I think the other one was the villain on suikoden 2.
does anyone know what happen in the story before ryu story takes place ? some people said fou lu and won qu were killed 600 years ago then they burried both of them in the borobudur tomb like then some people said they were just waiting for ryu to arrive. also, why the empire want to kill fou lu so badly ? what went wrong ?
Fou-Lu was incomplete, his half (Ryu) was separeted not only by body, but by time as well.
The Empire (aka Emperor Soniel) does not want to give the power of the Empire back to Fou-Lu, Yohm said that for Soniel "The world does not need Gods".
in the alternate ending, while in dragon form, you could heal your friends resulting a response. though their fate is sealed.
the biggest mistake in it was makig Yuna get away with everything.
As much as I like this game, it should have been its own game. It doesn't share the connection like BoF 1-3 had with each other.
Manhwa Fan Of course It Shares....
Lol, you complain that to this game while BoF5 doesn't has anything with the 4 previous games. BoF4 doesn't need a resemblance or connection with the 3 games, but their story still connected. Well, for me it's more like it happen in the different continents than in the maps shown in 1-3. Like it was in the eastern part of the world while 1-3 happen in the western side of the world.
Do you finish the game before making these video? I enjoy watching your video. Greetings from Hong Kong.
Hello! Yes, I always finish the game before making any video. This time it was the first time I actually finished a BoF game.
The Adventure of Mystic Ryu
I played the PC version, but I didnt understand much of the mechanics. At some point I couldn't advance anymore, because my CD seemed flawed :(
oohh, im 2 minutes in but i wanna stop cuz this game looks awesome.. reminds me of golden sun
Please do valkyrie profile and suikoden
yeah good one
