Breath of Fire III moved
Capcom's
Breath of Fire RPG videogame series to the
Playstation. Now on
CDs, the game became lengthier and more involved. You had the same hero as in the past two games,
Ryu, and the same heroine,
Nina, with four extra characters. This time, unlike the other games, the max characters per battle were three instead of the standard four.
Rei --
Rei is a
were-tiger, who befriends Ryu in the beginning of the game.
Teepo -- A purple-haired boy who is mysteriously seperated from Ryu early in the game. . .
Momo -- You find
Momo in a tower. She is an eccentric
scientist who loves
technology, if she is a bit ditzy.
Garr -- He is a
Guardian, one sent to kill the
Brood, which is the
Dragon clan Ryu belongs to. He joins up with you in a rather interesting way.
Peco --
Peco is a spawn of
Yggdrassil, the tree that controls all nature in the world of Breath of fire III. You find him in a
power plant after destroying a
mutant plant monster.
The plotline in Breath of Fire III greatly improves from that of the past two games on the
Super Nintendo. They also introduce the
Master System, a system of learning
special skills by enlisting under masters. The
Dragon Transformation techniques are accompanied now by
genes, which you can splice and mix to form a multitude of different dragon forms.
Breath of Fire 3 came out early into the
Playstation's life span, is a classic
RPG utilizing 3-D
sprites at their highest. You can also build a
Faerie Village, incorporating
sim videogame elements.
