Breath of Fire is just like Final fantasy games for Super NES in other words it's the samwe thing as the breath of fire for Super Nintendo there is not much more to say except that i think there may be some new features but i still recommend for you to buy Golden Sun in october instead. there are 9 characters in all and they each got special skill in battle mode and you can buy weapons for them and items to use. its got an OKay story (not the best) and the Grapics are ok for the the Gameboy Advance. Happy Gaming

Bad, Horrendous, DON'T GET IT

This is the worst game i've ever played! The graphics [stink] and it is an awful story. Never ever get it cuz you'll never want to play it. I sold it after a week. It is the worst game i ever played.

Don't listen to the imbecils.

Read above. The first guy had to ruin it. "I IMMEDIATELY RETURNED THIS GAME!!" said the fool. Then how can you give a fair review of it?

Anyway, as someone like myself who has played almost any RPG in existance, and have not been fond of the lackluster games released on the Playstation for the past few years, I must go back and say Breath of Fire is one of my top 5 RPG's of all time. Right next to the likes of Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy 3, Earthbound and Illusion of Gaia. The game has beautiful music, basic but nice graphics, a solid story, tons of towns and enemies, and just all around fun. Breath of Fire 1 completely annhilates Breath of Fire 3 and 4, so even if you did not like those, don't worry. From someone who loves the classic SNES RPGs, take my word for it: GET THIS GAME!

A good game, and fond memories

I remember buying this game for my Super Nintendo years ago. The game was made by Capcom, but distributed by Squaresoft, and anything by Square had to be good, right?
Anyway, the game itself was fun, if standard. You control Ryu as he and his merry band of adventurers attempt to defeat an evil dragon (whose name escapes me now, I am sorry to say). Of course, the story spirals from here, and you are caught up in a plot by a goddess to rule the world. By today's standards, it may seem trite, but there are many bonuses (for example, how many games let you fish?). Your characters (eight or nine in total) each have special abilities, allowing you to open secret areas, which adds to the replay value. All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed the game, although I think it has been seven or eight years since I played it. However, I am sure that the Advance version will have new bonuses, so needless to say, I'll be killing a few MORE hours with this game. I think it is worth checking out...

Finally, a solid RPG game for a handheld

I've been a long time gamer, and I'm quite finicky about what i spend my money on. I read meticuluos reviews and talk to alot of friends before plunking down 50 or more dollars on a game. I do have to say, that Breath of Fire will be an excellant purchase if you enjoy old school role playing games. If you've enjoyed any of the SNES RPG's then you will adore this game. I used to have this for SNES, and always wished it was portable! Even if it is identicle to the SNES version, i plan to pick it up. It's a challenging and very fun RPG!

I played this game when it was first released for the Super Nintendo. It's one of my favorite RPGs. The plot is exellent, the characters are cool, it's one of the best. Whether you like classics, or are just looking for a game with some story and emotion behind it, Breath of Fire is a must!
We can only hope that they'll also re-release it's much improved sequel, Breath of Fire II!!

BOF is one of the best games I have ever played, I have spent countless hours on puzzles and finding valuable items. If you are looking for a fun, long game, I would recommend this game.
