All while keeping enough lucidity to hold the 9 to 5 fishing/hunting gig to finance it all. The financing part make it seem so grounded and that almost any character of the world could do it.

This is my favorite game of all time. I’ve been gaming since I was 4 in ‘86 and I still to this day play this game 100% thru at least 5 times a year. Few games, if any, now just don’t capture that same feeling of wonder and mystery. I loved the camping aspect and fishing. The fairy village mechanic had so much depth to it! It really mattered who you put doing what and it was an awesome feeling when you got the pimp mansion from expanding it all the time. Thanks for all your content. Stay lifted and gifted brother!!!

I'd play that much of this." assuming games' (game-ses?) main constraint was size alone. I want to make it. But idk what I love most and what to focus on. That music genre(fusion... jazz? Idk, I also like The Sims 1 music, and Saint Row showing me that "ezzz" channel with such unique older songs). That fairy village, fishing, or every other repeatable activity or system. Ugh, the systems in general!(Side note, check out Rogue Galaxy for cool systems and such). I love the less-useful and unconventional skills and spells. More, mooore.

It's nice to stumble on a funny little run like this. I'm getting some powerful BoF3 nostalgia. Your patience is commendable. I've done some funny runs (Mage Ryu absolutely slaps) but I don't think I'd have it in me for something this nuts.

@Caspicum Жыл бұрын

Funnily enough, mage Ryu actually prompted the entire concept of 'items only'. I found that toward the end of the game, I didn't have much in the way of powerful magicks, so I took to using Devilfish for Myollnir and worked backwards from there.

@McFatson Жыл бұрын

Ohh, I never thought of it that way. I tended to just use the magic enhancing dragon forms. Since he was going mage build, he had AP for days and could actually sustain it for a while. Even funner when the Elder tried block dragon forms like it was a big deal, so I just dropped nukes on him. ...it helps when Nina was studying under fighty masters so Ryu got to hog all the good spells. She actually hit kinda hard by the end.

@Caspicum Жыл бұрын

I felt bad doing a magic Ryu run and using dragons, so I opted to stay away from them, but it's interesting how you also found items because of the dragon-block fight. I absolutely stuck NIna with melee dudes as well. Everyone got a build-flip, and Garr was completely useless come end-game, but Rei was passable. Legit, Nina hit harder than Garr. What a great game.

I'm still struggling between 3 and 4. I think 3 is about as close to perfection as you can get in a JRPG, but 4 is special. It takes itself a lot more seriously from the get-go, and the characters develop more as a result. In terms of gameplay, 3 destroys 4. 4 is "attack to win" where 3 is "attack to win about half the time."

I know that's partly nostalgia, I was so hyped for this to come out, reading stuff in magazines about it and telling my parents I absolutely needed this, but it didn't disappoint. Makes me sound like such a dinosaur now, but at the time it was unprecedented. If you liked JRPGs at the time this came out, it turned your world upside down. No one was doing this kinda thing back then. It was perfect. But yeah I always had a ton of items I never touched XD

I'm far from done with Breath of Fire 3, it's legit one of the best JRPGs ever made and it barely gets the appreciation it deserves. For real, nobody was doing this kind of thing, and I'd argue nobody ever did, at least not to the degree of Breath of Fire 3, and 4 to a lesser extent. Absolute master class in a distinguished JRPG that broke itself from its Dragon Quest/Final Fantasy trappings.

I really love your work and honestly I think that you are an underrated youtuber no offense of course what I am saying is that I really want to see the day were you reach a huge number of subscribers and achieve all your goals and dreams I really love your work the simplicity of letting a viewer understand a game that he or she has never seen before and bringing the nostalgia back that's really something I love. Also I know I have talked a lot and I am sure that you will get bored from my comment but I have something I have to say about breath of fire 3. Like what if Myria takes the unconscious Ryu after he gets defeated by balio and sunder and place him in "Eden" and Teepo and Rei wake up staying together and continue the game with Teepo as the main protagonist. Of course the game continues normally with getting everyone to the party but the true final Boss becomes Ryu instead of Myria, I really wish that this becomes a new maybe fan made Breath of fire 3 I really really wish that maybe just maybe we can have that, but I know it won't happen but if by chance you read this comment Mr. Casp I really would love if you tell me your opinion about this. Sorry for talking a lot and ik I am annoying but I would like to end this huge comment with an even bigger thank you for this beautiful video and I look forward for any new video you make in the future doing these videos take a lot of time and consistent work I love your work and I wish you the best of luck

Nina stops learning magic at level 15 or something, and doesn't get her next spell till 27. Absolutely neglected character.

Enjoyed the video. I miss old games that used to be very quirky with random bugs or overcomplicated mini games. You take the good and the bad the developers randomly decided to put in there game but it was fun because you never really knew what was going to happen next.

@Caspicum Жыл бұрын

That's what makes Breath of Fire special in particular. All the unnecessary, weird bits add to the world in ways a safer game never could. I always remember screwing up the lighthouse section so many times because I could never figure out what it needed specifically. Those kind of things stick with you.

@Casp A safe game definitely wouldn't have a womanizing Australian Dolphin. I don't think I ever got past the desert as a child. I remember walking forever and giving up but I've played BoF 3 many times over the years it's a masterpiece.

Just as a reference, Idk if it’s written anywhere, but during the forced rei fight with the gang boss, iirc if u rez him and then kill him b4 he transforms and rez him again u get control of him, I’ll have to play through the game again to see the exact order of operations but I do recall during one of my play through, as it happened naturally for me and it’s just a small fun gimmick to the fight instead of having to waste an action using influence.

I wouldn't worry about the reprisals since you're not playing the game normally (unless you deliberately put Peco in attack formation just for that purpose). In my Peco solo run, Myria opened with a Venom and Ryu attacked her while confused before I could KO him. During that time, I had a "no one cares" mindset. Great job on the challenge and for showing your gameplay.

@Caspicum Жыл бұрын

Damn bro, how does a Peco solo run begin? The second you get him you slap him on Fahl and power level?

@ShadowFeline Жыл бұрын

@@Caspicum no masters since it would be better if he (or anyone else) tackles the game in natural stats. Well, once you recruit him, escape every random encounter in the dump since they're too strong. Level up in Meryleep's forest since all the enemies there are goos. Then, once he reaches level 10, level up at Momo's tower to at least level 12. As for the challenge, choke points I recall are Cawer, Gisshan, Ammonite and Dragon Lord.

Was loving this game until I got stuck at the well minigame. Thanks love your videos!

@Caspicum 5 ай бұрын

The well mini game throws people off because there's a very slight delay in the process. All you've gotta do is hit a button to lower the bucket, hear the splash, then press the button the same number of times, but because there's no direct feedback, people second guess themselves and fail. If you stick to your guns and stay confident, you will succeed. NEver second guess yourself! also I appreciate it! thanks for watching!

its easy to forget the chicken arc but it was a pivotal point in the 3rd act of the outside of mcneil manor. Ryu cannot find a way past the guards or the emotional turmoil that is holding him back as a character. All hope seems lost but in a final stroke of genius he gathers the courage to murder the head chicken sending his comrades into a rage against the humans as they rip apart the entire security staff. Ryu is then able to reach his full potential as a guy who breaks into another guy's house to rob his belongings and murder the ghosts of his ancestors for clout.

I think it could be done. Arch Mage has 3,000 health right? I reckon if I hit the grind hard enough, and got my boys to level 70-80 under Emitai, that's like 160 more INT + their respective base yield, Devilfish would hit maybe 400 each... Okay maybe I couldn't do it. Maybe max level devil fish could do over 500 damage...
