NCS Game Synopsis
«©NCSX»
Centuries before the present day in Breath of Fire
III, a brood of dragons was killed off in a great
war. When dragons die, their bodies turn into a
material known as chrysm. The day of dragons has
seemingly passed until a group of miners
accidentally revive a whelp named Ryu encased in
chrysm. With a single stroke, a fledgling dragon is
brought back into the world.
As the game begins, Rei is hunting a boar when a ruckus nearby
sends the animal scurrying away. Investigating the
din, Rei watches Ryu kill two beasts that have
cornered him. Unsure of Ryu's living arrangements,
Rei takes him home and inducts the stoic little
warrior in his gang which consists of Teepo,
himself, and now Ryu. After a sequence of events,
Ryu and friends go off on an adventure to discover
why the dragons of yore were destroyed.
Breath of Fire III on the PSP is a port of the Playstation original
with graphics, sound, and music intact. As in the
original, the Dragon System is present where dragon
genes such as flame, frost, and shadow are mixed
together to engender new dragon forms. Ryu may
transform into a Behemoth by using the Miracle Gene
but elemental flavorings may also be applied while
the Trygon form is created by combining flame,
frost, and thunder. Dragon forms eat up a lot of AP
which may force conservative gamers to use them
sparingly during encounters.
Fishing Fun
The PSP version of Breath of Fire 3 includes an
expanded fishing game which is playable as a
separate game where rods, lures, and objectives are
featured. The fishing game may also be transmitted
to PSPs in the local area so others may enjoy the
fishing action. During the game proper, fishing
allows Ryu to capture fish which may be used for
healing or for barter in Manillo's Shop for weapons,
special lures, and armor. Six types of fishing rods
are available in the game which differ in strength
and capability. For example, the basic wooden rod
snaps in two with little effort while the angling
rod features both range and a high success rate in
pulling fish from their waters. Bait is also
required to attract fish and Ryu will use worms,
various frogs, and exotic lures that are only found
in Manillo's shop.
Mini Game #2
The Fairy Village mini-game is an enjoyable
diversion where Ryu manages a small team of fairies
to expand their small village into a bustling fairy
town. As the population of the village grows, more
fairly labor may be directed to hunting duties,
clearing forest, and building.
Frequently Asked Questions
1) I already have the USA version of
Breath of Fire III on the Playstation. Should I
purchase the PSP version also?
If you've played Breath of
Fire III on the PS1 and finished it a couple of
times then we'd recommend against purchasing the PSP
version. Sure, the game is a new experience on the
bright screen of the PSP but it's the same game that
you've played already.
2) I've only played the Playstation version
of BOF3 on a television with composite video. So,
you're telling me the game looks entirely different?
YES. The colors
are bright and saturated on the PSP and the artwork
is sharp and crisp. If you've already
piped the PS1 version of BOF3 through an XRGB-2+ with
an analog RGB cable then you've already seen the game as the
designers envisioned their creation.
3) When will the USA version of BOF3 be
released?
Unfortunately, we don't have a USA release date.
Sony may be reticent on approving the game for the
USA market.
