Fun fact: when you finally face Jade, Jade will ask if you would like to join Jade's side instead of fighting Jade. If you say yes their will be some dialog. After the dialog, so long as you don't move, after a few seconds, Jade will get bored and have you fight a monster for entertainment. After that more dialog comes up. Repeating this process will have you facing monsters that get stronger one after another. After a few monsters, you will encounter a giant gold slime monster. this monster will give you a HUGE amount of experience points and gold. After killiing the monster, you can repeat this process if you want to build up some experience before fighting Jade and then the goddess.
I didn’t know that. Thanks!
Came here for a recap and left with new knowledge!
whoa is that in both versions?
The bad music choices ruined the video...
@@lorddoomer7271 what bad music choices? it's all music from the game
I love how instead of just saying what happened you give some backstory, then hop into what happened. It helps someone like me, who doesnt know a single thing about this game to understand what is going on.
As an "Old Bastard" that played these games when they first released I rate this series as one of the greatest that seriously need to get rebooted.
I think Oni Black Mage doesn't like moles, he called them the dirt eating clan lol...
Aaah Breath of Fire. This was one of those games that I could never quite finish. As in, I'd start it and get like 1/4th of the way through it, then life would happen for a week or so(maybe longer). Then when I finally have time to get back to it, I'd have to start over because I had forgotten everything. The classic cycle.
Clearly I missed out because this seems like such a good story. A good game overall honestly. The day/night system. The idea of Fusing. The moments where you change to another character, do a side mission as them, then they become a party member later?? That's pretty awesome, can't think of too many games that do it in that way. I definitely missed out.
I tried to kill Zog without the Dragon heart song bottle but it was taking forever, however I didn't have Agni yet, can Agni solo Zog without dragon heart?
@@lorddoomer7271 probably, but I think that you can only get Agni after you kill Zog. In all honesty, I kind of grinded until I realized that grinding put everyone’s levels out of whack. Apparently, it’s much harder to level up Ox then it is to level up Bleu and Nina, and all of the other party members are somewhere in the middle in terms of levels. Getting back on point, I did that and curbstomped Zog and completely forgot that I had the Dragon Hurt song at all.
It's always a special thing to visit the first installment in a well-known series. I have only finished BoF4 in the series, and now this one, and I like seeing how many creative ideas formed here and lasted into 4. A lot of cool stuff implemented here, like various dungeon themes and mechanics, the day/night cycle, and even character fusion and transformation (I love that stuff). Ambitious for its time, I feel, though it's hit or miss on some other details. Either way, if you have a Nintendo Switch and an active online membership, you already own this and BoF2 so you can play this now!
Didn't this series also start fishing in RPGs... or was that BoFII?
@@dethaddr I dunno about that, but this game definitely has fishing (many rare items gained that way)
@@OniBlackMage That's what I remember, fishing was fun, but frustrating. You got some nice stuff from it. I don't recall another RPG doing that in this era and it's the one where I have the most games from (Back in that day it was two roommates, little rent and a Management job that was worth about 20x what it is in today's market for a late teen on his own). Ahhh the good old days!
ive been enjoying this one on my switch free with my online sub, i love all the old games getting more accessible formats these days!
So... BOF2 recapitation next?
You missed a sad little detail, if you go back to the fortress/castle where Cerl was, you can find her and Alan as kids and a sad theme plays. Its not made clear if they were turned into kids or if they were just together in death and afterward they never appear again. BOF1 was my favorite RPG on the SNES thank you for covering it.
i honestly think it was a hallucination, due to the lingering effects of the recent timewarp. and the effects temporarily let them see the past.
for me, like just as i was kicked out into the overworld after that scene, i immediately returned to the castle cell, and saw that right then. so it was extra hurty, you can say
Aw yeah, this and ff6 were my favorite games as a kid.
Hope to see breath of fire 3 some day, you're really good at this.
@Nij Jin He meant a video from Oni Black Mage, not the actual game.
srsly... i can't believe how rare these plot summary videos are !
This game has such a great plot. I would love to see it remade for the switch with modern visuals.
You kind of got your wish, I guess?🤷♂️
@@michaellane4054 wdym
@@mathieul4303 it’s on the Nintendo Switch Online now.
You should do Dragon Quest, and MegaMan Battle Network!
AHHH!!!! YESSSS!!! Breath of Fire! Series was definitely a big influence on my love for JRPGs. For the future I would love to hear you go over Legend of Legaia and Legaia 2: Duel Saga!!!! It would definitely get my nostalgia gears running!
Ahh, Breath of Fire! I really should play this and complete it, but I'll settle for this RECAPitation for the time being. The powers of the various Devas are terrifying indeed, having never faced them personally. The main reason I enjoyed this game series is because of on-map abilities that each party member offers to the team as you progress through the game. Translation errors have been a bit of a problem in this series over the years, but honestly, I've applauded this series' ability to maintain a light-hearted RPG experience while simultaneously touching on dark themes including kin-killing, genocide, class discrimination, and so on. I see that this one is no less tragic, especially when Sara is slain by her own brother. These familial connections and themes will be carried into future games and as a gamer jaded by orphaned protagonists, I was pleased to see this.
Thank you very much for your work as always. I'll meet you on the next battlefield.
It’s about time this game got looked at and since the first 2 got released as part of the SNES Switch Online. Looking forward to you looking at BoF2 and so on.
Been PRAYING to see you cover BoF. I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for this to go live.
You dropped this 👑
Before i start watching this, thank you for talking about one of my most beloved videogame series
It breaks my heart seeing what they did to my first rpg series to follow, but its always good to remember what this series used to be
same here. i just felt like i was being tortured with how they "relaunched" the series with the latest title. it's just heartbreaking
Breath of Fire 1 & 2 are still among my favorite RPG games. I much preferred the ancient castle theme than the future high tech modern RPG games all have.
Thank you for doing this one, I can’t wait for star ocean
I started on the second story which is a amazing am game onto itself and the the end of time and even the 4th one which wasn’t all that bad I know since oni does rpg it’s just a matter of time until he does them but I can’t wait
I'm currently replaying Breath Of Fire 2 on GBA
my dude have you done a breath of fire 3 yet? holy shit im going to go bananas when i see Bof3 recap.
Hello glad there's someone still making content about this wonderful game
Yesss the breath of fire recap ! Thanks for the upload!
YAAAAAAAAAS! I was waiting for you to do this!
Would you ever do Shining Force 1,2 and Phantasy Star quadrillogy?
Absolutely, great suggestions. Like Breath of Fire, I broke ground on Phantasy Star over 2 years ago for a request, and aim to wrap up the series this year. Check out Phantasy Star 4 here: ruclips.net/video/mJWM6q9zMRg/видео.html
@@OniBlackMage yes please Shinning Force 2 is one of my favourites from back in the day
@@OniBlackMage I remember the Phantsy star 4 video but I had to pass on that to avoid spoilers.
I still haven't finished that game yet I've only completed Phantasy star 1,2 and the dreamcast online series.
I love BoF! Played long by time ago as a kid but didn’t understand much going on but I love the recaps sooooo much thank you
I spent so many hours on this game. Awesome job I relived that whole experience in 20 min. Thank you for that🙌🏾
Great video man. I can't wait to see you do BoF 2 and 3.
BoF 3 and 4 are part of my favorite rpg ever.
Another great video! Please consider doing the Golden Sun games next!
Side note, Breath of Fire hit the absolute sweet spot for fusions in Breath of Fire 3. It was absolutely fantastic and that was a system they needed to expand on. So naturally we never saw it again.
Thank you. This game was amazing. And I'm glad to see this.
God I miss this franchise so much
Edit: damn you capcom for your negligence!
This is exactly what I needed, I lost my way during the game and stopped enjying the game the more I was playing... Now I can bounce on the second one ! Thanks again !
Man these videos are awesome. I listen to alot of these videos as make shift audio books while I'm at work ...I also watch at home. Must say great job always look forward to new videos. Keep up the good work my dude .👊
Thanks a lot for your effort and for telling us this wonderful story. Keep it up! Breath of Fire series are great.
BEST. INN. MUSIC. EVER.
BoF2 was such a tremendous game! Just replayed it for the first time in many years this year. Want to try to play the original if I have time.
If it's not too much to ask, I would like to see more Tales series, starting from Phantasia and so on in chronological release
New fav content creator on YT.... I hope you revisit the tales of series one-day.
I can't wait for the day you cover valkyrie profile 2: silmeria
Youre doing amazing Oni!!!
18:30 OH YEAH!
I think BoF 1 had by far the best animation,music, use of color, and character/enemy design.
This was amazing
I rented this game back in the day until I beat it, I was, it seemed, the only one renting it. After that, I moved on to Final Fantasy III, that I was unable to beat through rental because someone switched the game out with Fighting Force III, or II, the point was the game turned into Fighting Force. In a raw, A to B sort of way, Breath of fire was a great game for me when I was a kid.
Big thx 4 this video man
Personally I think Capcom should remake the first game of the series. It's so 90's anime it's retro fun! Bring it to 3D with modern gameplay mechanics either turn based or action RPG and i bet people would LOVE this game series again. I mean hell furries alone would drive up the sales cuz well... their be a lot of attractive characters in this game.
Almost to 100k bro!
Myria sure as well didn't joke when she said she will return.
well, sister bonding times begins in,
1...2....3..... ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I just finished this game a couple weeks ago. I'm on number 2 now.
You might have trouble with the combat a bit. trust me it's annoyed upon in the series for a reason.
but the story... the story is the best one of the series alongside to BoF III. you won't regret it, i vouch!
Now we need BoF 2, 3, 4, and 5.
My first RPG, this game will live in my memory forever.
Yes it will. This and suikoden.
Have never played BoF but I'll have to download it on my switch. Thank you good sir for this absolutely amazing video!
Its free on the switch 😄
Do you have any interest in going over the Lunar series or Arc the Lad series?
Oh Arc the lad. That was a painful fall to witness. Same with Shining Force. And Lunar, now that I think about it. And Lufia. I've made myself sad now.
As a fan of the game and series, it surprises men that it only sold 220,000 copies.
Fun fact: the races of the BoF are based on the Chinese Zodiacs. Ox, Monkey, Rooster/Bird, Dragon, Snake.
Characters that support this theory:
Ox - Ox/Builder, BoF
Tiger - Rei, BoF III; Katt, BoF II; Cray, BoF IV
Rabbit - Momo, BoF III
Dragon - Ryu
Snake - Deis/Bleu
Horse - (antagonists Balio & Sunder in BoF III are horses)
Monkey - Sten, BoF II
Rooster - Nina (?)
Dog - Bo, BoF; Bow/Bosch, BoF II; Scias, BoF IV;
Not represented:
Rat - (no rat race appears in the games)
Goat - (no goat race appears in the games)
Pig - (no pig race appears in the games)
Characters with no Chinese Zodiac analogue:
Mogu, Mole;
Gobi/Manillo, Fish;
Karn, Human(?)
Jean, Frog;
Spar, Peco Plant;
Rand, Armadillo
Garr, ???
Ursula, Fox
Seems like a stretch, and that they're more just kinda based on animals
I can't wait for BF2, my favorite of the series
Me too! the story was my absolute favorite of the series.
Yea, it also starts so strong, with the dragon "nightmare" and becoming a renegade with bow.
@@1300l and all the times the story lured you in with a false sense of security. right before bombarding you with the feels. it's way more ambitious than BoF I, and only BoF IV truly was able to capture the same kind of urgency as in here. [Edit- Also Dragon Quarter]
Yea I remember buying this because squaresoft had its hand in it. It has a classic rpg feel. There were a couple of areas that were truly cryptic but I love that. I dint figure out where the rod5 was until I looked it up.
Sooooooo, Chun lie appearing in Breath of fire confirms their also part of the same universe. As Final fight... The plot thickens! Ruy for MvC4!
Nice one. Currently playing bof2. Hopefully you can do that one too. Also megaman battle network.
Fun Fact: In the town of Bleak (aka Hustle), there is a "magician" that claims he can make 100 gold disappear out of thin air. answer his question YES twice, then NO twice. If done correctly a small scene pops up of Chun Li from the street fighter series showing off her flurry of kicks. Nice little cameo for only 100 gold.
Yo, can we get some of the star oceans recaped. Highly underrated series
I love this game!!!
It'd be cheesy but I wish a modern rpg would throw in a portion that was a throw back to this type. Maybe Chronotrigger or Secret of Mana. These were gold and so much is lost on modern consoles that end up making newer rpgs into hack and slash puzzle solving games with only a veneer of plot. Even the notion of skill slots and power ups or upgrades is lost since all too often certain aspects get overpowered and trump story telling and having to think of a solution and consider what the outcome will mean.
I love BoF, it is an amazing game. I remember taking a long ass time to beat the final boss, even with the Agni transformation, though.
You should do a recap for Secret of Mana!
I always found this series got better with time. Except BoF2. The encounter rate was too high and the best ending is a bit tricky to get without a guide. The fishing gets better all the time though. I think time has cooled the sting of dragon quarter. That and comparing it to other franchise killers like lunar dragon song.
Been addicted to this game when I found it on sale. i was playing it on the Nintendo DS butnit was a GBA cartridge
First and very favorite RPG
legend.
I’ve been praying for a rerelease of BoF 1-4 for years and years.
1 and 2 are on the SNES Switch Online Service, maybe 3 and 4 will come separately as well.
Capcom really needs another franchise (Resident Evil cannot be the only franchise your entire company stays afloat with). Every game was completely original from the one before it, so it is perfect to reboot the series into a new franchise. For Continuity purposes you could make it similar to the Matrix, where a new Dragon Hero spawns every 1000 years to save the world. It would explain the last 5 games and also keep you from having to be beholden to them. I really believe it could be just as good as any Final Fantasy title if it is done by the right team.
Amsome game amazing story spectular music! Right now I'm playing part 2 on my GBA
Would you do the other games in the breath of fire series too? I'd be espcially interested in the 3rd part since it's one of my favorite games and the “fifth“ part with the hard as balls perfection/complete story system
I hope beyond hope they make another along the lines of part 3
Just imagine, you can get enough Gold Bars to pay off Gobi, but you can never pay that fish off.
If Jade got petrified, would he become Jade Stone?
Endless is a BOF IV term only. 4 is set in a different world. Endless is not mentioned in the other games.
Fusion, huh? I love Akira Toriyama 👍
I challenge you to RECAPitate Legacy of Kain! Please?
The adventure of Sentinel Ryu
It's definitely a worthwhile game. The series as a whole is phenomenal, and we talk a lot about that on our podcast.
I really do love this series but you should really bear in mind that BoF 1 and 2 had horrendous translations.
For example, the goddess Tyr is actually called Myria for example. If you do a RECAP of Breath of Fire 2, get the fan translation patch because it clears up a LOT of issues
I hope you do all the games in this series
Nevermind, i am soooo sorry, i forgot you did 4
Excellent video, but BoF was not the first capcom's rpg, btw. lol
Ryu... the next DLC smash character...
Will you do a recapitation of Trials of Mana next?
Capcom on BoF 7 a few years back: "JRPGS that aren't called Final Fantasy don't sell any more."
BoF 2 please. It's my favorite one.
yes! another one of us.
This game’s plot is CRAZY! It sounds fake and random, but I know it’s real.
A story in which all sentient races come together to overthrow a common menace known as “Zog”. Hmm....🤔
I still have trouble with why people think Ryu and Nina are kids. I could see Nina, maybe. But has no one looked at the front of the Breath of Fire SNES cartridge? Ryu is a MAN. He's a big sandwich of a man.
Can you do the whole legacy of kain series.
Please, do a bof 2 and 3!!!
Played all of them, own all of the original copies for NA, I can only dream of a [true] sixth entry in the series.
Omg yes!!!!!!!
Will you be doing the other breath of fire games?
Wonder if we might get a remake of this
How’d you know I was just thinking of this series. Bof 3 for switch please!
Or just on the consoles in general. I'd love to have it on PSN...though I do still use my PS3.
Please make vagrant story recap
WHAT!? I forgot Ox became a father!
What Ryu and Nina don't marry? Then who is the one of another clan did she fall in love with and weaken her clan that she speaks of in 2?
