Capcom's first major role-playing series began here, with a blue-haired boy named Ryu whose Light Dragon clan is scattered by the Dark Dragon empire. Released in Japan in 1993, it reached North America the following year with Squaresoft handling the publishing, an unusual arrangement for a Capcom game.
The structure is classic turn-based questing, but the party is what gives it character. Ryu can transform into dragon forms in battle, while companions such as the winged princess Nina, the wolf archer Bo and the fish-man Gobi each carry a field ability that opens new routes on the overworld. Karn the thief can fuse with other party members into combined forms, and a fishing minigame turned into a recurring feature of the series. Capcom's sprite work keeps towns and dungeons lively, and several sequels and a Game Boy Advance port followed.
Tips for Breath of Fire
Swap in the character whose field skill fits the situation, such as Bo for hunting or Gobi for travel under the sea.
Dragon transformations are strong but expensive, so keep them for bosses rather than random fights.
Fishing spots yield useful items, so stop and cast a line when you find one.
