    I’m not sure if I’ll ever return to Breath of Fire III. While the story did intrigue me at times, there’s not much intrigue or wonder in the world and no real urgency in your quest. From the get-go you’re given a pair of ‘pals’ and you’re supposed to like and care about them, but I couldn’t care less.

It looks great, sounds amazing, feels smooth, features super-fun characters, and offers you endless ways to build each member of your party. Were most RPGs are one-dimensional in the way you level-build, BoF 3 features 15 different masters you can apprentice your characters under--each with different skills and stat gains. You can also learn skills from monsters you encounter, and trade them with other characters.

    Countless hours can spent fishing, or building your own fairy village SimCity style. There's just so much to see and do, and it all features that Capcom-tight gameplay we know and love.

    Breath of Fire III is a masterpiece, and one of the best games I ever played.

    Breath of Fire loyalists know what the box is thinking.

    Doesn't that beat all? Well... this game... Breath of Fire 3... certainly beats all.

    A decent game completely ruined by a game-breaking glitch.
    I had been playing the PSP version for a good 15 hours or so when I arrived at the block puzzle in Angel Tower, but it's impossible to proceed from there, because the easternmost block gets destroyed the instant I try to move it, no matter in which direction.
    I've tried reloading my save, leaving the area and whatnot, but nothing helps. That one block cannot be moved without breaking, and since it's actually needed to proceed to the next area, I am now unable to progress any further in the game and have thus effectively wasted hours of my life on a game that is literally impossible to finish.
