Rageaholic 100 - BREATH OF FIRE Retrospective

[@Tankdomain]

You almost cried at the end. You pansy. You almost cried and now I'm going to cry. You made me feel! How dare you hit me in the feels.

[@1supacress]

I found the "like" button but where is the "5 Nina upskirts" button?

[@HappyConsoleGamer]

Great video! fuck Capcom never gives us anything we want these days, heck most great old japanese developers don't give us anything we want anymore either. The great old Japanese RPG is dead pretty much replaced with emo kids in action games.

[@Maxiga]

HappyConsoleGamer Well said. Your videos are entertaining!

[@TheSILV1982]

John you nailed it

[@Hyperion5182]

2 years later. Capcom is on the comeback trail.

[@rytheeskaron4524]

Breath of Fire 3 was one of those special games from my youth, even if I think Chrono Trigger is the best JRPG out there. Oh the wonderful memories and dragony goodness.

[@GMJacks2121]

13:24 God dammit, Razorfist! You present the most fatally badass breath of fire retrospective and then proceed to make me shed manly tears. Well played.

[@GMJacks2121]

And a gentleman to boot. You sir, are full of surprises.

[@halophilicnc6473]

I can't describe how hard I lost it when I saw Jackie Chan's face instead of Makoto Ikehara.

[@HorkSupreme]

Halophilic NC Eh? I couldn't tell the difference :p

[@halophilicnc6473]

Hork Supreme I couldn't recognize Makoto Ikehara either, but seeing Jackie Chan used as a stand-in tickled me.

[@zoidburger66]

Halophilic NC So...Does it make me racist if, despite knowing who Jackie Chan is and what he looks like, I was easily convinced that some entirely different asian man looked exactly like him? I think I'm racist...

[@zoidburger66]

nosferatu5 It was a joke. Unclench your sphincter, learn to take a joke, and you might enjoy life a bit more. BTW, love how you responded to a comment about racism with a comment saying murder was acceptable. With logic like that, I have to assume your a social justice warrior.

[@nosferatu5]

You should take your own advice my friend. I didnt expect that you would think that it was a serious response to a completely innocent and a really really silly comment you made, that nobody would really take seriously. I mean, since when was mixing people up was considered racist, right? Take care friend.

[@Vaporvice84]

And thank you for providing hours and hours of hilarious entertainment and commentary. As well as thank you for introducing me to movies, music, and videogames I wouldn't have looked into otherwise.

[@StreamerSchool]

God-fucking-speed dude. You're the man.

[@StreamerSchool]

*God*

[@palagius9149]

[@TheRageaholic]

meanmuggah11 Godspeed, yourself! Thanks for watching.

[@TheRageaholic]

***** Dude, that song kicks some yahoo *_serious_* ass! Thanks for that!

[@MrMortull]

***** I know I should maybe make this a separate thread and not jump into the middle of someone else', but I kinda wanted to maximize my chances of you reading this personally. I hope you'll bear with me a while here, 'cos this might just get a tad long-winded, although I won't blame you if you decide to TL;DR. My first RPG love was Suikoden. Let that sink in for a second. I was too young to have run into any of its spiritual predecessors on the Super Nintendo, so the sprites didn't bother me and nor did anything else, as far as I was concerned here was a game doing something possibly entirely unique and I fell head over heels for it, I really did. The deluge of characters, the runes, the mythic stuff, (even if I didn't know it was mythic or possibly even what mythic meant at the time) I ate it all up ravenously. Even when it consistently beat the everloving crap out of me in the late-mid game and story progress stopped dead I still came back to the front of the queue like Oliver Twist and asked for more. Then I lost access to it, and like the stupid kid I was at the time (and I'm not claiming not to be a stupid *adult*, just in exciting new ways) I didn't think to look for more of the same elsewhere, the idea that I could possibly do so simply didn't occur to me. I mourned the fair maiden I'd loved and lost and moved on, like you do. Fast-forward maybe five years, and the same guy who introduced me to Suikoden reappeared briefly and basically said "Hey kid, remember that game I lent you? You loved that, if I remember right. Try *this*". And then he dumped an unwanted duplicate copy of Breath of Fire 3 on my lap. Mine to keep and do with what I willed. I speak with no hyperbole whatsoever when I say that I left my room exclusively in order to eat and use the bathroom for in excess of a week, if Suikoden was analogous to the sort of heady but ultimately simple crush who first looks back at you with a nervous smile and invites you home for dinner then BoF3 was the one you meet in college; the one that makes you shove aside all else just to watch a crappy tv show with them when you really should be studying and then maybe go to that party one of their friend's friend's friends is having where you meet all the other people you're going to spend the next few years making your whole world and will remember 'til you die, even if none of you stay in contact any more these days. Teepo, Nina, Garr... even those horse dudes whose names I've forgotten, I can still see them on the inside of my eyelids years later, bobbing in combat stance and waiting for commands to either enact or react to. The world, the mythos, the balls to the walls gene-splicing system mentioned in the video; it's all still here (if more than a little faded from distance, I've got a shitty memory for details even of things I love a lot of the time) and I kick myself to this day for losing track of my copy. I miss everything about it. Yes, even the fairies. Uhm, in short I'm picking up what you're putting down here, Razorfist. Thanks for sharing and damn well *ensuring* I'm going to find it again along with the other three you recommend, however much it costs. Happy 100 and excuse me while I duck into your back catalogue to watch the other 99! Also, sorry for running my mouth like that, I knew this was going to go on a while but I never imagined quite how long. Whoops.

[@raccoononymous]

No, Razorfist. Thank _you_ for 100 episodes. Also, Garr is awesome.

[@trago1337]

Congrats on 100 episodes dude! I remember seeing your Super Mario RPG review and slamming that subscribe button faster than Jim Sterling's heart disease diagnosis. And since then you've become my favorite KZbinr. Here's to 100 more episodes!

[@TheRageaholic]

trago1337 NICE! Got past the censor filter on that review, did you! All the more reason to proffer a #GodFuckingSPEED for watching! Thanks.

[@Aidan_B_Young]

Thanks for introducing me to this series. I have the first two games for the SNES right now, and since I recently acquired a PS1, I’m on the lookout for 3 and 4.

[@Playeressence]

Razor....the multiple jabs at Chrono Trigger.... my heart can't take it..... lol

[@Playeressence]

123doomdoom I don't think he hates it, I just think Razor thinks its a little overrated

[@ZerogunRivale]

PlayerEssence He accuses the game of not having much customization. While on the surface level that's true, I think Chrono Trigger replaces it with the single most robust party system in any RPG I have played. Many games allow you to change party members, but it's often time meaningless (i'm looking at you, FF7). But in Chrono Trigger, just changing one party members changed the way you played the game. Having a certain trio meant you relied on triple techs, but just replacing one changed up your available attacks and the way you played. Certain party setups meant dependence on single attacks, others meant relying on double techs, so on and so forth. The fact that they could take something as simple as changing a party member meant rethinking your entire strategy due to its deep tech/combo system is the core of Chrono Trigger for me.

[@sepertarift]

PlayerEssence I loved Chrono Trigger too, but he's got enough points to bury the hatchet! BOF came first and did it better!

[@Playeressence]

Seperta Zen There is also a lot of stuff that Chrono Trigger does that BOF didn't do. The games aren't alike at all

[@sepertarift]

PlayerEssence I know, but Chrono had a bigger budget, Akira Toriyama and was released later in the snes lifespan. If BOF was given the same treatment, who knows what heights the series would of gotten.

[@danleach8266]

After geeking out over the Breath of Fire review itself, and hearing your words of genuine gratitude for your subscribers, I have to follow that up by saying that I'm sorry for being late to this party. Thanks for still churning out the art and god-ffffucking-speed!

[@roudanskalamir9251]

The way I see it, everyone has that one jrpg franchise other than Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest that they readily identify their love for whether it be Wild Arms, Grandia, Lunar, Shadow Hearts, Lufia, Persona, Phantasy Star, Skies of Arcadia etc. For Razorfist, it's Breath of Fire with an honerable mention going to Phantasy Star (as far as what he has revealed). For me, it's Suikoden with honerable mentions going to Anachronox, Evolution, and Star Ocean.

[@jasperhighwind6119]

Fucking, LOVELY, Suikoden!!! Minus that 4th entry...

[@TheSaskOtaku]

yup. though for myself it was Pokemon and Paper Mario.

[@NerfedFalcon]

Shin Megami Tensei in general is about as good as turn-based RPGs get, though mind that difficulty cliff. Never played Suikoden, but I'm planning to check out the second sometime soon.

[@lordkrauser]

Shadow Hearts and Lunar for me. Still holding out hope for a HD remake or something of the Shadow Hearts Trilogy...maybe through in Koudelka as a neat bonus.

[@christianholbrook2686]

Fire Emblem.

[@minervacantdie7110]

Awww, I remember when I found your channel in 2009, and you only had about 500 subscribers and three or four videos up. You were my 5th or 6th subscription on KZbin. *Wipes the tears away.* They grow up so fast don't they?

[@BitHead1000]

Geez, does anyone realize what a super talent this guy is. Can't wait to see your take on Harry Callahan.

[@mattmaddogwheaton4724]

Your videos are awesome too might I add.

[@WarrenCBennett]

It’s 2023 and you are still making videos. God speed, my friend

[@makeapathpresents]

Spit some coffee out with the Jackie Chan picture! Haha!

[@PkmariO64]

This is the video that convinced me to hunt down a copy of the first two games, so that I could play them on my SNES. The first one was easy enough to get a hold of, since it’s one of the more common RPGs for the system, but then there was the second game. For whatever reason, the second one is so goddam hard to find, that I actually saw multiple copies of Little Samson on NES before finding one copy BoF2. I finally ended up getting a copy for my birthday, just two days ago, and that specific cartridge was found at a game store more than 5 hours away from where I live. All that said, both of them are pretty good, definitely among the best RPGs on the console.

[@Honno0451]

Congrats on the one-hundred episodes! You're the reason I got into music. Beforehand I wasn't really a music person. The Metal/Music Mythos are pure quality compared to what I have seen on the whole website. And thank you very much for getting me into Daredevil! He surpassed everyone on my favorite list of superheroes and is now sitting at the top where he should be. Favorite person on KZbin! Here's to another one-hundred episodes!

[@mjSnap]

Making the intro for you was my pleasure, believe me. God fucking speed, my friend!

[@wristofkings]

100 episodes (along with the rants and Music Mythos) later and you're still my hands down favorite YT personality. There are lots of "edgy" reviewers and critics lurking about on the internet but so far you're the only one to deliver with such a high level of passionate eloquence and scathing insight in every topic you tackle. God fucking speed, good sir. Now I'm off to my local game shop to hunt for anything BoF-related I can find (that isn't Dragon Quarter obviously).

[@TheRageaholic]

wristofkings God - fucking - SPEED! And careful using 'edgy' outside of 4chan. You're liable to put an eye out.

[@OrthwormJEB]

I just came here to say congratulations on 100 episodes and thank you for providing us with your videos.

[@d.c.stranded7134]

Jesus! you practically turned into a different person after the credits roll. You being nice, calm, and thankful? It's freaking me out!

[@ThraXisPlays]

This is your first video that has caught my attention (as I usually do not look around for vintage gaming videos), but I want to thank you for taking me to a trip down memory lane to my early teen years. God-fucking-speed.

[@GVGINU]

See...now you've gone and added more games to the list of games that I have to play before I die...lol

[@rshepherd80]

Dude you seriously need to play breath of fire one thru four!

[@GVGINU]

TheGood Shepherd I know...they just aren't that cheap to get and I don't have the funds for them.

[@winginitpodcast]

I like 2 its a good series one of those RPG's that I would love to see come back in some form or another.

[@kaiseravm]

GVGINU the problems of an increasing backlog indeed =)

[@rshepherd80]

GVGINU 2 is on virtual console 3 is cheap in its PSP format four is a problem I never found it cheap

[@wesellmillions]

Thank you, Razorfist. Hope you keep making videos well into the future.

[@JCDetona]

Please just keep inspired! And what an intro!!! A perfect episode!! Congratulations for the 100th episode!!!

[@TheRageaholic]

Marcio Ramos You guys help immensely in ensuring the inspiration hasn't abated one iota in five years. God - fucking - Speed!

[@NolanHickey]

At the end of the video I was thinking you were going to cry.

[@tonyc.0451]

Nolan Hickey Hey, he can cry and still be bad@ss as far as I'm concerned.

[@AegixDrakan]

Tony Chang Yup. This whole "men can't ever show emotion or cry" stereotype is an unhealthy and worthless cultural hangup as far as I'm concerned.

[@tonyc.0451]

Aegix Drakan As for me, the last time that I cried was when I couldn't see my high school flame again after we graduated. Long story.

[@Maxiga]

Nolan Hickey He feels more genuine when he shows his emotions. He's really passionate about his hobby, and I respect him for that.

[@tonyc.0451]

Maxiga We never saw that side of Razorfist before. Can't wait until he reaches 150 or 200 episodes.

[@DrearierSpider1]

Congrats on the 100 episodes, looking forward to as many more as you can make!

[@sterlingwirth7931]

BoF4 definitely has the most beautiful sprite work I’ve ever seen. Why don’t games look like this anymore.

[@ImaTroper]

Glad someone else is showing this series the love it deserves. Played breath of fire 3 on the ps2 for the first time in 2011. Didnt know what it was at first. Fucking loved it by the end.

[@michaeldlonzo]

Mate, what a franchise to make your 100th episode, 11/10 taste. Godspeed.

[@seatspud]

Congrats on the 100th eppy 'Fist. May we be blessed with 100+ more. God. (image of Lemmy) Fucking. (random porno clip of some chick getting drilled) Speed. (montage of cocaine related film clips: Plutonian Nyborg scene from Heavy Metal, Chevy "I LIKE IT" Chase from Modern Problems, and the Space Coke scene from Cheech and Chong's Next Movie!)

[@afterlifeavenger]

Man, as soon as I start to replay Breath of Fire 3 after not watching you for like a month, I see you doing a retrospective of it. Fuck yeah, good to see another person who even knows let alone is a fan of the Breath of Fire series out there. Rock on, dude.

[@5hAun1E]

That is the most sincere thank you from any KZbinr I've ever seen. Thank you, Razorfist.

[@MarsGundam]

Yeah, I'll agree BoF3 does feel like the end of the series. When I picked it up as a teen I loved the hell out of it, it was a great RPG adventure. Then 4 came out and something was just off about the game overall. It was an alright game, but it just didn't capture my imagination the same way 3 did. As for anything after 4 they don't exist to me.

[@SonofTiamat]

MarsGundam I also loved 3 but didn't play 4. It's funny how 4 looks more dated though with it's use of more 3D while 3's sprites have aged much better.

[@SaitohYatate]

+MarsGundam The fourth BoF had these huge philosophical/existentialist undertones that ended up forcing the plot to make little sense, especially towards the end. While not a bad game, BoF 4 was kind of an unnecessary sequel that just felt mediocre compared to 3 (which ended with a positive enough note to not let any sequels go by).

[@BelieveIt1051]

RazörFist: The original Breath of Fire for the Super Nintendo was my first RPG. Terran Gell: >Uses Breath of Fire footage from the GBA port

[@dantheuncouthbarbarian8167]

Thank you Razor for 100 very entertaining episodes and here's to a 100 more for as long as you enjoy making them.

[@MarkAndrewEdwards]

Rock on, man. I've enjoyed your thoughts and disturbing visuals for these past few years. On Breath of Fire front, I played the first one and that was it, sadly. Now I'm strictly a PC gamer so unless GOG picks these up, I'm likely to miss out. But now I sorta wish I'd hung onto my old PS one and Super Nintendo.

[@balwinder345]

Dragon Quarter was actually my first look into the series and I did actually enjoy it cause of how different it was from most JRPGs. However, the whole "counter going up with each step" was the straw that can break the back of even a sturdy camel. Even if it was thematically appropriate, its seemed to be more of a way to limit exploration, probably cause they didnt make the areas all that big...though they were interesting areas. Also, goggles aside, I wouldnt really say that it was steampunk. More like general dystopian future. They had computers and robot running on electricity, as well as cloning and bio-engineering.

[@zaxpeedy2852]

Yaaay thanks for telling me what this game is! I wish you made more videos on the classics you love or hate and talking about them.

[@eboliusparkinson2505]

I've seen every episode you've made. Thank you for the free entertainment, Razor.

[@TheRageaholic]

Ebolius Parkinson Wow! I'm pretty sure _I_ haven't even seen _every_ episode! The gold star goes to _you_, my friend! #GodFuckingSpeed

[@tartalja]

I've noticed early on that you make these videos because it's fun for you and you like doing it and it can be easily seen, especially in your Music Mythos episodes, that you are passionate about this stuff. You're doing great job with your content. Keep up.

[@Maxiga]

This happen's to be my favourite video on your channel, Razör. Been a huge BoF fan since 2000, this means a lot to me. Thank you.

[@ballacaust]

I'm glad to hear your passion for this channel is still alive and well. I look forward to anything you upload because for that passion, I'd watch you tile a bathroom or mow a lawn you're so entertaining. Keep it up.

[@TheRageaholic]

Holland Ayers Next week: BATHROOM MYTHOS

[@JanstonCordell]

Breath of Fire II is the one in the series that I have not yet played; now I must see to that. This was a fantastic retrospective, Razorfist.

[@MD-3DO]

Your welcome, it's a privilege watching you & Terran's work.

[@zangetsu9196]

I had only heard of the Breath of Fire series before but I had never seen it in its entirety. Now that I've seen it, I think I should check it out. Great 100th episode btw.

[@Sweetestsadist]

I've never heard of Dragon Quarter before watching this. It only took one screenshot to make a tear roll down my cheek.

[@vla1ne]

Bit (extremely) late on my part, but BoF5 is one of those rare games that's bad, but actually has enough love put into it to be almost worthy of forgiveness. like razor said, that game was literally *one* step away, in every direction, from being amazing, and that's why it hurts to see it be so bad. bof 6 on the other hand... there is no BoF6

[@skaiano]

Been watching your show since the Deus Ex review, and I've been waiting for some form of Breath of Fire review since you mentioned it in one of your vlogs I think, so I think it fits ep#100 perfectly! Just wanted to say congrats on your journey thus far, and god speed!

[@Snowman0147]

Wow I must got to this early cause there is only 23 views. Congrats on your 100th episode Rageaholic. May you get a 100 more.

[@alexisonfireagain]

Congratulations on 100 videos, watched all of them and think you are a genius!!! here's to 100!!! hip hip hooray

[@TheRageaholic]

alexisonfireagain Here's to many returns! Thanks for watching for as long as you have. I appreciate the fuck out of it.

[@kri249]

Thanks Razorfist for sharing all 100 episodes of your hobbie with us. I absolutely love your work & proud to be a ragaholic. God-fucking speed mate.

[@b3rz3rk3r9]

Honest to God, I could see this game getting a 3D remake while keeping a good 95% of everything in the first two games and no bad mechanics from the Playstation games, but I got only two groups that could do the 2D art made for modelling: Studio Gaga, or Kazushi Hagiwara. Why? Because Gaga was trained by Kentaro Miura, a man who could make metal-looking protagonists and some terrifying monsters in the Action-Horror Dark Fantasy Berserk. And Hagiwara is a Fantasy loving fan of 80's Metal, known for malong the Heavy Metal Dark Fantasy known simply as BASTARD!! Abd as a weeb myself, there is also one big bonus to choosing either: save for Puck, NO GODDAMN CHIBI SHIT!!!

[@mattmaddogwheaton4724]

Dude, Berserk and Bastard!! are two of my absolute favorite mangas ever, and that's also including Getter Robo Saga (yes, the entire Getter Robo Saga starting from the original to Getter Arc), Blame!, Appleseed, Akira, and Five Star Stories.

[@Yama_1291]

Thank you for the trip down memmory lane! I startet with BoF II. Actually had to learn english fist before I could fully enjoy it. In retrospect, I'm so happy it got released like that in Switzerland.

[@makiten]

After years of studying, I finally put my Japanese to the test by playing the majority of the game without an faq, and to my surprise, I beat BoF 2 based on that ability. Never regretted playing this series.

[@keysersoze5398]

Thank you Razorfist, your taste in gaming, humor & metal are without comparison. Rock on and keep it coming : Metal Mythos episodes seriously kick ass, I salute you. \m/

[@TWKReviewsOLD]

The only game I've ever played in the series is 3, but after hearing how good 2 is I'll be sure to check that out. Also, congrats on 100 episodes. Here's to another hundred then a hundred more!

[@frankjurado7544]

Thank YOU Razorfist for putting a tons of effort into making such hilariously good videos that always make my day and ameliorate my english d= I swear you're my favourite youtuber/reviewer! I wish you good luck on everything and please keep up the good work as long as you can =D

[@Zomious]

Breath of Fire 4 is one of my all time favs. Never managed to get the the prequels. I did pick up Dragon Quarter but just couldn't finish it due to it's difficulty. Loved the retrospective and keep up the good work bro! God fuckin' speed!!

[@mbe102]

Way to go man. I haven't really anticipated a video before, but this was well worth the wait. Keep up the good work! God fucking speed!

[@TheRageaholic]

***** Been a fan of Razörfist since 2013, and he is still informative and entertaining.

[@daedelous7094]

Pretty accurate but one little thing about Breath of Fire 4, while the gameplay was a giant leap back it delivered in 1 way that none of the others did......story. We get a story that isn't afraid to shock and go into harsh themes, showcase the darkest sides of humanity, ambition and we have Fou-lu who I am not sure if I can even properly call the villain because just look at his story! It really is a shame that the game feels slightly unfinished storywise....because what we got was so damn good.

[@LyaksandraB]

By the time news of Breath of Fire 4 made it to my ears, I didn't own any consoles anymore, only a PC. BOF4 came out for the PC, which is why I even heard of it at the time, so I had the pleasure of playing it. At a time when I was beyond disappointed with the Final Fantasies, and expecting nothing from it, BOF4 swept the rug from under my feet. My whole point here is that for someone who never touched any of the earlier games in the franchise because they seemed uninteresting, when amateurishly compared to Chrono Trigger and the Fantasies, the fact that BOF4 found a permanent place in my memories and nostalgic reminiscing is a testament of the brilliance this series possesses. Even if said greatness was already fading by then.

[@lamasu]

awesome series, 2 (my first rpg) & 3 were my favorites edit: just so you know, you very might well be my favorite youtuber to watch.

[@DantesLink]

Boy does time pass, thanks for a 100 eps of laughs and great times. Godspeed, my friend!!!

[@Dwarfman01]

Congrats on 100 episodes. And here's to a few hundred more!

[@Necrozian]

Been a fan of your vids for a long time, and i have enjoyed every single one of them. You rock Razorfist! God fucking speed!

[@donstarlancer]

Good video. I found myself feeling the same as you about Dragon Quarter when I initially played but now I find myself wanting to give it another go after reading more about it.

[@azore124]

Good choice for the 100th episode. Also Congrats on making it this far. God fucking speed.

[@Iceose]

Absolutely loved this retrospective of my most favorite RPG series while growing up. (Until they screwed it up with Dragon Quarter...) One, two, and three I would recommend to anyone who want's to play a good old school RPG, but number four is when they started to experiment, and it just started to go wrong. Thanks for 100 episodes of eloquent, intellectual, and entertaining reviews and commentary, Razorfist. God speed, bro.

[@McFatson]

First time finding a Razorfist video. Not only did it introduce me to a bitchin' channel, but it gives plenty of love to BoF2, one of my favorite RPGs of all time. It's part of the triforce of kickass that made me fall in love with the Genre, including Mario RPG and Secret of Mana. Thanks for giving some praise to a series that doesn't get as much love as it deserves.

[@NitroJavaHD]

God Speed RazorFist! Congrats on the 100th episode!

[@TheRageaholic]

Nitro Java Why, thank you! And God - fucking - SPEED for watching!

[@donzaloog1400]

Breath Of Fire is definitely one of the best JRPG franchises. If only Capcom had more faith in the series and didn't fuck it up. They need to make a real sequel preferably for consoles but I'll settle for 3DS. Congratulations on 100 episodes, Razorfist. You are hands down one of my favourite KZbinrs. You deserve a hell of a lot more subs than you already have. Here's to many more great episodes. God fucking speed!

[@TheRageaholic]

donzaloog1400 Hear, hear! Thanks for watching as long as you have, man. I appreciate it.

[@donzaloog1400]

***** Thank you for the great content. You keep creating great content like that and I definitely will. I regularly binge watch your videos.

[@Sp0UtDuDe03]

***** And on the topic of JRPG franchises, I wonder how you're getting along with the Fire Emblem series so far? You did tout Sacred Stones as a living, breathing, caricature bedecked masterpiece that also excelled at its requiring the player to strategise, after all. I hope you weren't thrown off by the Permadeath feature, though.

[@emmersoncharles205]

Breath of Fire 3 is my favorite rpg of all time. I bought a ps1 because I played FF7 on a friend's ps1. I only had money for 2 games (from overseas so could only afford a few games per year) and so I bought BoF3 and FF7 and I didn't touch FF7 till beating BoF3 twice. Such an amazing game and franchise. I managed to became a "Dragon Quarter" in the 5th game just because of love for the series. I hope they make a part 6

100th episode and it's Breath of Fire too fucking sweet. I remember when this dude's first account got tampered with and vanished from YT. Good to see him keeping on.

Wasn't expecting that that at the end of the video, Thanks for 100 episodes Razorfist

[@graph180]

Heh, I was hoping for this. BoF was the JRPG that got me hooked on the genre. Here's to 100 episodes, Razor. Cheers.

Loved the "Breath of Fire" song of nighthawks in the end! great vid!

My first RPG was BoF2 and I instantly fell in love with the series and genre from the opening crawl. Sadly the only game in the series I haven't played is 3, mainly because I cant find my copy of the game sense moving. Anyway congrats on your hundredth episode razorfist, heres hoping for a hundred more!

The BoF series is one of the greatest, but Suikoden II is hands down my favorite jrpg of all time.

[@Zucca101]

Hells yes!! I am among the few true BOF veterans and I felt similar feelings regarding DQ... Fuck, Dragon Quarter was the reason I got a PS2 to begin with!! I remember DragonTear.net and a host of other sites where we could talk about this masterpiece of a game series. BF2 was my first RPG and I recently picked up the re-translated version... It was exquisite! If you want the rom, just shoot me a reply. Who was your favorite character out of all of them? Mine was Katt Chuan! Redhead, smoking hot and the best fighter in the game! Thanks for doing this retrospective and I Happy 100th episode, Razor! You're a Titan.

I decided to check your list and I saw this. Man this game takes me back. This was probably my 2nd RPG I got into after FF and man, I loved this little short-lived franchise. But yeah, those encounter rates were a pain, especially in BOF2. I would just brave them and never run. It didn't work. I would run back in and out of the infinity dungeon like 4 times saving my process. But BOF2 was my favorite. I mean people were dropping like flies. Oh the flame wars in the GF community about the old designs vs the ones in 4. Come to find out it was the same guy. Oh how I miss those days. That was the fun part of gaming.

Hell yes! My first taste of Breath of Fire (and unfortunately for the moment my last) was Breath of Fire 2, and I agree %100. That tune, the one which builds to a crescendo and explodes into melody still gives me shivers to this day, as does that vague reference to an underworld filled with gargantuan, almost endless towers.

What a gem of a video, Razorfist covering an old favorite.

[@therabt]

A fitting episode for #100. Awesome, as usual sir.

Wow, 5 years has gone so fast. I remember the tin can audio and pixelated 240p old days when you had just started.
