Some are special attacks that cost zero AP, such as Charge. Some Skills are duplicate magic spells, such as Frost and Shield. These are special auxilary abilities that can be used to augment a hero’s existing moveset. Each hero is hard-coded to learn a specific set of spells, and this goes a long way in defining what your heroes can do. The first three pages are magic spells, which the heroes learn by leveling up.

The systems are actually pretty simple, once you know the rules, and it’s easy and fun to take full advantage of them.Įach hero has four pages on his or her Ability menu: Heal, Attack, Assist and Skill. Through a combination of experimentation and FAQing I have learned the arcane mysteries of this game’s chewy caramel center. The game is playable like that, but you miss out on a lot of fun skills and a lot of strategy ideas. The Master and Skills systems in Breath of Fire III are particularly noteworthy here, because you can play the entire game without actually sussing out the rules, and therefore never using them properly. I’m more inclined to believe it’s outright laziness, though, considering this problem permeates through a lot of Capcom games on pretty much every system known to man. I suppose the argument could be made that this was a design choice, and that Capcom figured players would have more fun learning all the rules on their own. All five games have some pretty cool ideas you can play around with, but because of translation issues or outright laziness the rules are nearly impossible to understand without reading a FAQ. One of the characteristics shared by the Breath of Fire games is “neat gameplay systems that are never adequately explained”.
