I fact Capcom said that this game will be a "Survival RPG" and from the beginning...
I didn't got it but I f you can do a little review of it that would interest me as well.
Like how did the Dragon power works now.
Ar!! Really? So its really a Survival Rpg.. hahahaha (^_^;). I really did'nt know Capcom did mention that. But anyway if you ask for a review, you've gOt yourself one!~
Breath Of Fire V - Dragon Quater
Ok first, a note to veteran BOF fans. This game strays away from the traditional Rpg style unlike the past series. So it could mean good and bad for some. But i hope most of you will have an open mind and give this game a try. Who knows, a string of other titles with a similar style might follow up due to BOFV innovative and original concept.
I'll start off with its battle system. Moving and attacking in battle drains AP. So you havta plan carefully how you gonna move your characters around, move too much and you may not have enough AP to attack, move too little and you might not be in range. So plan carefully for the best advantage. The battle system have a mix of Xenosaga and Sakura Taisen 4 where you will usually combine a chain of different attacks(There are lvl 1 lvl 2 and lvl 3 attacks) based on how much AP you have.
Now for the dreaded part. The D-level system. Well, its the ability that allows Ryu to transform into a half human half dragon freak. After you reached the part where Ryu awakens the dragon within him you will notice a pulsating cube on the top right hand side of the screen with some numbers below, i'll explain that later. To use his dragon abilities Hold R2 and select square (Only available when his powers are awaken). Anyway, when you use Ryu in his half dragon form, he is EXTREMELY powerful. When he moves, AP does'nt drain at all. Most enemies (except for really high level ones)would'nt be able to stand 2 blows from him plus his attacks take minimum AP drain.
The drawback however.. if you use his Dragon abilities too much. Its Game over when the pulsating cube explodes as the Percentage counter reaches 100%. Every blow cost 1%. As for stronger attacks, i've yet to check it out. Definitely cost even more. But be aware, even if you never use it, the percentage counter will also increase 00.01% every few seconds when you travel. Meaning you MUST beat the game before it reaches 100%. There are still LOADS of stuff abt the game i have not listed out. I'll post the rest of it if you guys will like to know more abt it as well as try to answer some of your questions.

The dragon system sounds similar to what they did on spawn for the SNES. It had a counter at the top of the screen just like when the comic starts, everytime you used his special powers the counter went down a bit, and if you died and continued it would take a lot of time off the counter. If the counter runs of out time, you cant continue.
thanks for all.
the dragon system sound crazy....
Hahahahahaa, yeah its really unlike the past BOF series where we can use the Dragon system as much as we like. I'm already facinated at how Capcom could come up with such as idea for their BOF series. Yeah, it definitely risks its fanbase of players expecting it to be filled with the usual stuff. But their move had brought BOF to a whole new level. At the start of the game i can already see Level 80 monsters roaming ard the dungeons, and i immediately tell myself "woah..there is no way i could beat this monster unless i retry this game a couple of times". You see, there is this option for you to restart all the way frm the beginning either when your 3 characters die or you select the "Give Up" frm the Sub Menu screen. Some items will be brought over and PLUS you GET TO KEEP your Base experience Level and the remaining exp points you earn. I mean..how many RPG allows you to do all that?? (Chrono Trigger for exception)
I really hate this game from the start..serious. I don't expect Breath Of Fire to end up with such weird game concept. And Only 3 characters plus some NPC, thats just not enough! But it slowly grew on me. The story may be short, but to really complete the game, its a must to go through the game several time. So the length of the game is undetermined.
