Besides using some very recognizable parts of the series (Ryu, Nina, transformation into a "dragon", etc.), the reason for labeling this game under BoF is a marketing mystery. If they had bothered to completely cut ties with BoF, the experimental nature of the game would've likely been received much better instead of being targeted by BoF fans with scorn. The greatest flaw of the game to me is the complete lack of voice overs which is somewhat unusual for games this "new".***[b]difficulty-single[/b] - despite this, every time your whole party dies the game gets easier as current party XP and gained skills are transferred back to the point when you made the save. This can be omitted, though. [b]midas' touch[/b] - Ryu's dash and D-dive abilities. [b]bioroids[/b] - the genics. [b]pigmen[/b] - duke genics [b]minotaurs[/b] - deathcow genics [b]blobs[/b] - the various goo creatures [b]insectoids[/b] - there's a variety, though most commonly you see the ant-like midget humanoids who work in the fairy colony. [b]minigames[/b] - the fairy colony management. It's much more useful and time consuming than it might sound based on it being a minigame. [b]performance issues[/b] - with 3+ enemies and placing one or more magical wards (especially electrical) the camera movement and movement circle appearance becomes stuttery. --- notes for future gar genics (garsniper, garpike) have the head of a seahorse***They live in another time, another place. A labyrinth-like world devoid of all light; where civilization has been forced to live underground for generations. Man has no recollection of how life once was. Yet a Ranger named Ryu is determined to discover the world above and begins an adventure to make his way to the surface. Can he lead his people back to freedom? * For the first time on PlayStation 2 comes a brand new Breath of Fire instalment. * Visually stunning cel-shaded subterranean world settings. * Revolutionary new battle system that allows players to set up traps and decoys before going into battle. * 3-D underground worlds evolve based on your playing style for a different gameplay experience each time. * Encounter countless challenges, battles and adventures in this action-packed RPG adventure. [Box blurb]***EAN-13: [code]5055060921005[/code] Product ID: [code]SLES-51496[/code]***Reach for the Sky It's an epic quest of magical proportions. You live in another time, another place, devoid of all light sources. You are now part of the underground world. Foil your menacing enemies to reach your ultimate mission. Only you can discover the way out of the labyrinth-like dungeon that envelops you and your friends. Escape your underground captors and you'll reach the world of the living. Breath of Fire V is the first of the series to appear on the PS2, and offers visually stunning cel-shaded subterranean worldsettings and an entirely new real-time/ turn-based battle system. Breath of Fire V will keep you impressed for a long, long time!***I've heard almost nothing but bad things about this game, probably because it's quite different from its predecessors, but I quite liked it. The most notable change from previous Breath of Fire titles it the new battle system, which plays more like a strategy RPG similar to Arc the Lad. Also, Dragon Quarter is more like a giant dungeon crawler instead of a traditional Japanese RPG with an overworld to explore. This game is a lot more challenging than its predecessors and if you're upto the challenge, I think you'd find the game quite entertaining (and you can pick it up for dirt cheap online!).

Even though it has Disney characters, it is a very good game. It has a very good story line. You play as a 14-year-old kid named Sora who is trying to find his friends that were blown away by a heartless storm. The heartless are trying to unlock all of the keyholes of the worlds to take over all of them. You have to stop them. [Groovy_Duck] | labelimagesubject |

There's also plenty of elements borrowed from other classic tales without explicitly retelling them, such as Issun-bōshi.***[spoiler=Show vague hints;Hide]Get to Agata forest - use Bloom on all the dark wrinkled trees with ribbons in the starting village and talk to Mr. Orange, you'll get Lily Pad brush power. (more tips to follow; simpler tips omitted) Black cherry trees : Bloom power Green/white beam of light : dig Pile of leaves : Galestorm power Ice : Inferno power Huge flags : Galestorm power Guardian Statues : vases made by the woodcutter in Shinshu Cat statues : Catwalk power[/spoiler] Note: the game effectively pauses when drawing, and the only limit you have then is how large your ink pot (magic pool) is. Ink is restored quite fast when not drawing, so there's very little reason to upgrade it (unless some later puzzles require more). Of course, being brush heavy in the fighting will make you want to upgrade it. This is also works great for defending yourself when you otherwise feel like you can't (grow trees between the attackers and you, slash at the enemies or the stuff they throw at you, etc.) Feeding animals gives 1-5 points of praise/adoration (xp) per animal, though single feeding affects the whole herd, flock, or whatever.***Other languages are only present on the game box and manual (in-game voices/text still in English), at least in European releases. The Japanese title 大神 actually reads "great deity" rather than "wolf", but the pronunciation (and transliteration) is the same as with 狼 which stands for "wolf". So, in effect, it's a pun for "great wolf deity".***In Okami, the player takes the role of the mythical sun goddess Amaterasu, in the form of a wolf. Her task is to restore color (or 'life') to the world by destroying the monsters who have stolen it. Since Amaterasu is a deity, there are naturally people who worship her and people who don't. The more people who worship her (as a result of her restoring color and doing other good deeds for them), the more powerful she becomes.***In Ōkami, the legendary monster Orochi has come back to life and turned the world into a wasteland. To restore the earth's natural order and beauty, players assume the role of wolf-embodied sun god Amaterasu and participate in numerous action packed battles against the ominous beings they encounter. However, conquering these impending enemies is no small feat. Amaterasu will travel through different regions of the world to regain her 'Celestial Brush' powers, all the while revitalizing everything in her path. Using an innovative control scheme, gamers can slash away at enemies, use various brush strokes to solve puzzles, create pathways, chop down trees or turn night into day. The real-time fighting system not only involves assorted brush techniques, but also myriad of specials attacks typically not associated with the physical prowess of a normal wolf. Featuring a visually stunning art style, Ōkami comes alive through beautiful scenic 3D levels that have the appearance and texture of paper scrolls brushed with watercolor-like calligraphy art. Throughout the vibrant and distinctive surroundings, players must also interact with a dynamic cast of characters, building their faith to uncover clues and hints. The blend of stylized graphics and unique gameplay will result in a rich and dynamic experience never seen before.***great art style [gimura] | labelimagesubject |
