Even though I'm a massive fan of JRPG's, I couldn't bring myself to play more than a few hours of the original Breath of Fire. Subplots just happened and were over and nothing felt like it had any impact. The pacing hurt it a lot and it made it hard for me to care much about doing anything.

That being said, though, I know they're pretty popular for an un-popular JRPG series so I hope the series gets brought back (hopefully fully remade) so I can give enjoying the series another chance.

Wait, you just played the very first game in the series and gave up?

The later games are way better.

4 and Dragon Quarter are amazing.

Where are the new IP though? :(

Capcom has so much in their closet, they really don't need to bother at this point. Stuff like Onimusha, Breath of Fire, Dino Crisis, and others would effectively be new IP's these days. Especially if they're reboots.

However, it seems their new IPs might be aimed at smaller fare. Stuff like Shinsekai on Apple Arcade is a new IP and it's said to be quite good as well.

Yeah, that's bum on me. Call it a cute little quirk of mine but I hate to move on to newer games in a series unless I finish the original (or some version of the original). I always like to go through series in order, and if I hit a roadblock along the way that's usually it for me.

I'll try giving it (and later games in the series) another chance though. I've played this many JRPG's at this point, may as well power through Breath of Fire and potentially find an unexpected gem.

Itsuno's Retweet...

Could be nothing.

COULD BE EVERYTHING.


I would not be surprised to see Itsuno working on Rival Schools now. He's been wanting to go back to that series for awhile now and the Recent Tokyo Store having that series right in the center despite no recent games or appearances really sticks out.

Are those numbers updated? DMC5 has to be over 2.1M by now.

They're old numbers, the real update for current numbers will be a bit later.

Yup. He also said he wants to work on something a bit smaller after putting in so much time and effort into DMC5.

He did? That puts even more possibility on the table. As Dragons Dogma 2 would be a pretty big project.
A Rival Schools Remake or HD title Remaster could probably be considered "small" depending on the approach. especially compared to something like DMC5.

A new Breath of Fire is the obvious direction here. Lack of JRPGs and great IP, I dunno what they're waiting for. Rival Schools was so much fun too.

I actually want to see Itsuno and co. tackle a new IP but I guess this makes financial sense. Oh well.

Dino crisis should take on the mantle of Capcom's premier action survival game. Get the RE5/6 shit out of my RE franchise.

Resident Evil 2 remake is the best thing Cacpom has done in years. Resident Evil 2 remake is the Resident Evil 4 of this gen.
