Breath of Fire 1 was okay. A bit too easy, I mean, you can beat the last boss at level 27 though. Even though it does throw off some hard bosses. (Nameley that gremlin)
Breath of Fire II was a bit too linear-You just go to a town, solve its problems, and move on to the next. The Shamanizing or whatever it was called was pretty cool though, and Nina has her best incarnation in that game.
Breath of fire III was pretty good-I was just severley annoyed by the high encounter rate (I can beat the game without stopping to level, but it's fun to slaughter Myria at a really high level), but I liked the colourful graphics, and Garr=
I haven't played much of Breath of Fire IV, but I liked what I played of it.
I played some of Breath of Fire V and Loved the battle system. I only rented it and wasn't really interested.
