The designs for Ryu's secondary forms are so cool to look at, you'll find yourself summoning them regardless of how useful they are. You can also tool around with 'dragon genes' to let the game's protagonist, Ryu, get in touch with his dragon-side and undergo a multitude of enemy-roasting transformations. Oh, and the whole game revolves around having a beef with God. The characters are endearing, and at times, they'll break your heart. The mellow, jazzy soundtrack stays with you for years. While the European version of Breath of Fire III PSP spawned some tittle-tattle about the quality of the port - load times are reportedly an issue - the third chapter of Ryu the dragon-boy's saga is pure candy for anyone starving for a basic JRPG game. Breath of Fire III (specifically, the PSP port released in Japan and Europe back in 2005 / 2006) is now available on the North American PlayStation Store. Is there something you think we should be reporting on? Email a good day to be a dragon.
