And yes, I know Square is still putting out turn-based RPGs and Capcom has Dragon's Dogma for its action combat RPG. But none are "flagship". It'd be cool if Capcom countered FF by reviving BoF. Given how Capcom is nailing everything and has earned back an extremely high degree of goodwill from gamers, NOW IS THE TIME FOR A NEW BREATH OF FIIIIIIIIRE!
I feel the first step here would be for Capcom to acknowledge BoF even exists. I don't know if they're tracking how much players check out the game on Switch, but with the PlayStation entries still MIA on modern consoles, I don't know if there is any real demand from fans for the series. Even if the chose to reboot it, I doubt they would leave it turn-based. I imagine we would get a new combat system that will be closer to ARPG. Not like Dragon Quarter wasn't heading in that direction anyway.

It would be interesting to see Capcom at least give us a collection or something. I mean the first two games desperately need better translations, and as mentioned before, the three PlayStation efforts are locked on older systems.

I'll try to get BoFII's entry up soonish.
