Breath of Fire Turns 30.

I feel the first step here would be for Capcom to acknowledge BoF even exists.

They've acknowledged it recently in the TEPPEN mobile game with a bunch of cool new artwork and I've seen a few posts cropping up over the internet showing off BoF inspired NPCs in the story mode for Street Fighter 6.

I'm just not sure Capcom currently has the right people on board to really do anything with the franchise, or any real interest in reviving it when they can put out a Resident Evil remake or Monster Hunter spin-off that they know will sell.

BoF 3 is one of my favourite games so with any luck there will at least be some kind of remaster or re-release of that and BoF 4 for modern consoles some day...

I was laughing because SF6 had a rival character named Bosch, and apparently the currency of Metro City and Street Fighter is Zenny. So I see sly references here and there.

The frustrating thing about BoF is that unlike some other dead franchises out there, several of the core creators still work at Capcom, so it's not like they don't have people to make one. I'm wondering if BoF6 ruined Capcom's confidence in wanting to work on the series, but that shouldn't stop them from at least doing a collection or remaster. I don't think anyone's clamoring for a BoF1 remake, just the ability to access the PlayStation era titles on modern hardware, and maybe a proper translation of the first two games.
