Breath of Fire is one of the worst RPG series ever made. I've played 1/2/3/4, and each game was Side Quest: The Game. There is no main quest in each one, it's just an endless series of side quests and occasionally some sort of main villian will appear and then leave and then there's more sidequests. III was almost tolerable, but only because you could starve fairies to death in your fairy village and because the way Ryu transformed was cool. But that's about it. Haven't played Dragon Quarter and have no desire too.
