    Makes me glad to see people excited for this thread. I'm going to space out updates by two or three days minimum to make sure Photobucket doesn't drop a load from overuse.

    rei.png Darn it! I don't get many chances like that any more!

    bof30205.jpg
    rei.png Oh, brother... this is just what I needed.

    bof30206.jpg
    rei.png That'll teach you to scare off my dinner!
    rei.png You too!

    bof30207.jpg
    rei.png You're lucky those currs didn't chew you to pieces...

    bof30208.jpg
    rei.png I don't have enough food to feed you anyway... Even if I did take you home...
    ryufound.png ...m...mommy...?
    rei.png All right, all right already... Uncle Rei'll take you home... You better appreciate this...

    embed.png (These Little Things)
    bof30209.jpg
    reicarry.png I wonder... What were you doing out there by yourself, hm? And without a strip of clothing?

    bof30210.jpg
    bof30211.jpg
    teepo.png I'm hungry...
    teepo.pngemotestar.png He's home!

    bof30212.jpg
    reicarry.png Boy, you'll eat anything, won't you, Teepo?
    teepo.png Who is that, anyway?
    reicarry.png Don't ask me... Let's get him into your bed, OK?

    embed.png (Healing)
    bof30213.jpg
    teepo.png So who is he?
    rei.png I told you-- I don't know--I found him in the woods
    teepo.png Really...? Sounds like what happened with me...
    rei.png An orphan... Not surprising--It's been a lean year...

    bof30214.jpg
    rei.png Well, why don't we let him sleep while we go to the village... If we don't get some food soon...
    teepo.png Somebody abandoned him ...just like me...

    bof30215.jpg
    And so Roo is left to his dreaming...

    bof30216.jpg
    vegetapoint.png You're the same as me--You must understand...

    We find a Vitamin and a Worm in the house.

    Just a note: I have no idea why this area gets a red label, which typically denotes important things. Because it's not special at all.

    bof30222.jpg
    goblin-1.png Even though I look like this, I know a thing or two about camps... Come back later with your friends and I'll tell you everything I know, OK?

    bof30223.jpg
    There's also some Ammonia in the trees to the back.

    bof30224.jpg
    eyegoo-1.png Oh! Don't be afraid! I won't hurt you! I'm an 'Eye Goo' I'll tell you all about how to fight... Come back when you've got some equipment...

    bof30225.jpg
    woodsman.png Couple of bullies, named Rei and Teepo, live around these parts.

    bof30227.jpg
    durandal.png There's an old man named Bunyan who lives here in the woods... He's kind of strange-- why else would he want to live by himself in the woods like that?
    forestgirl.png We haven't been able to find much to eat in the forest either. What are we going to do?

    The world map at last! There's no two ways about it, it's pretty danged neat. It gives approximate designs of all towns and dungeons and such from this view. But onward to town.

    angrylady.png Out of my house, you punks!

    bof30231.jpg
    teepo.png It's no use, Rei. Everyone's watching out for us...
    rei.png Nobody's got much food, what with the poor harvest and all...

    bof30232.jpg
    teepo.png Hey! You finally woke up, huh?
    rei.png Doesn't this beat all! Now we've got another mouth to feed...
    teepo.png What if we get him to help us, Rei?
    rei.png Good idea... But I think we need to get him out of his pajamas first.
    teepo.png C'mon! We'll get you fixed up with some equipment!

    bof30233.jpg
    rei.png We may not have been able to steal any food... But I think we can scrounge up some armor and weapons.
    -- door click, and he's in...--
    teepo.png You just wait, Roo. Rei'll get you set up with something in no time!
    ryupjs.pngemotenervous.png
    teepo.png Huh??...Did I just say Roo? ......Is that your name?
    ryupjs.pngemoteteardrop.png
    teepo.png Funny...how did I know that? Maybe I dreamed it...?

    bof30234.jpg
    rei.png Uh-oh! Scram!!

    embed.png (The Farm)
    bof30235.jpg
    rei.png Sure was... But we were able to get him something to wear
    teepo.png Hurry up, Roo. Don't be a slowpoke!

    bof30236.jpg
    rei.png Well, it's better than pajamas, I suppose...
    teepo.png What do we do now, Rei?
    rei.png Well... Everyone in town's in a bad mood over the poor harvest... I know! Let's hit the road! We can do some work there!
    teepo.png There's a road up ahead called the Yraall Road... We go there sometimes and, well, mug people.
    ryu.pngemoteteardrop.png
    rei.png It's not like we hurt people or anything... Just steal from 'em... I'm not into hurting people, you know...
    teepo.png That's right! Even a beginner like you can do it! C'mon, don't worry... Let's go!

    bof30237.jpg
    scytheworker.png It comes down and steals our cattle... Between that and the bad harvest, we might not be able to make it through winter...

    bof30238.jpg
    bof30239.jpg
    teepo.pngWell, you've got the right idea... only... try people...

    bof30240.jpg
    embed.png "Keep it up...You never know what you can learn talking to people and things you meet..." ...at least, that's what you think it's saying...

    bof30241.jpg
    scytheworker.png Man o' man... If I had all this... Just about all of it belongs to Mayor McNeil...
    farmwomanwork.png Whew! I'm beat! Beat I tell ya!

    bof30242.jpg
    loki.png Isn't there some way I can take it easy and still get what I want...?

    embed.png (Casually)
    bof30243.jpg
    Next stop, Yraall Road! Oh, most places in the game you can just walk over in the world map once you've passed through once completely. Like the farm road and McNeil now.

    bof30244.jpg
    teepo.png This road goes all the way to Wyndia... Someday, we're gonna blow this place and head out to a big city like Wyndia... right, Rei?
    rei.png Well... instead of worrying about that, let's think about getting something to eat today, OK? We should go hide and wait for someone to come by... Behind that tree up there looks good to me...

    bof30245.jpg
    bof30246.jpg
    You can cut bushes with Ryu's Roo's sword. Sometimes you'll find zeny. Speaking of, the bag had 40z.
    rei.png All right, let's wait here... When someone comes by, we jump out...

    bof30247.jpg
    teepo.png What's up, Roo? Don't get all soft on us now...
    rei.png Don't worry... We're just some poor kids trying to get some food... Whoever it is will forgive us...right?

    embed.png (Panic)
    bof30248.jpg
    rei.png He's alone... OK, Roo, show us what you're made of...Go get him!

    bof30249.jpg
    bof30250.jpg
    bof30251.jpg
    bunyankneel.png What are you trying to do, little one? Mug me, hmm? We've got enough trouble around here already with those rascals Teepo and Rei...

    bof30252.jpg
    bunyankneel.png If you run into them tell them that if I catch them... they'll be sorry!

    embed.png (Casually)
    bof30253.jpg
    teepo.png Who does he think he is, anyway?

    bof30254.jpg
    rei.png Hey...wait a minute! If old man Bunyan's out here, that means there's no one at his house, right?
    teepo.png You're right! Let's go and grab some of his food! That'll show 'im!

    embed.png (Fight!)
    bof30255.jpg
    rei.pngOkay Roo, your training starts now! Goblins aren't any problem at all, this won't be hard.
    teepo.pngThat's right! Just swing your sword and let 'im have it!

    bof30256.jpg
    teepo.pngHey, Rei?
    rei.pngYeah Teepo?
    teepo.pngThis is going to take a while, isn't it?

    Imgur's policies limit how many images you can have from what I remember. And I don't know how easy the interface / organizing files is. I'm working with a devil I know to test it out.

    That said, HOORAY a new episode you guys! Enjoy it!

    Edit - Awesome work, Henroid. "Doesn't this beat all!" I went looking for Rei attack sprites to make an animated avatar but couldn't find any. I found ones for Garr though.

    I love this game. I actually bought it, played most of the way through it... got distracted by another game. Ended up trading it in, then buying it back again later and playing to completion.

    I think BoF3 was the height of the series. It had everything. Great style, music, fun combat, interesting characters, compelling story, etc. IV was good too, but I disliked the Dragon transformation system. It's departure from the perfect system they had in III was unnecessary.

    It's a shame that Capcom abandoned this franchise like they did many of their other more interesting IP's. I would like to say that I would kill for another sequel, but I don't have any faith in Capcom anymore. I'd rather they just left it to nostalgia at this point.

    Wow, somehow missed this thread. Love Breath of Fire since back in the SNES days of the original and Breath of Fire 3 was awesome (if not really long). Really glad I imported in for the PSP. This actually reminds me that I still haven't finished 4. Should probably dig the disc out and finish it one of these days.

    I actually imported the Euro PSP version for some reason. I guess I like this game and the PSP's early library was awful.

    Region-free though, so if you're really jonesing for some PSP BoF, you can probably find a used copy on ebay or something and it will work no problem with any PSP.

    It actually just lends credence to my view of the PSP; the only things I want for it are ports and remakes, literally. No original content. Well, except Ys 7. Okay but anyhow.

    I'm debating if I should try to conserve level gains for Ryu Roo and Teepo at the start so I can have some wiggle room for master stat gains. I forget how you trigger Bunyan being a master (spoilers! whatever it's the start of the game). I've read that you can do it after beating the first boss but I've never had it work that way. Then I just recently read you can do it after visiting a specific place for the first time.

    Yeah screen grabs don't capture this kind of transition well. I thought the broken cage when the currs were sniffing Roo would be enough of a hint. :P

    Bleh, either way. Capcom needs to realize they're slowly going in the shitter and bring back BoF. Even if it's just a re-release on XBL/PSN.
