[Let's Play] Breath of Fire 3 - How to condense a JRPG!

Darn it! I don't get many chances like that any more!
Oh, brother... this is just what I needed.
That'll teach you to scare off my dinner!
You too!
You're lucky those currs didn't chew you to pieces...
I don't have enough food to feed you anyway... Even if I did take you home...
...m...mommy...?
All right, all right already... Uncle Rei'll take you home... You better appreciate this...
(These Little Things)
I wonder... What were you doing out there by yourself, hm? And without a strip of clothing?
I'm hungry...
He's home!
Boy, you'll eat anything, won't you, Teepo?
Who is that, anyway?
Don't ask me... Let's get him into your bed, OK?
(Healing)
So who is he?
I told you-- I don't know--I found him in the woods
Really...? Sounds like what happened with me...
An orphan... Not surprising--It's been a lean year...
Well, why don't we let him sleep while we go to the village... If we don't get some food soon...
Somebody abandoned him ...just like me...
And so Roo is left to his dreaming...
You're the same as me--You must understand...
They're weak! Pitiful and pathetic...
My... Roo
Roo...
Mmm... Mmmmmm...
(These Little Things)
(Huh? Where am I?)
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.
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?
There's also some Ammonia in the trees to the back.
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...
Couple of bullies, named Rei and Teepo, live around these parts.
(Cedar Woods)
Wander around like that, you're liable to get eaten up by dogs or somethin'.
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?
We haven't been able to find much to eat in the forest either. What are we going to do?
(Casually)
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.
(Country Living)
Out of my house, you punks!
It's no use, Rei. Everyone's watching out for us...
Nobody's got much food, what with the poor harvest and all...
Hey! You finally woke up, huh?
Doesn't this beat all! Now we've got another mouth to feed...
What if we get him to help us, Rei?
Good idea... But I think we need to get him out of his pajamas first.
C'mon! We'll get you fixed up with some equipment!
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...--
You just wait, Roo. Rei'll get you set up with something in no time!
Huh??...Did I just say Roo? ......Is that your name?
Funny...how did I know that? Maybe I dreamed it...?
Uh-oh! Scram!!
(The Farm)
Sure was... But we were able to get him something to wear
Hurry up, Roo. Don't be a slowpoke!
Well, it's better than pajamas, I suppose...
What do we do now, Rei?
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!
There's a road up ahead called the Yraall Road... We go there sometimes and, well, mug people.
It's not like we hurt people or anything... Just steal from 'em... I'm not into hurting people, you know...
That's right! Even a beginner like you can do it! C'mon, don't worry... Let's go!
It comes down and steals our cattle... Between that and the bad harvest, we might not be able to make it through winter...
Well, you've got the right idea... only... try people...
"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...
Man o' man... If I had all this... Just about all of it belongs to Mayor McNeil...
Whew! I'm beat! Beat I tell ya!
Isn't there some way I can take it easy and still get what I want...?
(Casually)
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.
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?
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...
You can cut bushes with Ryu's Roo's sword. Sometimes you'll find zeny. Speaking of, the bag had 40z.
All right, let's wait here... When someone comes by, we jump out...
What's up, Roo? Don't get all soft on us now...
Don't worry... We're just some poor kids trying to get some food... Whoever it is will forgive us...right?
(Panic)
He's alone... OK, Roo, show us what you're made of...Go get him!
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...
If you run into them tell them that if I catch them... they'll be sorry!
(Casually)
Who does he think he is, anyway?
Hey...wait a minute! If old man Bunyan's out here, that means there's no one at his house, right?
You're right! Let's go and grab some of his food! That'll show 'im!
(Fight!)
Okay Roo, your training starts now! Goblins aren't any problem at all, this won't be hard.
That's right! Just swing your sword and let 'im have it!
Hey, Rei?
Yeah Teepo?
This 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!

On an editor's note, I'm gonna have to change the emote sprites... Gotta add some blank space beneath them so that they actually appear properly. >.>
Holy, ballsacks. That was really well done. I wish there was more.
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.

Clunk, clunk, clunk, clunk...
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.

ENDLESS 8
What, you don't think I'm going to pull that shit when the time comes? :P
Actually, I intend to show the shortcut through the desert.
Yes, but no PSN release.

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.
Breath of Fire 3 and Tales of Eternia were pretty much the 2 big PSP imports for me.

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.
My mock surprise was meant to hint that it was a sudden switch. :P
I didn't see the cage the first time I looked at that picture!
I'm going over to my corner now.
Well, don't that just beat all...
I couldn't find a Rei fighter stance gif so I settled.
Edit- How cruel, I found a fan art one but not a legit one.

Damn it I wanted to make this joke! Okay, my only consolation is the suggestion that one Episode should be the same screenshot posted thirty times as an accurate portrayal of my memory of the desert section.
GREAT. Back to the drawing board.
Actually, it is available on the euro PSN for 10 euros.
But I see what you did there.
Wow, I guess you're right.

Wait, what? Why only Euro PSN??? WHAT THE FUCK SONY?!

THERE'S A SHORTCUT?!?!?
I put this and Suikoden 2 over FF7 as my favorite RPG. Charming 2D, lovable characters, and I like the fighting/learning system.
Oh yeah, loved the fishing here. Fuck yeah fishing!
Well, it's a PSP release not the PS1 Classic release. And the PSP version was never released in NA.
