I fluked through the desert somehow. I remember following the star and I came to the conclusion that the direction must be wrong. I had been wandering for a half an hour and it just didn't seem right.
After awhile you can kind of see what looks like a city in the distance. I wasn't sure if it was a illusion or not, but the directions weren't working so I just went for it. Luckily for me my instinct was right.
But yeah, that desert was becoming toe curling frustration up until the point I decided to give up on the directions. I remember being at my cousin's house at the time and he was watching. I distinctly remember him getting pissed at me for making him watch something so dreadfully boring. As soon as I reached the destination I was forced to save and turn it off. Thankfully he let me finish because starting over at that point would have been beyond lame.
I actually don't like Rei at all. His only trait is high agility and that's something you can have a much more powerful party with if you just train them to have it themselves.
If by 'His only trait' completely ignores
weretiger
and its ability to hit damage cap second only to Peco or celerity/super combo abuse, then yes, all he has is agility.
Elsewise he has murder on his side.

Yeah but I hate using that because of
the berserker problem associated with it. I like being in control.
I was trying to get the next update in this morning but I forgot to mention in the OP I'm currently forced to being left handed due to injury and it actually aches doing so much clicking around on the computer. I'm trying though.
I actually have the next THREE updates 'recorded' (screenshotted, raw material). So I'm making way more progress than is evident.
Well, that's why you use command. Both him andu ncontrolled kaiser follow command. Best skill in the game!
Followed by shadowwalk for Momo to fix her terrible hitting things problem.
Oh man I still have my 80 hour all items, all skills maxed save. I love breath of fire games. Maybe I should do a lp of one of the others.

Episode 3 - The Tutorial Episode
(Cedar Woods) This inconspicuous path to the mountain should make for excellent training ground for Roo.
Okay, listen up. This is a mantrap. These things are always sleeping unless you poke them. Pretty tough too. I've always had a little bit of trouble with them.
We should play to our strengths for now.
Just watch and learn Roo!
Nothing to it!
Rei's Country Livin' Tips!
So, it's like this kids. What we have here is a set of stances you can take as a team. Each stance gives its own advantages and disadvantages. If you don't feel like messing with anything, 'normal' should suit you alright. Everyone has just as much chance to get hit as the other, with no special bonuses. If you feel like playing it safe, go for the 'defense' formation. It'll keep everyone safe, but you'll act a little slower in return. If you're feeling aggressive, 'attack' would be more your thing. The person taking point gets a big boost to their damage, but they'll get targeted a lot more than the other two.
Rei's Country Livin' Tips!
People pull their own weight in different ways. They can be powerful, take hard hits well, use magic better than others, or act real fast when in a fight (my personal favorite). A good agility not only gives you better odds at acting first, but if you're fast enough you'll even get an extra turn!
Hey Rei. Why do you think this sign is here? Beats me. We probably shouldn't mess around with much. You mean like that boulder being held up by a tiny rock? That looks good for kicking. Yeah, uh, Teepo? I don't think-
Well... nobody really comes up this way so they won't know it was us, right? If by 'us' you mean you...
Weather Vanes are an item that does elemental damage in combat. Wind or lightning, I forget which.
We call these 'Gongheads.' Not sure why. They're a little dumb and aggressive. Not a big problem. But sometimes they can grow huge and hit everyone at once.
Hey, maybe someone put up that sign so we wouldn't find this stuff.
Nothing here!
You're just going to kick everything around, aren't you? The sign said not to, so how can I not?
Here we see Roo learning an ability form an enemy using the "examine" command. At Teepo's expense. Burn isn't the most powerful of spells but it will come in handy a LOT.
A glimpse of what it looks like when characters level up. Stat gains are fixed at each level. Every time you play this game, the results of level 4 will be the same for Roo, Teepo, and everyone else. There is a way to change that, but we'll get to that later! I think Roo has the hang of things, Rei. Yeah... Let's camp for the night and run through the town one more time before getting to old man Bunyan's.
You can rest and heal HP, or make a record of your journey... If you want to know more, take a look at the book in the tent.
When you're on the road and there's no inn around or when you're poor, you can always camp out, right?
We rest for the night. Come morning...
(Country Living) (The house didn't have anything in it anyway...)
There's nothing left here!
Meanwhile those two houses have a healing herb and antidote inside them.
(I thought this was a farm town?) Even though I'm sitting here goofing off like this... I don't go around stealing things like you. (Nobody is stopping me!)
As you can see, a lot of nooks and crannies have goodies. Move that camera around.
Nothing for little thieves like you, so get on! Shoo!
... I guess he's not that bothered by us. Rei's Country Livin' Tips!
All armor and weapons have weight. The more something weighs, it usually slows you down a lot more. While you can try to balance things out to have a mix of good armor or being light on your feet, it really only does any good to pick one or the other. Just remember that not every enemy is going to try to hit you, since defense does nothing against magic...
Ha! We showed her!

I have to apologize for the pace of this so far; the intro portion of the game is rather contained but is REALLY content heavy. I'm failing at the "condensing" idea but it'll pick up.

It's my favorite part about this game; right away at the start, you and your friends are acknowledged as thieves. As all JRPG heroes should be.

I heartily approve of Roo's educational curriculum. He has found firm and upstanding members of the citizenry from whom he shall learn the most sterling of examples.
They all get the Morninglord Seal of Approval. Or they would, but I stole it and hocked it for rent money.

Dang, this has got me all nostalgia'd, but I don't have BoF3. I am having a very difficult decision of whether to purchase and play BoF4 or my old copy of Chrono Cross.
As always, the threat of lots of random encounters with no ability to cut them down in BoF4 is making me antsy.
So did or did not this game get a Euro PSP release? And if I make a Euro PSN account can I buy it and have it work on my US PSP?
Yes, but no PSN release.
Actually, it is available on the euro PSN for 10 euros.
Wow, I guess you're right.
Wait, what? Why only Euro PSN??? WHAT THE FUCK SONY?!
Well, it's a PSP release not the PS1 Classic release. And the PSP version was never released in NA.
Sony and the other publishers need to step up their game and get all the psp releases available in europe and america to be the same. Just a complete list of all of them, none of this weird region bullshit.
Anyway, i bought this game for my vita again and i will be playing along after i finish MGS3 :P

Episode 4 - The Most Important Episode Ever
(Take It and Run) Keep your eyes open, Roo... Someone might hear us if we make too much noise... OK, let's split up and check the place out...quietly!
(Watch out!)
Just relax! Calm down, Roo! (Curse my muteness.)
Find something? Hey! There's food here! All right!! C'mon! Let's get outta here!
Uh-oh... Old man Bunyan's come home... gulp! ...We might be in trouble... What do we do, Rei? I'll go check it out. If something happens, I'll distract him, and you guys get away...OK?
*CRASH BANG BOOM*
There's no way Rei would get... *WAHEEEEEEE* ... ...Um, I guess I'd better go and see what's happening. Don't worry... We can get out of here, right?
*CRASH BANG BOOM*
(Where'd everybody go?)
Well that sucked.
(Cedar Woods) But I didn't think you had sunk this low! At a time like this, when everyone's suffering... Don't you know that if you don't work, you can't eat? Shut up! We were working! You just don't get it, do you? Robbing people isn't honest work! I've half the mind to run you out of the woods...but... If you say you'll mend your ways... I could forgive and forget... What do you want us to do? Rei, you're a strong lad, aren't you? I've got a job for you...
The big mountain north of the forest...? You'll know it when you see it. I want you to go there... Understand?
Don't worry... I've got something else in mind for them... You're keeping them as hostages so I'll do what you want, right? All right...I'll do it I don't know what you're up to, but I'll go to Mt. Glaus... Teepo, you keep an eye on Roo... Hey! Old man! What're we supposed to do!? Work, Teepo. If you want to eat, you have to work... Understand? What I want you to do is chop firewood... It's really simple... Teepo sets the log and Roo cuts it... You know how to use your sword, don't you? It's the <Triangle> button. If you cut too fast, you'll hit Teepo... If you cut too slow, you'll miss the log...
In case you folks missed it, we're experiencing our first one-off mini-game! Hey, no problem! We can do it in our sleep! C'mon, Roo! Let's get this over with! All right, then.........Begin!
(30)
As easy as it is, it's kind of a pain in the ass to capture screens for. Not that it's exciting. Stop!
There! We worked, didn't we? Now you won't complain if we steal, right? If you keep that up, one of these days you'll be sorry... Don't you see that? Ha! Who cares? One day, real soon, we're gettin' out of here... I ain't afraid of nothing! C'mon, Roo... Let's go after Rei! What's the old saying...? 'Cat doesn't know the stove's hot 'till it gets burnt...'
Well, despite Bunyan's warnings, Roo and Teepo head to Mount Glaus. Antidote, Heavy Caro, Cloth Shield, Vitamins, Bent Sword, Molotov, 200z, Ballock Knife, Talisman (Walking the Road)
Puff Goos don't really attack. And they defend. In return, their reprisal rate is high.
As for Currs, they can poison you, which at this stage can be troublesome.
Too steep to climb up here. Let's find another way around.
Heavy Caros are a type of fishing lure. More on that later.
Showing off heal's special effects. So shiny for a starting spell!
Hey, it's getting dark...
Maybe Rei's staying here too...
...Teepo!? What are you doing here? Heh! We took care of what old man Bunyan told us to do in no time and came after you!
...You know what, Teepo... I think the reason Bunyan sent me here alone is...Well, because he was worried about you... Wh... what do you mean 'worried about us'!? I mean, he said he was keeping us as hostages, right? You've heard the rumors, haven't you? That the monster that's been attacking the village is here, in the mountains... Bunyan meant for me to kill it. Why does he want YOU to kill the monster? I mean, it's real big and strong, right? It is... But I'm stronger... If I were alone... But now that you're here... I won't be able to use...Oh, never mind... Boy, doesn't this just beat all... Well, no use worrying about that now... Let's get some rest-- It'd be dangerous to go out at night...
(Encounter) Oh, boy, here we go. I guess we have no choice...Let's go out there and get him.
Here we go! (Battle in the Coming Days)
At this point, Roo is a little on the weak side, and Teepo doesn't have any oomph either.
Oh right, the Nue can poison too.
This is part of why I like the Attack formation; you can more easily predict buff priority.
Oh, and then there's the increased damage thing. 35 is good! Seriously!
A little purify action here. Honestly this is the first time I've seen it in-battle.
Flare looks like it hurts. He's running away!
I have a feeling he went this way.
Naturally, this will make it easier to know which paths lead to treasures. (Heavy Echo)
TREASURE!
I think I figured it out! He must have jumped into the water to get away... Yeah... That's it. ...You're probably right... So, how do we go after him? ... ... ...I dunno. (Thanks for that Teepo.)
Zombies! Predictably slow and durable, and they start battle afflicted by 'confuse.' I know what you're thinking; why are you healing a zombie?
Because it counts as damage! It actually did 71, the numbers roll randomly before displaying the final calculation. Curse this medium I've chosen.
Our first trinket. And since Roo is the star of the show, he gets it. Screw Teepo and Rei.
We dive in from here! And then we float down to that spot we saw before... Yeah... That's it. Hmmmm. What do you think, Roo? Is Teepo right?
I screwed up so bad here, because there's a reaction to each. Answering yes, which I did: OK, Roo. You go first.
Answer no, as I should have: Geronimo!!
Didn't we just answer this?!
Uh-huh... But what would we have done if we kept on going? I guess it worked out OK, so let's go!
Oh right, bats. They're of no threat at all. I almost forgot to display them for this whole thing as a result. To make it up to them, I'm showing you five at once.
(Ambushed) This should be easy, right, Rei? I hope so... (Battle in the Coming Days)
Last battle, you can get a Life Shard. I missed it, but they're not substantial at all.
I won't bullshit you guys, this isn't necessarily complicated.
I have a bad feeling about this.
Oh, right, this part hurts a lot.
Luckily he can only do it once! And see the above two beat-it-up images, then...
.........It's dead
That's a little freaky...
They're...they're cubs. But it looks like they've been dead for a long time... That Nue must not have realized they were dead and kept on bringing food back for them... (Cadaver) Boy, it wasn't too bright, was it? I mean, its cubs were already dead... Boy, if this doesn't beat all... Sheesh...
To break the mood, I left another prompt in the screenshots. Stop crying. I'm talking to YOU.
for a change, mmm? When spring comes... The animals will return, and life will get a little easier... You all did a good job...congratulations!
You knew the Nue was only hunting for food for her cubs... And you still had us kill her!? If you had known she had cubs.... would you have let her live...?

No episode will be the length of episode 4 by the way. Aside from risk of running into the character-count limit on posts again, it's 5MB in a single shot. Plus it took me like 12 hours of working on and off getting past my wrist sores to make it happen. But there it is!
I was going to edit my post with an actual question too. I thought I read you can turn the camera in BoF3, I've never done this in the game... how do you do it?

Shoulder buttons. I forget if it's R1 or R2, I do it instinctively at this point. Only doable when you can move around. And once you press and hold the button, anything moving on screen acts as if the game were paused.
I think it's holding one of the shoulder buttons and using left/right on the dpad, isn't it? You can only rotate it a few degrees in either direction and it snaps back to default when you let go. So it's only really useful for seeing items hidden around corners.

I thought you had to hit select first to use the "scout ahead" view, and then you could temporarily rotate the camera by holding one of the shoulder buttons. It's definite that it will snap back to the default angle upon release, however.

Oh fuck, I forgot about that! I've been running around like a douchebag exploring things in full when I can cheat with that.
Apparently he doesn't have Bloodlust though. He was waiting for morning.
Also.
"Earned them a place in the villagers hearts."
Sweet! They trust you now Roo!
Steal everything!
Bunyan is cold. I bet he snuck in and slaughtered them cubbies with nary a twitch in his heart.
To be fair, the cubs would have died anyhow without their mother.
Trying to justify this little shindig is a mugs game mate.

Episode 5 - Let's NOT Learn Any Lessons (part a)
(These Little Things) I went to the west woods, looking for animals and berries... and look what I found!
Now we won't have to worry about food anymore, right Rei? It's a good thing we got rid of that monster, huh? ...I suppose so Hey! Why don't we go down to the village and show 'em who did it? Tell 'em who got rid of the monster! Hmmm... ... ... I don't know... Isn't it better if we don't brag about it? W.. Why's that? But... ... ... I suppose it wouldn't hurt to go see what they're saying about us, would it? Then we can go!? Come on, come on!
I didn't formally introduce goblins and boss goblins. Boss goblins have some crazy high agility and will always go first. They issue a command to other monsters (seen here) that focus-fires one of your characters. Pro tip: they're holding onto a strong light-weight armor that can be stolen!
Before going into town there's things to see! First, fishing is available in the game from here on out (fishing locations marked by fish jumping in water). Second, a new path opened on the world map. Let's see what's there.
As you can see, well, I'm on a journey... And, well, I've used all my money and I can't find any food... I've found myself in a bit of a spot here... So, that's why I want to make you an offer... (You're not gonna ask us to kill any nues or crazy stuff like that, are you?) In exchange for all your money, I'll teach you my most powerful magics... In other words, I'll be your Master, and you'll be my apprentice... (That sounds kind of sinister.) The more you train, the more spells you'll be able to use... What do you say? Um, no. W-w-w-w-w-w-what? You want to quit? Well, if you change your mind, you know where to find me.
(Half Asleep) That's funny...no one's here... I told everyone that we'd be coming into town today... What? I knew you were bragging! I knew it! Heh heh...
Hey, Teepo... What's going on? Hey, Rei. Is it true what they say...? That you three killed the Nue? Well... um yeah. So what Bunyan was saying is true then... So you mean you risked your lives ...for us? I guess you could say that... Well done!! (Country Living) Looks like we misjudged you boys... We're sorry... and we're grateful... We certainly are! If we'd known what you were really like before, well then... You won't need to steal anything ever again! We'll give you food whenever you need it--just ask!
What do you think of that--we're heroes!? I don't know about you... but I feel pretty important...
I'm really impressed... No, I mean it...I am. And you are? Me? My name is Loki I guess you guys are heroes, eh? Saved the village, yeah? Yep, you three are certainly heroes... yep, yes indeed. Rei, he's scaring me. Yep, you're really something...I mean, you killed that Nue, something no one else was able to do... ......That's why, seeing as you're so strong... I wanted to ask for your help... I'm not sure if- Sure! Oh! You'll help me? I just knew you would! Down the road, there's a farm with a little hut on the roadside... I'll meet you there later...OK? Then we have a deal. Okay, fine, we have some business to take care of first.
Oh neat!
If you'll notice, the prices are exactly the same. But here's the deal. Mygas wants your money. You may as well spend it on things. Some fishing gear, curing items, only a few herbs. Why only a few healing herbs? That'll come up later. Spend your money on other nessecities. Now, back to Mygas.
We know! We're here to give you our money... all one zeny. Oh! I can see you're one who's going places! If you become my apprentice, your AP and Intelligence will go up faster... 'Course, your Power and Defense won't go up as fast... So, who wants to be my apprentice?
I hereby recognize Teepo as my apprentice!
People can only apprentice under one master at a time. At this point I have plans for Roo and Rei, so Teepo gets the honor. Besides, he's kinda magical. Farewell... Come back after you've gotten stronger. If you're ready, I'll teach you some of my spells!
This is the "Master" list in camp. Those numbers represent the stat gains and losses per levels (you can't lose stats you have already, just subtractions from gains up to a point of nullifying). And now to introduce a new feature of the LP,
Camp Chatter! Did you see the way they talked about us? heh heh heh... I suppose a little fame never hurt anyone...
(The Farm) I suppose that since you got rid of the Mt. Glaus monster... I can look the other way if you want to steal something... (I guess we'll look the other way of you laying around all day.)
The crops sure are looking much better. Not bad, not bad... Now you won't have to hide your faces around the village.
We're lucky that the monster's not around anymore to take our food and crops... But I guess they'll just end up being taken by McNeil for taxes in the end... What a life...
(Thief) You know, the ones about Mr. McNeil? That he's cheap and greedy? There's lots of people like that... Yes, but... well, don't you think... that McNeil is a little, well, too greedy? Hmmm? So you're saying... You want us heroes to steal everything back, is that it? Um...well... If you stole the tax money and gave it back to the villagers... It'll make us even more popular, right? So you'll do it, then? Oh, thank you so much!
For the last time Teepo, we're not naming ourselves as a thief group. Oh come on! Roo, don't you think 'Sticky Bandits' is a cool name?
Let's go, let's go! They just finished repairing the wall, so it might be hard to find a way in, but... I'm sure people as resourceful as you can find a way, right? All right, let's go! Roo! Rei!
Let's split up and look for a way in. Be careful...
(I wish they'd stop running all over leaving me alone like that!)
I think it's to the north...But you won't be able to get in that way...the repair- men did a perfect job, see?
Why don't you just knock on the front door and say... "We're here to give back to everyone all the money you stole!"
This is no problem for me... But I wonder if Roo would be able to handle it?
Hey... isn't that the wall they were working on before...?
...Rei!
Are you OK? Don't this just beat all... So much for the perfect repair job... This isn't exactly how I planned it... But I'll take any break I can get... OK, let's go.

Episode 5 - Let's NOT Learn Any Lessons (part b)
(Take It and Run) So, how do we get around here? Not sure, but it looks like we're not alone. I'm trying to break in here... So don't tell the guards you saw me, OK?
Oh, it's just Rei... Hey, if you beat that Nue... then I don't stand a chance against you, right? You're a pretty smart fellow... We're going in, OK?
Boy that was convenient. Heh heh...thanks. Our salary's not that great, you know? Go right ahead... I didn't see anything.
... is what I'm supposed to say.
(What's a wallet doing here...?) You found the wallet! What're you gonna do with that thing Roo?
I've been looking for it everywhere! I really shouldn't do this, but seeing as you found my wallet... I'll let you through, OK?
Not all guards are lazy. If there's a search light, you're in for it and you get sent back to the start. Plus, that jerk wants 50 zeny again and the burglar won't give you anymore.
Do it, what's the worse that can happen?
Hey! Quitting time...
I mean, if I let you through here... it'll look like I wasn't doing my job, right? Okay guys, this might be the one we're out of luck on... I hate to ask you this, but... Do you think you could go over to the gate and get rid of the dog that's there? See, that way... It'll look like the dog's fault, not mine, right? Please? Don't that just beat all? They're all a bunch of goof-offs!
It doesn't seem right, picking on a little dog like this, Rei. Would you say the same thing if he'd bitten your butt while you were climbing over the wall, Teepo? Rather this than another Nue... Let's do it!
And there's the most important aspect of this fight - learning Snap. It's a weak attack that applies a defense debuff. Since this is a one-off mini-boss...
(I don't FEEL great...)
Unlike me, all the guards there take their jobs seriously.
I'd better go make sure she's alright!
Instead of being stuck in this corner! Sounds like there's something about Mina. Let's check this out.
M-M -Mina... W-w-would you like to s-s-spend some time with me? I don't know...
This is like a bad kid's anime...
Some guy is asking her about time. You say Mina's here! With another man!? That's terrible! I can't believe it! Wow, he sure ran off in a hurry. What's he guarding?
Since we can't get in the house 'cause of all the guards, why don't we just steal some eggs and go home! Um...I don't think so... Aren't you setting your sights a little low there, Teepo? Whoa! Rei!
I don't think that'll make him happy...
Rocky here is what I would consider the first deadly boss fight, even if this is a mini-boss. He has a deadly attack called "Jump" which will randomly inflict high damage. It can be learned. Oh, also.
Yes, Rei has a tail in egg form. Characters turned to eggs cannot act, and generally become the enemy's target. Still with some persistance...
(Still not feeling 'great' about these fights!)
(Crowing in the Night)
Okay, the game seriously only has one chicken run out at a time, even if it's really fast. Let's George Lucas this up.
Whoa! What's happening!? eeeeeeeeeeek! The chickens! They're escaping! Close the gates! Everyone after the chickens! Rocky's been acting up again... Boy, that worked better than we could have hoped for...We should be able to sneak into the house real easy now!
(Silence... like, stop the music.) What should we do, Rei? I'll go check it out...
Roo! They're all guarding the door... Should we give up? ...No... Let's force our way in... Force... You mean... fight the guards? No... I'll act as a decoy... And while they're after me, you two sneak in... I'll climb up to the roof and meet you there, OK?
(Tiger Power) Let's go, Roo!
Okay, it's working out so far...
Okay, so there's giant bugs. Roaches have the Jump ability, which they don't always use, but if you're not careful...
This happens.
Lucky for us, the game has a hidden stat, Willpower, which gives you a chance to immediately raise from being KO'd. Now we can only hope the other roach's attack misses.
Uh... SEE YOU GUYS NEXT EPISODE THIS NEVER HAPPENED!

If I had any money by the way, I'd be offering prizes for catching typos of Roo's name still being "Ryu."
And I couldn't keep episode 5 short as I wanted. I did cut out a big chunk from it but it was a nonsequitor and can be its own episode (and will be, and brief).

After awhile you can kind of see what looks like a city in the distance. I wasn't sure if it was a illusion or not, but the directions weren't working so I just went for it. Luckily for me my instinct was right.
But yeah, that desert was becoming toe curling frustration up until the point I decided to give up on the directions. I remember being at my cousin's house at the time and he was watching. I distinctly remember him getting pissed at me for making him watch something so dreadfully boring. As soon as I reached the destination I was forced to save and turn it off. Thankfully he let me finish because starting over at that point would have been beyond lame.
If by 'His only trait' completely ignores
Elsewise he has murder on his side.
Yeah but I hate using that because of
I was trying to get the next update in this morning but I forgot to mention in the OP I'm currently forced to being left handed due to injury and it actually aches doing so much clicking around on the computer. I'm trying though.
I actually have the next THREE updates 'recorded' (screenshotted, raw material). So I'm making way more progress than is evident.
Followed by shadowwalk for Momo to fix her terrible hitting things problem.
Oh man I still have my 80 hour all items, all skills maxed save. I love breath of fire games. Maybe I should do a lp of one of the others.
So, it's like this kids. What we have here is a set of stances you can take as a team. Each stance gives its own advantages and disadvantages. If you don't feel like messing with anything, 'normal' should suit you alright. Everyone has just as much chance to get hit as the other, with no special bonuses. If you feel like playing it safe, go for the 'defense' formation. It'll keep everyone safe, but you'll act a little slower in return. If you're feeling aggressive, 'attack' would be more your thing. The person taking point gets a big boost to their damage, but they'll get targeted a lot more than the other two.
People pull their own weight in different ways. They can be powerful, take hard hits well, use magic better than others, or act real fast when in a fight (my personal favorite). A good agility not only gives you better odds at acting first, but if you're fast enough you'll even get an extra turn!
Weather Vanes are an item that does elemental damage in combat. Wind or lightning, I forget which.
Here we see Roo learning an ability form an enemy using the "examine" command. At Teepo's expense. Burn isn't the most powerful of spells but it will come in handy a LOT.
A glimpse of what it looks like when characters level up. Stat gains are fixed at each level. Every time you play this game, the results of level 4 will be the same for Roo, Teepo, and everyone else. There is a way to change that, but we'll get to that later!
We rest for the night. Come morning...
Meanwhile those two houses have a healing herb and antidote inside them.
As you can see, a lot of nooks and crannies have goodies. Move that camera around.
... I guess he's not that bothered by us.
All armor and weapons have weight. The more something weighs, it usually slows you down a lot more. While you can try to balance things out to have a mix of good armor or being light on your feet, it really only does any good to pick one or the other. Just remember that not every enemy is going to try to hit you, since defense does nothing against magic...
Is it nailed down? Then steal the nails too!
It's my favorite part about this game; right away at the start, you and your friends are acknowledged as thieves. As all JRPG heroes should be.
They all get the Morninglord Seal of Approval. Or they would, but I stole it and hocked it for rent money.
As always, the threat of lots of random encounters with no ability to cut them down in BoF4 is making me antsy.
Sony and the other publishers need to step up their game and get all the psp releases available in europe and america to be the same. Just a complete list of all of them, none of this weird region bullshit.
Anyway, i bought this game for my vita again and i will be playing along after i finish MGS3 :P

Well that sucked.
In case you folks missed it, we're experiencing our first one-off mini-game!
As easy as it is, it's kind of a pain in the ass to capture screens for. Not that it's exciting.
Well, despite Bunyan's warnings, Roo and Teepo head to Mount Glaus.
Puff Goos don't really attack. And they defend. In return, their reprisal rate is high.
As for Currs, they can poison you, which at this stage can be troublesome.
Heavy Caros are a type of fishing lure. More on that later.
Showing off heal's special effects. So shiny for a starting spell!
Here we go!
At this point, Roo is a little on the weak side, and Teepo doesn't have any oomph either.
Oh right, the Nue can poison too.
This is part of why I like the Attack formation; you can more easily predict buff priority.
Oh, and then there's the increased damage thing. 35 is good! Seriously!
A little purify action here. Honestly this is the first time I've seen it in-battle.
Flare looks like it hurts.
Naturally, this will make it easier to know which paths lead to treasures.
TREASURE!
Zombies! Predictably slow and durable, and they start battle afflicted by 'confuse.' I know what you're thinking; why are you healing a zombie?
Because it counts as damage! It actually did 71, the numbers roll randomly before displaying the final calculation. Curse this medium I've chosen.
Our first trinket. And since Roo is the star of the show, he gets it. Screw Teepo and Rei.
I screwed up so bad here, because there's a reaction to each. Answering yes, which I did:
Answer no, as I should have:
Didn't we just answer this?!
Oh right, bats. They're of no threat at all. I almost forgot to display them for this whole thing as a result. To make it up to them, I'm showing you five at once.
Last battle, you can get a Life Shard. I missed it, but they're not substantial at all.
I won't bullshit you guys, this isn't necessarily complicated.
Oh, right, this part hurts a lot.
Luckily he can only do it once! And see the above two beat-it-up images, then...
That's a little freaky...
They're...they're cubs. But it looks like they've been dead for a long time... That Nue must not have realized they were dead and kept on bringing food back for them...
To break the mood, I left another prompt in the screenshots. Stop crying. I'm talking to YOU.
Nice job dude, big ups on the music links again. I still get a little teary eyed at the end of that scene.

Sounds a lot like this:
Also.
Sweet! They trust you now Roo!
Steal everything!
Bunyan is cold. I bet he snuck in and slaughtered them cubbies with nary a twitch in his heart.
By the way, if you fail the mini-game, Bunyan says, "I don't think you've learned your lesson yet. Again!" What a dick.

Oh fuck, I forgot about that! I've been running around like a douchebag exploring things in full when I can cheat with that.

It's all round horrible lets just leave it at that.
I didn't formally introduce goblins and boss goblins. Boss goblins have some crazy high agility and will always go first. They issue a command to other monsters (seen here) that focus-fires one of your characters. Pro tip: they're holding onto a strong light-weight armor that can be stolen!
Before going into town there's things to see! First, fishing is available in the game from here on out (fishing locations marked by fish jumping in water). Second, a new path opened on the world map. Let's see what's there.
If you'll notice, the prices are exactly the same. But here's the deal. Mygas wants your money. You may as well spend it on things. Some fishing gear, curing items, only a few herbs. Why only a few healing herbs? That'll come up later. Spend your money on other nessecities. Now, back to Mygas.
People can only apprentice under one master at a time. At this point I have plans for Roo and Rei, so Teepo gets the honor. Besides, he's kinda magical.
This is the "Master" list in camp. Those numbers represent the stat gains and losses per levels (you can't lose stats you have already, just subtractions from gains up to a point of nullifying). And now to introduce a new feature of the LP,
Not all guards are lazy. If there's a search light, you're in for it and you get sent back to the start. Plus, that jerk wants 50 zeny again and the burglar won't give you anymore.
And there's the most important aspect of this fight - learning Snap. It's a weak attack that applies a defense debuff. Since this is a one-off mini-boss...
This is like a bad kid's anime...
Rocky here is what I would consider the first deadly boss fight, even if this is a mini-boss. He has a deadly attack called "Jump" which will randomly inflict high damage. It can be learned. Oh, also.
Yes, Rei has a tail in egg form. Characters turned to eggs cannot act, and generally become the enemy's target. Still with some persistance...
Okay, the game seriously only has one chicken run out at a time, even if it's really fast. Let's George Lucas this up.
Okay, so there's giant bugs. Roaches have the Jump ability, which they don't always use, but if you're not careful...
This happens.
Lucky for us, the game has a hidden stat, Willpower, which gives you a chance to immediately raise from being KO'd. Now we can only hope the other roach's attack misses.
Uh... SEE YOU GUYS NEXT EPISODE THIS NEVER HAPPENED!
And I couldn't keep episode 5 short as I wanted. I did cut out a big chunk from it but it was a nonsequitor and can be its own episode (and will be, and brief).
