Assuming he's allowed to go full dragon and grind some levels, Ryu would totally beat Ryu in a fight. SF Ryu only has a dragon punch, BoF Ryu has the entire rest of the dragon as well.

Ryu is a Link from the Legend of Zelda series situation. Technically all different people who fill the same archetype vaguely in the same world. All of them can turn into dragons that trivialize combat. It’s a series that tends to be on the easy side other than 2, which has some experience curve issues
I always figured that reincarnation came into play to some extent.
If that was the case, they'd also all be the same Ryu.
Did Dragon Quarter kill Breath of Fire, or did Dragon Quarter happen because 4 had already damaged it?
Or did Capcom kill it as part of its decade of chasing Western trends, and all the games sold fine?
I definitely think the overall impression is that Dragon Quarter got too weird and people just wanted more classic RPGs from that series. Also Dragon Quarter was kind of a weird testing ground for Dead Rising's eventual mechanics?
Anyway yeah by the time Dragon Quarter was out JRPGs were kind of on a downswing and having this just weird thing not a lot of people were willing to look at coming from an admittedly solid B-franchise kind of killed it.

I think pretty much everyone likes BoF4?
That's about what I figured.

I still want my Breath of Fire where Peco the onion is the main character.
I had a weird flashback to playing the NES Ninja Gaiden games and my hands curled in fear at remembering how to wall jump.

Fou-lu is probably the breakout people's favorite in Breath of Fire 4, I was hoping we'd see him again in Capcom-wide crossovers. Technically he's also Ryu.
Not a day goes by that I don't think about playing Breath of Fire 3 or 4 again. But then I remember some of the systems in those games and realize that I just don't have the patience anymore. Put 'em on Switch. My tolerance for BS is much higher on handheld consoles.

Was it four that had the dragon gene system?

Three also had it, and you mix and match up to three genes to come up with a Dragon. Bof3 had more varied forms instead of the standard half-dragon transformation in BoF4.
There's some hidden combinations to make up Super Saiyan Dragon Ryu, or a fusion to become a dragon based on your party mates.
BoF3's dragon implementation was great, it's the Master/Trainer systems, fairy village, and (to a lesser extent) fishing that keep me from another playthrough. Same with BoF4, but I also remember the pacing being slower? Or maybe the third game jumped around more?
I have fond memories of BoF2 as well, and I hope that lands on the Switch SNES library, but the translation/localization on the SNES version is horrible.

BoF1 is real rough. It's basically a NES game on the SNES in terms of music, text, and a lot of design elements.
I remember 2 being a lot better.
3 was one of my favorite PSX games. It definitely had some annoying time sinks, but also a lot of really great stuff. For instance, the battle animations for kid Ryu.
Never played 4. I should remedy that. Looks like there was a PC version, but don't know if it's available on any storefront.

BoF1 is on SNES and GBA. Also phones in Japan apparently?
BoF2 is also on SNES and GBA, but the GBA version is quite a bit better. Better encounter rate and such.
BoF3 is on PS1, and has a PSP only port
BoF4 is on PS1, and is a PSClassic so is available on PS3, PSP, and Vita.
Dragon Quarter is on PS2 and I think PS3 as a digital release.

Not exactly!
The first three games definitely take place in the same world. The fourth and fifth take place in different settings.
The sixth does, too, but nobody knows about that game.
Ryu 6 is also the older brother of the BoF6 protagonist, not the hero himself.
I always figured that reincarnation came into play to some extent.
If that was the case, they'd also all be the same Ryu.
This made me google Breath of Fire 6, which lead to me being shocked to my core when an actual Wikipedia result popped up.
Then I read the contents of that page, and I blame you for the cursed knowledge I gained.
I'm watching Giant Bomb's Dreamcast Streamcast and they're playing Street Fighter 3rd Strike or whatever
How come fighting games, a genre I'm consistently terrible at, always have the best looking art
This game looks incredible, but I would never be able to play it
Where's my cool adventure game with this art style!
Does this make us best friends or mortal enemies
Or are we bortal frenemies

We don't talk about BoF6
the PSP version of 3 is on PSN, so if you have a PSP or Vita you can get it digitally there
Dragon Quarter is the only game in the series to only ever come out physically, on PS2.
