 Lovein It July 12, 2007
I love this game. Changing into dragons is awesome and some of the characters are to die for (Like Rei and Ryu). The story really pulls you into the character and even the graphics aren't that bad. they're better than most PS one games ^_^ I suggest getting your hands on it if you like classic playstation games.
Still a great RPG August 16, 2005

This game is still a great RPG game even though it was released in the late 90s ('98?). I'm a seasoned RPG enthusiast, but I never had a chance to play any of the BOF series so I decided to order this game on amazon about a month ago. So far, I've played over 50 hours of this game (I think I'm almost finished!) and I can say that this game is as good (if not, better) than some of the BEST RPGs that ever existed, Final Fantasy and Zelda series included.
Stuff that I really like about this game:
* Story seems mysterious enough to keep your attention to what's gonna happen next. It's about Ryu, the dragon boy and a mission to find out how/why he became a dragon and where he's from.
* Very interesting characters you'll meet like Rei, Ryu's partner who can transform himself into a tiger. There's also Nina who was a kidnapped princess who ended up travelling with Ryu. There's Garr, a monster-bull looking thing that was supposed to hate Ryu's race, but ended up befriending Ryu. And there's also Peco, a mutated vegetable-looking thing that ended up with the gang.
* Fairy village that you can "customize" that will sell you items/weapons and/or build your village by giving jobs to fairies, and you can even allocate a fairy to find items for you. With your good (or bad) management, fairies can be born or die...
* Lots of little "minigames", puzzles, or mini-strategy quests that move the game along and keep it from getting boring. For example, you have to find items to create a dish to feed a mayor of a town (don't ask!), or you have to control a crane and move boxes around to create a bridge to proceed to the next door, or pull a box with another person rhythmically to find an "item" awashed on the shore, etc.
* you can learn monsters spells/skills through the "examine" feature while fighting them. It's a great addition, especially if you want to learn a very good skill that some monsters use. Not all skills can be learned, though.
* you can find different types of people that can enhance your stats/skills by going under their apprenticeship. For example, one of them can help you gain more power or defense, while another may make you more intelligent, etc.
So far, I have no complaints except for the "desert quest" that seemed to go on and on and on...you get the point. But, like anything, it requires strategy and it's not as hard as some people think it is once you find out that there is an easier way to finish it.
Overrall, this game exceeds my expectation for a very good RPG game. It's hard enough that it will keep you thinking of ways to proceed to the next level, but not too hard that it'll make you just quit it.
Great game! August 19, 2004
First, I'd like to start out by saying, this is one of the best games I have ever played! Second, don't listen to anyone that gave this game 1 or 2 stars, because this game isn't as low as to get a poor rating. The main character, Ryu, is one of the dragons. The dragons, can take on a human-like appearance, but a little different (Example: Ryu from BOF 1 had fangs). The plot starts when Ryu is looking for 2 of his friends, who all got separated due to an accident. But later, the plot completely turns around and blocks off the 2 friends. But anyway, this game is REALLY FUN!!! The battle system is turn-based, and you can learn certain abilitis from enimies by using the "Examine" command. There are a total of 6 party memebers, and there only one thing I hate about this game. I like it when you can access to all of your party members in the menu, and that they all would get experience points (Like BOF 4). But I HIGHLY recdomend this game, and trust me, you won't regret buying it.

I really like to play this game. This game was fun for me and is interesting. I would normally play it but I cant play it no more because me dog broke it and I cannot buy it in any store and sometimes if i do it on ebay, i get jipped, and at most sites its always out of stock
A fun game January 6, 2004
This game was a refreshing change from the normal RPGs I had been playing when I got it. It's been a few years since I bought the game, but it's still fun to play. There were a few things about the game that I didn't like, but they were nothing that would keep me from playing it.I enjoyed the battles. Some enemies had abilities you could learn by having your characters watch them until they used it, this was a good way to get a few abilities for characters that can't learn decent ones on their own. Some of the enemies were interesting, and as the story progresses you get to see Ryu grow from a kid into a man. When you begin the game, he covers his eyes and flails his sword when he attacks. Later on, he has become comfortable enough with fighting that he stops hiding when he attacks, and when he's grown up, he just looks cool doing it. The only things that detracted from my enjoyment of the game were hardware issues and a scratched disc. Granted I had to start over once because I killed off all the fairies in the fairy village, but that was an accident. . .
