Breath of Fire 3

I was/am amazed to see this game (Breath of Fire 3) at a local game store last night. I didn't even realize it was being ported! But I don't feel that bad after reading it was released in Europe and Japan, but was rejected here in the US.

Blah.

So anyway, I was considering on picking this up and I actually was leaning towards waiting for a US release. But then I guess my consideration has been deeply altered, now that it would seem that the possibility of it coming to the US is next to never. And the version I seen was at least the UK version, so thankfully it is in English.

It took a while (that's bad huh?) to remember playing and enjoying this one many, many years ago. From what I can recall, it wasn't a bad RPG, maybe one of the few that didn't really feel as bad as those that came later for the PS2.

I think what I liked the most was the ability to combine stones to allow the main character to transform into various forms of a dragon. From what I can recall (doing a lot of recalling), while it wasn't the deepest system around, it helped me get hooked to the game.

And if nothing else, at least my other neglected PSP games will have a new friend to "hang out" with if I do end up buying this. I really need to do some hardcore game playing one of these years to catch up...

And I will stop here, before I recall too many things and end up driving myself crazy in the process. Soon, you may even see me writing "back in the day, many, many long years ago..."

Getting old sucks. Diapers, prunes, bad memory, eye sight, hearing and dentures that will always fall out, here I come!
