Wait a minute…
Breath of Fire 6
Online RPG
Smartphones/Tablets/PC
2014
… :(
While back, I heard that Capcom was going to announce more games centered around the mobile/online platform. What I didn’t think would ever happen is that Breath of Fire, a series that has been inactive for over 10 years, would be getting a numbered sequel as a smartphone game.
It’s disappointing to hear, given that mobile games are a much different environment with a different targeted audience. Creating the world of Breath of Fire on a smartphone device is not impossible to do, but one that will be different from what we’ve remembered from the past games.
But really, that’s all right. Capcom is a good judge of their franchises and they know what is best about where to put their priorities, even if it means going against its fandom! Right?
Right.
Though it would be unfair to not mention that Capcom does seem to have plans for Mega Man to return in some form in the future, and with Strider recently announced, who knows? I just know that me among several others are bummed about the fate of Breath of Fire, though I think I’d rather remember the fun moments I had with the series long ago.
