Breath of Fire III: The Capcom JRPG Born From Chaos

Breath of Fire III: The Capcom JRPG Born From Chaos

Breath of Fire III is 28 years old, but its development history remains a textbook case study: Capcom switches platforms mid-production, improvises much of the design, and ships a JRPG that was meant to be the final act of a trilogy. The result is solid but played too safely to leave a lasting impression. What this story reveals about how JRPGs were made in the PlayStation era deserves closer examination.
