should've ported Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter to Steam instead

[Jon the Red]

if there's anything you like about Dragon's Dogma 2, you should check out Dragon Quarter, I think you'll like it...slightly different genre, but it does a lot of things that are similar (and better, in my opinion)

dragonsplague is a worse D-Counter, you could do not just a new game but even a new game plus at any time with the SOL System so you never ran much risk of missing anything or getting stuck, the doomsday atmosphere comes through with much greater clarity even despite this, you had more skill slots and interesting ways to find new skills...Save Tokens were kinda rough and I can see Capcom trying to add some way to let you buy more with real money, but Dragon Quarter was built deliberately around that, this game lacks deliberate design so much that it can't remember to put the "II" in the Dragon's Dogma II logo sometimes

Capcom may as well have just dusted off a different 10+-year-old game at this point, probably would've gotten less complaints that way

Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter?
I like the game, which I had completed twice back then on PS2, lol!

Seriously though, they are both very different games.

Nah, BoF 3 or 4 is a better option but if we porting, might as well hit us with a master collection and do 1 2 3 4 and 5 as a 1 off cause dq wasn't fun to me.

[Whoami]

nah champions of norrath was my wife's favorite game. port that and she will stay on the pc instead of ps5

Dream come true would be if they'd port a Breath of Fire collection to Steam. Grew up playing those games.

well, ideally, yes, we'd have BoF3 back and I can more easily show people to the greatest fishing minigame I have ever seen in an RPG, DQ is just the one with the most similar themes to DD2 and the better "metamorphosis into a dragon" cutscene

dragon quarter killed the group i would have done 3 or 4
for those who don't know the games your main guy has dragon blood and can turn into a dragon depending on game will determine if its a one shot attack for stay for the battle it was a fun system that you could use to your hearts content then dragon quarter came and said hey we know everyone loves to play with the dragon stuff so how about we make it so that if you use dragon abilities or just take longer than we want your gage goes up and hey bonus if you max it game over

idk, I remember this backlash when Dragon Quarter came out, but I never found the D-Counter that big a problem, it gives the game more of a Majora's Mask tempo only you are the moon

sure, you basically can't D-Dash anymore once the counter starts, but I was okay with the dragon abilities having an even greater cost than AP, it makes the mechanic feel more unique and adds great weight to the decision to pop off (though you're right insofar as I loved splicing dragon genes in BoF3 partly just to see what would come out)

and the game over wasn't that big a deal since you could load an earlier save, but keep your current item storage/party XP and have your D-Counter back down where it was before, so you could try that part of the game again and get through with less D this time (and sometimes see new events along the way)

the D-Counter was harsh because they wanted you to use the SOL System and you won't do that if you never find yourself SOL...it's kind of a bummer that it takes over Ryu's whole shtick like that, but Dragon Quarter is also arguably the most overpowered the dragon form has ever been, so they had to leash that freak somehow

Extrinsically motivated players' notion of what people would enjoy is just downright bizarre.

It's like you guys actually believe everyone would enjoy JRPGs if they actually gave it a fair chance.

Thinking people who bought a very action oriented 3rd person RPG would enjoy BoF better is honestly a strange notion.

Dragon quarter? No thanks. If a BoF game gets a remake or remaster then it should be Bof 4. There, take that! :P

[Princess]

Hell no, BoF DQ i finished in less than 4 hours. It was a pile of dung compared to any real BoF game

[mosspit]

Different crowds.

I honestly can't remember when I played BoFDQ. But it was quite difficult to get into. If I am not mistaken, it was one of those games that you can legitimately fail a playthrough by having the dragon ratio go up too high. Maybe, I can't remember.

I did remember achieving the best ending by having a low dragon ratio score, Had a blast. But seeing that ppl here is complaining about lack of quest markers, the game will infuriate the average gamer nowadays.
