Was anybody else besides me traumatized when Myria would suddenly get pregnant and unleash umbilical cords from her stomach?! Great game though, brings back good memories.
I know right! I didn’t think much of it back on the day as a kid. Probably just thought it was wierd and cool but rewatching it just now. It’s very disturbing lol.
Ryu = 41 Momo = 35 Rei = 37 And the only reasons i'm underleveled are... 1. I want the boss battle to be harder... 2. I couldn't be bothered to grind for levels. :P
If this is considered to be underlevelled for this boss fight them oh boy am I in for a beating as Im going for Ryu 41, Rei 32, Peco 33 Also hello after 13 years XD
Easily one of the best games ever . Very balanced gameplay with a great story! Such a huge classic!!! The only bad thing was that damn ridle where you had to get water from a well.. I ve played Bf 2,which pissed me off and I hate it and 4 which was decent but nowhere near 3
+MeLexdy Tsk, balance is one thing this game REALLY does not have going for it. Nina's spell are garbage. Momo never gets her turn out in time to be a good healer. Peko hits like a baby no matter how much I try to pump him up. Ryu on the other hand is insanely overpowered but to his own detriment as he winds up having to carry the whole team because they're so incompetent. I give props for this game have a really unique story but cripes, it seems every time Capcom does something right, they have to screw up something else.
There was a skill that you can learn from the boss goblin. I don't remember the name of the move, but when Rei goes into Weretiger mode, you can have one characters perform that move from the boss goblin. So this way, Rei will not attack any of his party members.
I beat this game years ago and its still one of my all time favorites. I remember using Rei, Ryu and Nina with that triangle formation with Ryu in the front. Tramsformed into Controllable Kaiser, Rei into weretiger and gave the healing job + Influence to Nina. Kinda Breezed through it.
@SeanK1212 She does alot of viscous attacks that if unprepared and not over stat/lvled you'll be in the fight of your life (like I was first time around). They include: Sanctuary and Venom. Sanctuary you just gotta be on the lucky side that she doesn't non-stop chain it. Venom can be repelled by certain status saving uhm...amulets? Gems? Accessories? My god its been so long since I've played, I forgot what that slot is called lol. Just remember that my first save against her was hell too!
@DreamMorpheus42 Because i just kinda went with whatever for masters in this playthrough. If i was smart, i would have pumped up Momo's attack and given her Shadowwalk which makes her massive attack actually worth it, as Shadowwalk can't miss ever. And used someone else for support. Then again, i like playing without any special plans. Makes it more fun personally.
@kingofbudokai I generally just apprenticed under whoever. I know how to abuse the masters in this game but i usually choose not to. Also the true "tank" of the game is Peco apprenticed under Fahl(+4 HP, +1 PWR, +3 DEF, -3 INT, -3 AGL) all the way from level 1. (Highest HP in the game, 50% counter rate, percentage based HP regen)
That really depends on how many times they stack. I mean look at the Shin Megami Tensei games. The main series has stacking buffs and debuffs... but they're anything but easy.
@smashbrolink I started with 3 myself. The storyline from the previous games do not influence the understanding of BoF3's Storyline. They're fairly independent to the extent that they seem to be set in different universes (or as gameplay shows, timelines), just like the FInal Fantasy series. The only thing that they have in common is having a blue-haired Dragon character named Ryu and a Wing clan princess Nina.
@FroslassandGallade Everyone has their own ways to play games. Or, in this case, their own chosen characters, and ways to build them. I tend to just go use whatever characters i feel like using. And, yes, i do tend to build Ryu around dragon forms, but there's nothing wrong with building him as a healer.
I got lost in the desert for about 70 hours....by the time I figured out east wasn't west all of my characters were 90+. Let's just say I steamrolled everything else lol...
@bof3nerd shadowwalk can be learned from meryleep the faerie master. and aura can be learned from ladon the dragon master. or you can use most warrior type transformations and get the move automatically.
Rei: Weapon: Holy Avenger Shield: SpikedGntlts Helm: UV Glasses Armor: Force Armor Accessory 1: Speed Boots Accessory 2: Light Bangle I didn't really pay too much attention to my equipments.
Okay I looked it up. She ALSO won't use the Breath of Fire series' version of Grand Cross, "Venom", if you don't talk to the person. Anyway, Myria is found in Orbital Station Myria. Don't talk to the 4th woman here, and Myria won't use either Venom or Holocaust. I hope this helps.
Hehheh. Yeah you can use the Data to select forms you've recently used. I tend to just do the combo myself since that way i can be sure i took the right one. :P
haha I love how you're correcting people^^ But you're absolutly right, 1 thing though.. why the hell is Kaiser supposed to be the strongest dragon? I mean sure, it has the strongest breath attack, but apart from that - warrior or Myrmidon(
Epic boss battle, and Myria is a great character in her own right. I see her as somewhat of a Demiurge, not a malevolent god, necessarily, but a deeply flawed and egocentric one.
@krzyxbne Momo is worth using yes. If nothing else she's good at support. And if you want to make her into a damage dealer you should give her Shadowwalk, as Momo has a really high base damage but low accuracy. (Shadowwalk never misses.)
@Butternutz7 That's how it is, but if you had read the million other comments saying about the same thing, you would know that i don't really care about the "best" ways to beat bosses. (Unless the boss is a Cheating Bastard or That One Boss.) Besides, what would be the point of every single video of beating a certain boss in a game be the "ideal" way to beat it?
I haven't played BoF 3, but having played 1 and 2, I expected to see more dragons during the final fight. And I agree with PrismMage...you might as well have had Ryu solo the fight.
Black and white is usually a problem in the TV or the TV Cable and the game version. For example if you play an NTSC game on a 50Hz European TV and a normal SCART cable the game will be black & white.
@Cyril86 It's a style thing. It's like compairing an oil painting with a clay sculpture. I personally preferr good sprite work above 3d graphics in a way for the amount of personal touch that goes into every pixel. It's like hand drawn cartoons vs Pixar stuff. The Pixar stuff has lost it's novelty.. This series needs a remake so badly. Next gen console version with HD sprites and a TONN of extra gameplay!
And last, one small tip: You can get 100% immunity to all elemental attacks (flame, frost etc.), as well as to psionics, status changes and death attacks. To achieve that, equip two Ivory Charms. You will also regenerate HP while walking and in battle.
@duskcloud0032 because the warrior form is vastly weaker than the kaiser form. with a standard attack the kaiser forms attack with just the radiance gene exceeds the damage of aura.
Just one more tip, it could be very useful (sorry for being so boring...) To max your Int. stat to 999, (say that you have all 20 faeries in faerie village) set 15 faeries in faerie village to gift shop, and remaining 5 with best hunting ability to hunt for food. Leave f. village and go into random battles. Have 7 battles (no more no less). You don't need to fight, you can escape if you like, but you must enter 7 battles. Go back to f. village and collect your presents -- Fish Head!
There is still another trick as one coaches Ryu's values best of all. Open everywhere gift stores in the fairy village and procure for you the skills Steal and Charm from D´Lonzo. After thirty fights you will get LifeShards. After fourthy fights you will get MagicShards. titan goo´s and ice toads contain LiveShards and in the teleportstation A there are undead monsters with capes (I don´t know the english name of that guys), they contain MagicShards.
@Cyril86 wow, that is some beast agility with rei, but I'm still shocked that you survived with that low of health. who were you apprenticed under? personally I always disliked momo, I prefered to use garr, 'the tank' of the game (under bunyan he has massive attack/defense) my lowest level when I fought her was 40.
in Easter windia area in a forest (just look around its not difficult to find)... go there bring pico with u and enter the forest. There should be a pond and u need to kick the rock in to the middle of the pond.. i do believe its after 4-5levels she teaches to u...^_^!!
That is so true, from the tragic beginning with Teepo and Rei only to reunite with them later and uncover the Goddess's plan, it's just amazing. But the sad thing is, before I lost my copy, I got up to Myria and I could never beat her =/
took me 7 years of on and off trying to get the damn sword. best tip i can give, and only if your willing to risk death, is where Teepo was, you have a chance of finding 5 goo kings at once in there. may not be good chances, but you can beat more than one of them at a time you can improve on getting it that way.
for some reason Myria has me thinking that she's a reference to Lilith from the bible, she has mostly status inflicting abilities (Lilith brought illness to children and Myria's children is everyone in the world since shes the goddess) and she has something to do with Eden in the game and she kind of has a resemblance of a serpent. i'm guessing thats what gave them the idea of Myria.
Myria is a joke if you save up a bunch of items throughout the game. I also think the Warrior accession with Aura is better... hit like 2500s with it. I normally buffed up Ryu with might and ginseng, then had him use an hourglass and just have at it. Wisdom Fruits on Ryu frequently because Aura is a lot of AP (20). But I had Myria killed in just a few short rounds.
how come this game is so under rated?? i loved it, the story and game play was brilliant!! it was my fav rpg ever and actually made me cry (sad) but yeh at the end.
Well lol.. Ok let's try and break this down. Myria and Bleu (Deis) were both in BoF 1. Myria was dead or 'not revived yet' in BoF2 and Bleu was already about what 600 or 800? I forget what the game says..similar to Garr. BoF II was 500 years after BoF I , that's all I know..let's assume 600. BoF III takes place much later than II, at least triple the time ironically. So yah to break it down their both like over 2,000 YO (but not 9,000! - we learned not to insult Deis!)
Ah ok, its called "Drachen Gott" in the German version which translates as Dragon God. BTW. was the english translation as mutilated as the german one? In the german version, monster's and ability names all had weird abbreviations as the japanese kanji needed less space than german words. I. E. Bonebreaker looked like this (if I translated) Bnebrkr: Onl. use in spec. tim
She might be harder to you this time since Ryu's strongest attack appears to be bonebreak (or Shadowwalk as backup). She'd be even more harder if she pulled of holocaust on you. Also, she strangely chants the spells as they take place. And Vodka Shot??? That is not the Japanese version, and where can I find that (the item)?
i'm annoyed on the dragon gene i got three left to find where do you find the one that looks like a sword (sorry dont know the gene's names) and can you get the kid ryu genes when your an adult?
damn dude , it took you so damn long to figure out what you were going to do, it normally takes me about 4 5 minutes to kill this boss. thats the plus of having a plan when you go into the battle.
Wow, I've never dealed so much damage to Myria. I used Mammoth's Meteor Strike (5000+)and she was down after 4 turns. With Super Combo like that, she could be down in only 3 turns! On PSone, I've never done more than 10hit combo... I guess you're pretty fast, eh? Greets...
The Chain Formation he's using gives everyone the speed of the point character, in this case Rei's speed. But it also lowers everyone's defense by 50% resulting in much more dmg than usual.
i remember getting stuck on sunder and other horse guy when i was a kid so i stopped playing the game until i got it on my psp like 7 yrs later lol. they were so easy this time around. and yeah awesome game. one of my favorites
Hey, are you using emulator like epsxe v. 1.6.0? It's realy hard to obtain this games here in US cause psx are sadly obsolite that's why im playing it right now with this.But its realy brutal thing if you can save anywhere in the game pressing F1 and loading it with F3.F2 to select a slot where you can load or save.
I have both "Breath of Fire I" and "Breath of Fire II". I think they should remake the games suitable for the leading systems (PS3, Wii, X-Box 360, PSP, and the DS or the 3DS). But at the same time, make it into a trilogy game like "Metroid Prime Trilogy" where all 5 games are on each copy.
hey gus tell me if i chose the right masters for each characters. Ryu= lvl 10 to 22 bunyan lvl 22 and more Deis Nina= 10 to 20 mygas 20 and more = emitai Garr= 10 to 20 fahl 20 and more is bunyan Rei= Meryleep Momo= i really dont know peco= Yggdrasil
"holocaust had a pretty disgusting animation sequence" "now that i think about it, myria's normal atk move is already pretty revolting" I just watched a vid that had her cast Holocaust. My first thoughts "AUGH WHAT THE HELL, MAN!?"
I haven't played this for probably 15 years. I remember her using sanctuary a lot and then at about 50% health she'd use Holocaust. Is there some trick to avoid her casting those two spells?
Please tell me why whenever i ascend to kaiser, i can't control my ryu and he just goes ham on my party? He keeps fucking oneshotting everyone for 1k damage until my AP runs out with him and he reverts back to normal .. Also hate this fucking bossfight.. i keep seeing videos where she never uses venom and sanctuary, but whenever i buff once, she keeps spamming it.
+lawlestest You get an uncontrollable Kaiser unless you use the gene combinations Infinity + Failure(creates a weaker, but controllable, Kaiser) or Infinity + Trance + Radiance (expensive but creates a controllable Kaiser).
I see.. I did that and now i keep wiping when she does venom and the other 2 die.. even though Ryu is still up and full health. Why's that? it's happened twice now, i cba to sit through that eternal dialogue again.
I trained my Ryu to have much AP, only masters of magic (with the exception of D'Lonzo, to learn skill Steal, my other masters were Emitai and Giotto). I could transform into ANY dragon long, although he prefers transformations in Dragon Force(HP balanced, great attack and skill Focus). And the battle formation was the Chain Formation, with Rei in the group. Whenever we attacked first and all had extra turns.
I used to just keep going until everyone but Ryu died and then went Kaiser. I'm not sure how you did it, but my Kaiser always uncontrollable and owned my buddies when they were alive.
I use to play the hell out of this game back in like 98, 99 but since my brother has the game still on the other side of the country, i found a sweet thing called an iso and an emulator.
This actually looks.......sorta fun. I never really bothered with the Breath of Fire series before. Never been a fan of traditional Turn-Based RPG's due to the slow combat speed, with the exception of games like Golden Sun. Would anyone recommend I start with 3? Or should I start at BoF1 and work my way through them for the sake of the storyline?
This game is one of the prime reasons why 2D sprites will always hold a special place in my heart. I mean, just LOOK at Myria. Look how fucking awesome she looks. Now imagine if they'd rendered her in 3D, using the best the PS1 was capable of. They would've ruined her.
I used transformed Rei with the spotting command (the command the enemies have at the beginning of the game) so he always attack Myria, transform into a god something with Ryu, 2Xstr+Aura (something like that), 2000+dmg (but yeah 20ap instead of 6+6 for the same dmg). She was hard when you doesn't have the level.
I don't really remember but I do remember that it was at the most at level 50. I always get too lazy to go beyond that because monsters become too weak to level me up fast. =P
What do you mean never user ladon with Ryu? If you have Ryu apprenticed with Giotto for a fair amount of time, he will have TONS of hp and ap, and afterwards w/ Ladon he will have sickeningly powerful attacks. I don't think I've ever spent more than 5 minutes on Myria. Actually, for that matter, I gotta ask what masters you had Rei under for him to have such piss poor agility and hp. (Rei should be faster than TK Ryu, even if it's just slightly, and have >200 hp as well).
That's in no way proof of being able to beat Sunder and Balio. Oh you want to know the reason why Teepo is in it? That happens to be a very early preview video. :P
Yeah, me too... I remember I died 28 times when first beating Berseker. For ArchMage I think I used warrior, then Focus and Aura... Pretty tough opponents.
i want this game remastered!!!!!!!!
me too
please don't they're gonna ruin it
Im ok with remastered not remake
No remake or remastering, just play the original. bof 3 is beautiful and among the very best jrpg's ever.
Of the whole series.
Was anybody else besides me traumatized when Myria would suddenly get pregnant and unleash umbilical cords from her stomach?! Great game though, brings back good memories.
Too bad BOF4 isnt connected. It sort of ties into what Yuna does to Elina Windia.
Yeah, bring back nightmares after seeing that and her face turned spooky too.
Hahahhaha u made my day! 🤣
I know right! I didn’t think much of it back on the day as a kid. Probably just thought it was wierd and cool but rewatching it just now. It’s very disturbing lol.
@@aznaishah "MY WOMB IS YOUR HOME, CHILD!"

Easily one of the best games ever . Very balanced gameplay with a great story!
Such a huge classic!!! The only bad thing was that damn ridle where you had to get water from a well..

Lord Hawkeye
There is a way to build each character to kick ass. There is a guide out there.
Some character are better for early game situations.
+Lord Hawkeye Downside to Ryu is he does not have a lot of AP to keep Kaiser that long.
BF4 is more balanced. Ershin is the only useless character.
There was a skill that you can learn from the boss goblin. I don't remember the name of the move, but when Rei goes into Weretiger mode, you can have one characters perform that move from the boss goblin. So this way, Rei will not attack any of his party members.

I was so happy when I figured it out

@schattenphoenix
I prefer warrior too, or rather the buff up dragon form of him. He gets a move that buffs his attack by 400%.
@aznalucardboi That's basically what I said... I mean NOT using Bonebreak in Kaiser form is a mistake.
Hmm...I had forgotten how cool this game looked. I might need to go back and play it, if I can track a copy down.
@duskcloud0032 at level 44 using just the radiance gene he does 3000+ with his sword. and if you use 'influence' you can control it.
@Ikeban Garr is not here simply because he's my least favorite playable character in the game. (And because he's such a one-trick pony.)

@Cyril86 on that note; look up "dot art king of fighters XII"
they used 3D to make better 2D graphics
Its called Influence on my version of the game (PAL)
@Cyril86 wow, that is some beast agility with rei, but I'm still shocked that you survived with that low of health. who were you apprenticed under? personally I always disliked momo, I prefered to use garr, 'the tank' of the game (under bunyan he has massive attack/defense) my lowest level when I fought her was 40.
13 years later and if you want a 'tank' that has stupidly high attack power, you should always go with Peco under the right masters.
Game breaking.
I remember playing this like ten years ago. I really liked this game!

But the sad thing is, before I lost my copy, I got up to Myria and I could never beat her =/
Didn't you eat archmages? 😮
+Tory Hammond I found that disgusting too, and what creeped me out personally was when she melts her face to do one of her lightning attacks.
took me 7 years of on and off trying to get the damn sword. best tip i can give, and only if your willing to risk death, is where Teepo was, you have a chance of finding 5 goo kings at once in there. may not be good chances, but you can beat more than one of them at a time you can improve on getting it that way.
for some reason Myria has me thinking that she's a reference to Lilith from the bible, she has mostly status inflicting abilities (Lilith brought illness to children and Myria's children is everyone in the world since shes the goddess) and she has something to do with Eden in the game and she kind of has a resemblance of a serpent. i'm guessing thats what gave them the idea of Myria.
I have a good enough PC.
And i set down some graphics settings.
It also helps to play at 640x480 full-screen. :P
Myria is a joke if you save up a bunch of items throughout the game. I also think the Warrior accession with Aura is better... hit like 2500s with it. I normally buffed up Ryu with might and ginseng, then had him use an hourglass and just have at it. Wisdom Fruits on Ryu frequently because Aura is a lot of AP (20). But I had Myria killed in just a few short rounds.
@Cyril86 I used rei and garr. garr may not be versatile, but training under Bunyan he's a beast!
how come this game is so under rated?? i loved it, the story and game play was brilliant!! it was my fav rpg ever and actually made me cry (sad) but yeh at the end.
@Abfallbeseitiger unless u've played this or done it urself. thats like saying ur deaf but u can still hear people.
Well lol..
Ok let's try and break this down. Myria and Bleu (Deis) were both in BoF 1. Myria was dead or 'not revived yet' in BoF2 and Bleu was already about what 600 or 800? I forget what the game says..similar to Garr. BoF II was 500 years after BoF I , that's all I know..let's assume 600. BoF III takes place much later than II, at least triple the time ironically.
So yah to break it down their both like over 2,000 YO (but not 9,000! - we learned not to insult Deis!)
Ah ok, its called "Drachen Gott" in the German version which translates as Dragon God. BTW. was the english translation as mutilated as the german one? In the german version, monster's and ability names all had weird abbreviations as the japanese kanji needed less space than german words. I. E. Bonebreaker looked like this (if I translated) Bnebrkr: Onl. use in spec. tim
She might be harder to you this time since Ryu's strongest attack appears to be bonebreak (or Shadowwalk as backup). She'd be even more harder if she pulled of holocaust on you.
Also, she strangely chants the spells as they take place.
And Vodka Shot??? That is not the Japanese version, and where can I find that (the item)?
i'm annoyed on the dragon gene i got three left to find where do you find the one that looks like a sword (sorry dont know the gene's names) and can you get the kid ryu genes when your an adult?
She was always weak, ever since the first time I finished. You did a great job, nice vid.
Ryu is level 41, Momo level 35, and Rei level 37 so yeah.
damn dude , it took you so damn long to figure out what you were going to do, it normally takes me about 4 5 minutes to kill this boss. thats the plus of having a plan when you go into the battle.
Cool! How are you able to manage to control the weretiger without influence by using balance ring or something?
Oh? I wasn't aware of that. :S
I should have talked to that person then.
Wow, I've never dealed so much damage to Myria. I used Mammoth's Meteor Strike (5000+)and she was down after 4 turns. With Super Combo like that, she could be down in only 3 turns! On PSone, I've never done more than 10hit combo... I guess you're pretty fast, eh? Greets...
The Chain Formation he's using gives everyone the speed of the point character, in this case Rei's speed. But it also lowers everyone's defense by 50% resulting in much more dmg than usual.
i remember getting stuck on sunder and other horse guy when i was a kid so i stopped playing the game until i got it on my psp like 7 yrs later lol. they were so easy this time around. and yeah awesome game. one of my favorites
Hey, are you using emulator like epsxe v. 1.6.0? It's realy hard to obtain this games here in US cause psx are sadly obsolite that's why im playing it right now with this.But its realy brutal thing if you can save anywhere in the game pressing F1 and loading it with F3.F2 to select a slot where you can load or save.
I have both "Breath of Fire I" and "Breath of Fire II". I think they should remake the games suitable for the leading systems (PS3, Wii, X-Box 360, PSP, and the DS or the 3DS). But at the same time, make it into a trilogy game like "Metroid Prime Trilogy" where all 5 games are on each copy.
hey gus tell me if i chose the right masters for each characters.
Ryu= lvl 10 to 22 bunyan lvl 22 and more Deis
Nina= 10 to 20 mygas 20 and more = emitai
Garr= 10 to 20 fahl 20 and more is bunyan
Rei= Meryleep
Momo= i really dont know
peco= Yggdrasil
nice to see you using speed formation.. but where is peco? he is imba!!
"holocaust had a pretty disgusting animation sequence" "now that i think about it, myria's normal atk move is already pretty revolting"
I just watched a vid that had her cast Holocaust. My first thoughts "AUGH WHAT THE HELL, MAN!?"
I most likely will keep going.
Not sure which will i do next though.
@dannielsqualleonhart Um...no. He played the game the way he likes to.
I haven't played this for probably 15 years. I remember her using sanctuary a lot and then at about 50% health she'd use Holocaust.
Is there some trick to avoid her casting those two spells?
Do you know the Item: "THE MOCHI"?? It says it cures petrification. What does it mean???
Please tell me why whenever i ascend to kaiser, i can't control my ryu and he just goes ham on my party? He keeps fucking oneshotting everyone for 1k damage until my AP runs out with him and he reverts back to normal ..
Also hate this fucking bossfight.. i keep seeing videos where she never uses venom and sanctuary, but whenever i buff once, she keeps spamming it.
+lawlestest You get an uncontrollable Kaiser unless you use the gene combinations Infinity + Failure(creates a weaker, but controllable, Kaiser) or Infinity + Trance + Radiance (expensive but creates a controllable Kaiser).
I see.. I did that and now i keep wiping when she does venom and the other 2 die.. even though Ryu is still up and full health. Why's that? it's happened twice now, i cba to sit through that eternal dialogue again.
Couldn't beat it, even with those genes.. too hard. she just kept spamming sanctuary and that spell where she confuses the entire party.
Dude, try to exp first, if you're not around lvl 45 with all your team.
lawlestest. that cool
I already replied to that comment.
And no that's no proof.
Since the video poster himself said that the game is hacked through emulation.
loved this game but could never get passed the desert bit. couldnt find that town
I trained my Ryu to have much AP, only masters of magic (with the exception of D'Lonzo, to learn skill Steal, my other masters were Emitai and Giotto). I could transform into ANY dragon long, although he prefers transformations in Dragon Force(HP balanced, great attack and skill Focus). And the battle formation was the Chain Formation, with Rei in the group. Whenever we attacked first and all had extra turns.
I used Giotto alot.
His bonuses are...
HP +4
AP +3
Power -1
Defense -1
Agility -1
Intelligence -2
I used to just keep going until everyone but Ryu died and then went Kaiser. I'm not sure how you did it, but my Kaiser always uncontrollable and owned my buddies when they were alive.
That's a hacked game you know...
The video poster says so in the description too.
I use to play the hell out of this game back in like 98, 99 but since my brother has the game still on the other side of the country, i found a sweet thing called an iso and an emulator.
This actually looks.......sorta fun.
I never really bothered with the Breath of Fire series before. Never been a fan of traditional Turn-Based RPG's due to the slow combat speed, with the exception of games like Golden Sun.
Would anyone recommend I start with 3?
Or should I start at BoF1 and work my way through them for the sake of the storyline?
This game is one of the prime reasons why 2D sprites will always hold a special place in my heart. I mean, just LOOK at Myria. Look how fucking awesome she looks. Now imagine if they'd rendered her in 3D, using the best the PS1 was capable of. They would've ruined her.
@jimmyjigz I just didn't use him during this playthrough.
I used transformed Rei with the spotting command (the command the enemies have at the beginning of the game) so he always attack Myria, transform into a god something with Ryu, 2Xstr+Aura (something like that), 2000+dmg (but yeah 20ap instead of 6+6 for the same dmg). She was hard when you doesn't have the level.
Actually, by the time you get the HP form. Eye
Goos do 0 or Miss damage.
I see you know the secret gene combo for Ultimate Kaiser. Good job.
SPAM means literally "Stupid Pointless Annoying Messages" :P
Or in a game it means spamming the same moves over and over.
I don't really remember but I do remember that it was at the most at level 50. I always get too lazy to go beyond that because monsters become too weak to level me up fast. =P
What do you mean never user ladon with Ryu? If you have Ryu apprenticed with Giotto for a fair amount of time, he will have TONS of hp and ap, and afterwards w/ Ladon he will have sickeningly powerful attacks. I don't think I've ever spent more than 5 minutes on Myria. Actually, for that matter, I gotta ask what masters you had Rei under for him to have such piss poor agility and hp. (Rei should be faster than TK Ryu, even if it's just slightly, and have >200 hp as well).
You could've selected your form from "Data" all this time? Or did I misunderstand? :P
But man is that final boss theme BITCHIN'!
That's in no way proof of being able to beat Sunder and Balio.
Oh you want to know the reason why Teepo is in it?
That happens to be a very early preview video. :P
Ah, the memories...Now I have this urge to yank out my PS2 and restart all over cuz I miss the storyline.
i usually go 4 the defence first if i have momo if i use nina i let ryu use a lot of shields and nina gets to try slowing her down like blunts...
use might about 5 times, then full kaiser, focus and aura and there you have it about 2 strikes with that and goodbye myria
Learn Aura for Ryu and then get him to use it as Kaiser. Get his power up to and he'll pwn.
Yeah, me too... I remember I died 28 times when first beating Berseker. For ArchMage I think I used warrior, then Focus and Aura... Pretty tough opponents.
@Cyril86 that makes sense. I may have to ditch nina for her then.
But you can keep playing game after you finish the game and build yourself up! When I first battled Myria, I was so whiped out!
