...I was going to go to sleep, and play this in the morning, but I'm an unapologetic insomniac. So, yeah.
The game opens with a pretty unmistakable frieze of the team from the first game fighting Myria/Maria/Tyr. Two miners - one of them named Mogu - find a baby dragon in a cave, while mining. It kills them. Poor miners.
This bit of the game is really quite gory, considering these are very clearly people, not monster, being killed. And considering you can pick up one of their melted swords from their dead bodies.
I'd forgotten the bit about a voice from the mine calling out to Ryu not to kill people.
Rei reminds me so much of Cray. Or vice versa, I suppose. Cray's more of a jock though - he's very much a leader, and capable of caring for himself. So's Rei, really, but he seems softer, kinder, more brittle, perhaps? I think because he goes from being the strong, protective, elder-brother figure to someone who's basically just tagging along and being super fast.
I suppose Teepo is like a baby Zog. He has more screentime than Zog, at least.
I wonder if Teepo came from the mine as well? The miners said they found those eggs sometimes, and Rei said he found him in the same way. You'd think the miners would have been more prepared, in that case.
The world of Breath of Fire was mostly prosperous, apart from the war. In II, there was more murder and greed, and people enjoyed violence. In III, people are all sad and starving and orphaned. They're essentially scavengers, particularly the mechanics. How sad, if III really is the latest game set within that world.
Plus, the Dragon Statues and St Eva's churches are long gone.
At this point in the game - that is, when you have Rei, Ryu, and Teepo - I generally level up a bit. I'd recommend stealing a couple of bent swords from the Goblins (like three) and some waistclothes from the Boss Goblins. Plus, healing herbs from the Eye Goos. A pointed stick or two wouldn't go amiss either. I used the defence formation, which helped Rei not to kill things before stealing their stuff.
I got Ryu to learn Burn from the Mage Goos, Influence from Boss Goblins, and Blind from Rippers. Teepo got Unmotivate, from the Goblins, just because. Also bought a fishing rod and some worms. Played through past the bit with Bunyan. I want to get to a bit where it will let me fish.
Oh hey, 4am and I have work in the morning. Joy.
