About Breath of Fire

Breath of Fire is Capcom's dragon blooded RPG series, running from the 1993 Super Nintendo original through Breath of Fire II, III and IV to the reinvented Dragon Quarter in 2002, closing with the Japan only mobile entry VI in 2016. Every game centers Ryu and Nina in a new world with the dragon transformation system.

Play in release order. Each entry reboots the world, so the order is about watching the systems evolve rather than following a plot: the dragon gene splicing of III, the combo magic of IV and the D Ratio pressure of Dragon Quarter each assume series literacy. Start with III if the early Super Nintendo entries feel too raw.

Good to know

Breath of Fire VI released only in Japan and Asia on mobile before shutting down, so most players end the series at Dragon Quarter. The series is dormant with no new entry announced, and the originals survive through ports and emulation. III is the consensus entry point, but the list below keeps release order for the full run.
