Does the add-on content for Soul Sacrifice carry over into Delta if it's installed or does the game come with it by default?

IV is amazing, even if the dragon system isn't quite as good as III.

Got the true ending to Lost Dimension and it was a good time. I mean, at that point, I could break the game over my knee, but so could anyone else who paid attention to how the game works. The story was fine enough and I liked the characters.

I won't fight your opinion, but as a game IV is good, even if it couldn't hold your interest. You may dislike it, but it in no way "blows", unless you mean "blow lesser games out of the water".

I would say that it blows compared to III, but this is like arguing what Final Fantasy games are good and bad.

Every Final Fantasy is the worst one.

Also, Dragon Quarter is objectively bad as a game, despite having some very neat and sometimes even interesting mechanics, and Breath of Fire 6... well...

Trap sprung! Dance, puppets!

But seriously, I wish they'd release it digitally, so I could give the game another shot. I loved the concept of Dragon Quarter, and I even looked past how everything was so drastically different from previous BoF games. It had a great atmosphere (for what it was), and yeah, the music was pretty good. However, Dragon Quarter seemed extremely experimental, and aspects of it were just so obscure. Having the story told so brokenly, with this idea that, more or less, being reincarnated into the world brings you more and new information, is a great idea on paper, but it was so clumsy in execution, especially with the "time limit". With no guides, I spent a lot of time worried about exploring too much, concerned I'd have to start over too soon. Also, reading up on it, I don't think anyone actually enjoyed PETS.

My biggest complaint is that, unlike previous games, the game didn't seem to want to invest me in this version of Ryu and Nina. I remember being somewhat intrigued by Lin, because clearly you're supposed to be, but in the end, these were characters initially driven by their mystery and not by their personalities. Looking back at BoF3, you start the game getting a feel for Ryu's panic, and within the first hour, Rei and Teepo are cool dudes that you wanna break into mansions with. An hour into Dragon Quarter, you barely know anything about anyone, and the driving force is "What the deal with Dragons this time?" as you stumble about a cave until you accidentally dragon dash too much.

2002-2003 was an interesting time for JRPGs, as people were trying out all sorts of new and interesting ideas, some sticking and some not so much. Dragon Quarter was right in the middle of the JRPG storm that brought us Suikoden 3, Kingdom Hearts, Unlimited Saga, Grandia Xtreme, and the original .hack 4-parter. Some of it was really good! Some of it was just okay. Some of it was bad and worth looking at as a "You know, we had some good ideas. Let's try that again differently next time." Dragon Quarter was that kind of game. They should make an HD version with some QoL improvements instead of this dumb BoF6 game they're releasing this year.

Proteus is the kind of game you play either on drugs, or as a replacement for meditation.

I'm glad that the Breath of Fire conflict was resolved peacefully.

We can all agree that Suikoden > BOF/FF so it's cool.

You can grab it on PSN sometime, since it's been as cheap as <$2. And since you have a Vita, you can take it with you!

BoF4 takes a while before the plot gets going and by gets going I mean proceeds to punch you in the gut over and over

Dragon Quarter is pretty much everything is terrible all the way through. It's also really loving hard and is basically a survival horror jrpg that constantly pressures you to move on through almost every mechanical facet. Which kinda fits the overall plot and setting I suppose

It's a game where you wander around a pretty island. That's pretty much it. I got bored of it inside twenty minutes. Thankfully, it was a PS+ title, otherwise I'd be asking for my money back.
