Breath of Fire 3 was the first JRPG I ever played so it's always had a special place in my heart. It must be 25 years since I first played this but i still remember every detail, tactic and dragon gene location like it was yesterday. With the PSP store now closed there is now nowhere to legally buy this game and that is a shame that should be rectified. The game did receive a PC release in China so bringing it to PC again is not an impossible task, just a difficult one! I have faith that you are the ones to do this.

What I loved most about it was the story and the characters—especially Ryu, the main character who could turn into a dragon. That blew my mind as a kid! The bond between the characters and the way the story unfolded felt deep and emotional. Even though I was young, I felt connected to their journey.

One of my favorite BOF series, it was back when I got bored of the game that I have played and found this game in the magazine. The story makes me very curious and it looks very interesting as well that I was looking for it like crazy(when I found this game it was IV already and it takes forever for me to actually find the original copy of the game '---super happy and super satisfied when I finished the game) I really love the design of Ryu, and also the system that you can transform into different dragon with different gen combine together, and the music is so great that I still have the ost in my steam xd I really really hope that in the future I will be able to see this game in my collection at my PC or my switch again Please make this happened and I will be jumpinh up and down like a kid once again xD

Breath of Fire III was my first JRPG, long before I knew what JRPG even was. It is such a vibrant game that fills you with emotion with every chance it gets, from the characters to the story to the places to the gosh darn jazzy funky epic music. It is one of my favourite games, not because it is perfect, but because it is so full of life - action, melancholy, charm, tiny silly things, epic things - it's all there.

Greatest game ever made. Played through it alongside friends when I was a kid and enjoyed catching up on what we had done and how our parties were progressing the next morning. Been playing it over and over ever since. Fast forward 25 years and I'm covered in BoF3 tattoos.

I was happy to see that BoF 4 has made it to the PC, but I remember that 3 was the really magic one for me. It was perhaps the 3rd or 4th JRPG I played, and I felt the way it followed Ryu through his early life was really engaging.

Black & White 2
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.

Fable: The Lost Chapters
Fable: The Lost ChaptersFable was expanded and rereleased as Fable: The Lost Chapters for Xbox and Windows PC platforms in September 2005. The game was later ported to Mac OS X by Robosoft Technologies and published by Feral Interactive on 31 March 2008. The Lost Chapters features all the content found in the original Fable, as well as additional new content such as new monsters, weapons, alignment based spells, items, armour, towns, buildings, and expressions, as well as the ability to give children objects. The story receives further augmentation in the form of nine new areas and sixteen additional quests. Characters such as Briar Rose and Scythe, who played only minor roles in the original game, are now given more importance and are included in certain main and side quests. Other character-based augmentations include the voice of the antagonist, Jack of Blades, sounding deeper, harsher and more demonic, and the ability to uncover (and resolve) the murder mystery of Lady Grey's sister. The updated edition of the game also applied fixes for certain glitches, such as the "dig glitch," in which the protagonist would move backward each time he used the shovel, pushing him through solid objects and sometimes trapping him.
