Role playing games come and go, but few stay as relevant talking points like theBreath of Fireseries has. Recently, in an interview with developer Camelot Software Planning’s Takashi brothers, it was revealed that a newBreath of Firetitle is something that they are considering.
…It is possible to start planning for titles such as the Breath of Fire series. As I mentioned earlier, the number of games we can develop at a time is quite limited so we would like to consider what people want the most in order to determine the next title for development.
According to the Takashi brothers, the only reason why Camelot was unable to pursue the possibility of a newBreath of Firegame was because of the loss of critical team members during theMario Tennis: Power Tourcrisis of 2005. Since then, the team has been rebuilt, thus making retro RPG enthusiasts excited all over again.
If every RPG developer or publisher thought like this, I would already be playing a localized version ofMother 3, or wandering through the vast deserts ofTecmo: Secret of the Stars 2. Barring another Mario sports game, I wonder if Camelot would consider bringing aBreath of Firetitle to a console. Fully realized 3D fairy queens? I’m in.
