Its success, or lack thereof, matches other JRPG franchise efforts to jump into the world of online gaming. The game received horrible reception, and one year after its 2016 launch, its servers were shut down. The title was an online action RPG and was even more drastically different from the other games than Dragon Quarter and not nearly as well regarded. Then there's the reception to Breath of Fire 6, which many saw as a half-hearted effort at reviving the franchise.

Final Fantasy VII Remake, for instance, is notably different from the original game, which itself was a break from the norm set by other Final Fantasy games. Being different from the stereotypical and cliche JRPGs of the past has been part of the success of the current crop of JRPG stars. The first two games in particular are seen as staples of the SNES era, but the series didn't evolve in the same way that Final Fantasy did. On top of all of this, Breath of Fire is something of a more classic-style RPG series. Thus, many of their franchises have languished in obscurity, and in the case of Breath of Fire, the fact that the property doesn't even show up in the company's many Vs. For one, Capcom has been known to focus primarily on one franchise at a time (namely Street Fighter and Resident Evil) at the expense of all other intellectual properties. The reason for a lack of new Breath of Fire titles is multilayered. RELATED: Is Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin's Main Character ? Why Hasn't There Been a New Breath of Fire? Unfortunately, this PS2 title was the last time that the series would have any sort of notoriety, a fact which still hasn't changed. Whereas other series such as Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest and Shin Megami Tensei have titles that are typically unrelated to each other, the Breath of Fire series all carries over concepts and elements such as beastmen and the protagonist Ryu. The fifth game, Dragon Quarter, was both incredibly well-received yet also divisive among some fans due to its drastic differences from previous titles.
The series would receive four more sequels afterward, with the most recent coming out in 2016. Outside of issues like high enemy encounters and simplistic mechanics, the game was well-received, with its sequel being even more beloved. On a quest to find his sister, he allies himself with other warriors and fights a group of evil dragon people. 1993's Breath of Fire followed Ryu, a member of a lost race that can transform into dragons.
