Released on: Super Nintendo, Game Boy Advance, Wii U, New Nintendo 3DS, Switch.The English translation was atrocious even by the standards of the day, but a high-quality fan translation exists. Seems like small potatoes, but it gradually unravels a conspiracy involving Myria's offspring, who has some massive evil plans, indeed. Flash to adulthood, where Ryu must clear his buddy's name after he is caught breaking inside a vault. Breath of Fire II (1994): II introduces Ryu as a young boy who, after nodding off to sleep one morning, finds his family has vanished and no one recognizes him.Released on: Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Game Boy Advance, Wii U, Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo Switch.However, Square's translators had to truncate a lot of item descriptions to fit the in-game menu and renamed a lot of characters seemingly at random, making some of the connections between I-III vague. It was localized by Square rather than Capcom, the game's makers, resulting in a translation which wasn't quite as bad as it could have been. Breath of Fire (1993): The original focused on Ryu's quest to save his sister and the world from Emperor Zog, who plots to release Myria, a goddess of temptation and strife.

The game's official artbook states that the fifth is not connected with the others. There's some argument over whether the fourth game comes first or last in the chronology.

The first two games had mazes that included the insides of a giant robot reminiscent of the later EarthBound's Dungeon Man, the mind of a sentient (though senile) tree and the stomach of an overweight queen which must be flattened by killing all the demons that have infested it.

Laughably-bad translations, at least for the first two games.Enough psychological drama to make your head spin.
