Well, yeah, there's Ryu, and there's Nina, and there's dragons...but this is still nothing like any Breath of Fire you've played before.
Take everything you know about Breath of Fire and throw it right out the window: Dragon Quarter is nothing like the last four games and really nothing like any other console RPG in existence. The Japanese final version revealed a deep story that was more postmodern sci-fi than vague medieval, and the 3D cel-shaded characters gave the game an engagingly emotional side the series never had before.Dragon Quarter is one of the few RPGs that actually expects you to die often?you can start over at any time with all your weapons and experience and with all encountered bosses defeated, letting you explore new story paths at any time. It's a novel approach?you can't accuse this game of being linear, at least.
