As it gets nearer to completion, Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter is already a major deviation from its predecessors in both gameplay and visual style. The preview build of the series' fifth installment featured a Scenario Overlay System that carried over experience points and items to saved and even newly restarted games. The improved turn-based combat system gave the freedom to choose between attacks of varying potency, which could be strung together into lethal combinations; you could also set up traps by dropping meat to bait enemies. However, the game's anime-style cel-shaded graphics were what really set it apart from other genre offerings. Despite some slightly finicky camerawork, Dragon Quarter should be a uniquely wild experience no RPG gamer should miss.
