ADDIT'S PROFILE

Yeah, Breath Of Fire 4 was a pretty good game, IMO, and I actually kind of prefer it more than 3, actually. Both games were pretty solid in my books, and had some really interesting ideas going for it, like you already mentioned.

I mean, the only sucky thing that I can remember right now is that they got rid of the dragon gene splicing mechanic from 3 and dumbed it down a bit by just having straight up transformations for Ryu. Plus the world map was reduced by going from point A to point B on a pretty linear pathway, but then again Breath Of Fire 3’s world map was pretty similar to it in a lot of cases, so it’s not that much of a big deal.

But yeah, having all your party members being able to fight together, and switch between one another for certain situations was a pretty cool idea. The combo system was neat, similar to something out of Chrono Trigger, and it was pretty cool how you got to play as the game’s main villain and kind of see things from his own personal perspective of what’s going on, compared to the other three games.

It’s just a shame that this Breath Of Fire game was pretty much the last game in the series that went this way before 5 and 6 started changing things unnecessarily to something else that’s almost completely unrecognizable to the rest of the series. Instead of taking away what worked before, they should have continued building upon it.

You’re supposed to plan three games ahead that you wanna make in advance after your current one's done. That’s how the pros do it.

You only really learn how to backup all of your stuff on a more consistent basis when you eventually DO happen to lose all of your stuff one day out of the blue and you know that it could have been avoided in the first place. That’s the only way anybody’s gonna learn these days, through experience and pain...but mostly the pain.

Someone tried the ol' "Let's put this image up, no let's delete it and put it up again, and now let's delete it and put it up again, yay I'm on front page. Time to remove and put it up again!" trick.

It didn't work.

Are you sure that they really meant to do that? Maybe they just had to take the image down and repost it a couple of times over because they kept on noticing issues with the image or had to fix or adjust a couple of things with it.

Either way, I didn’t know that you could abuse something like that so easily. You would think that something like that would have been eliminated from generating any additional buzz a long time ago. Are you guys planning on cutting something like that out for the future so this doesn't happen again?

Use controversy and drama to get buzz for your game, instead. You're still an ass, but at least you're a LEGIT ass and not a CHEATING one.

- Is there any other better way than using controversy and drama? Seems like that type of stuff ALWAYS generates and brings in the buzz. :)
