Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter: Difference between revisions

 

{{tropelist}}

* [[After the End]]: The story takes place 1000 years [[After the End]], when humanity is driven underground by a [[Hopeless War]] that renders the surface uninhabitable.

* [[Alternate Universe]]: From the rest of the series.

* [[Gameplay and Story Segregation]]: In successive playthroughs of the game, it's possible to raise Ryu's D-ratio to 1/4, but in-story he's still treated as a low-D grunt.

* [[Genetic Engineering Is the New Nuke]]: A major theme of the backstory of ''Dragon Quarter''. {{spoiler|Genetic Engineering is such an effective [[Weapon of Mass Destruction]], in fact, that scientists in the past managed to create ''[[Our Dragons Are Different|dragons]]'' as weapons which proceeded to cause [[The End of the World as We Know It]]. What's left of humanity is still living underground ''over a millenium later''.}}

* [[My Greatest Failure]]:

** Elyon: {{spoiler|Refusing to open the door to the sky when he was a Chosen of Odjn. He feared that it wasn't his own decision, and this resulted in Odjn breaking his link with Elyon.}}

** Bosch: {{spoiler|Being defeated by Ryu. Much of this is because Bosch is a [["Well Done, Son" Guy]] who was pressured to excel and he just can't handle being defeated by a low-D; this leads to a descent from being [[The Rival]] to a full-blown [[Villainous Breakdown]].}}

* [[Power Levels]]: D-Ratios in ''Dragon Quarter'' determine a person's potential in life and are therefore used as criteria for determining social status and prospects. 1/8192 means you're stuck as a grunt for life, 1/64 makes you a super-elite, while 1/4 more or less marks you as a [[Physical God]]. {{spoiler|The more accurate description of the D-Ratios is the likelihood of a successful linkup with a D-Construct, but exactly what they base this on is never elaborated on, and while you can raise your Ratio up to 1/4 in a [[New Game+]] by playing through the game quickly, opening as many treasure chests as possible, killing a lot of enemies and getting first strikes on the majority of them, finishing the [[Bonus Dungeon]], saving as little as possible and having your characters leveled up as high as possible, it doesn't effect the storyline and only allows you to explore a few bonus areas and allows you to get a better version of the game's [[Infinity+1 Sword]].}}

* [[Puzzle Boss]]
