Breath of Fire/YMMV: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

* [[Anticlimax Boss]]: All the way back in the first Breath of Fire game for the SNES, we have Tyr/Maria/Myria, the Goddess of Destruction. All the build-up for how terrible she is, and because of [[Power of Friendship|Agni]], {{spoiler|which reveals her true form,}} she can't even deal damage in the triple digits, and healing is only an occasional necessity.

* [[Complete Monster]]:

** Cort/Kyura

** ''I'': Mote's whole [[Trapped in Another World|dreamworld stitch]], and Myria's portrayal in ''The Dragon Warrior'' manga adaptation.

** ''II'': The opening where you go from beloved resident of Gate to no one having any recollection of you (shudder). Most of what Habaruku does. The worst ending. The final dungeon's pulsating-flesh appearance.

** ''IV'': {{spoiler|Elina's fate}}. The Carronade and ''anything'' to do with how it works and what it does. Ryu's breakdown, who even terrifies Nina, who had ''never'' shown fear of being that close to a dragon before. The Fou Empire's predecessors, with their three attempts at summoning caused the first to {{spoiler|spawn with only a head}}, the second to {{spoiler|spawn with no physical body}}, and the third to be {{spoiler|split in half and spread across 600 years.}}

*** The manga adaptation '''seriously''' drives this point home with both the Carronade and Ryu's breakdown: The former {{spoiler|with Mami, who is tortured with hot irons and who is ''explicitly'' described as having suffered every torture the Empire could throw at her}} and the latter {{spoiler|Not only showing the Kaiser Dragon on a Godzilla-esque rampage (complete with depictions of Fou Empire solders being torn asunder), but it's shown that Kaiser Breath is capable of boring holes in '''mountains'''.}}
