Breath of Fire III – 1997 Developer Interviews (Patreon)

http://shmuplations.com/breathoffireiii/

These two Breath of Fire III interviews originally appeared in The PlayStation magazine just prior to the games release in September 1997. Although five members of the team are listed, the majority of the interview is centered around director Makoto Ikehara, who had been involved as a planner since the first game, and would go on the direct the next two sequels as well. Topics covered include the transition to the PlayStation, new mechanics, and how the Breath of Fire series fits into the larger context of RPG game design.
