Background
Set in an underground world that time has forgotten, this newest Breath of Fire game takes players on a journey to the surface of the Earth. Ryu, a Ranger for the underground civilization, is on his routine patrol assignment when he has a sudden "awakening" and is determined to discover what lurks above. Follow Ryu, and other members of the underground society, as they fight their way to the surface against monsters and adversaries.
Gameplay
When Ryu, Nina and Lin explore the vast labyrinths of Sheldar, they will encounter a wide variety of enemies. Using the Positive Encounter Tactics System (PETS) you can lure in the enemy with bait to get the intiative, or damage the enemy with explosives before the battle even begins. If at any time you feel you can't go on, you can use Scenario Overlay (SOL) to backtrack to where you last saved your game, while retaining some experience
