In an interview with Hironobu Takeshita, who is the producer of BOF, he's stated that the Breath of Fire series isn't dead, and there will definitely be another in the future.

This is brilliant news for those of us that thought, after the disappointing sales of DQ, the BOF series would be dropped. But now those fears are gone, cuz we're gonna have another BOF!!! Hooray!

Unfortunately, Takeshita has said that they're not working on it now, nor has any planning started for it. But at least there is gonna be one, eh?

They're discussing it here in the Dragon Tear forums. There's a link to a video about it at the top. I haven't managed to watch it yet.

Lazy, lazy Capcom. They ought to stop doing Resident Evil and start on Breath of Fire again instead- that's much more interesting. (I don't care for scary games, they scare me... )

Yeah, I hope the next game's more traditional too. DQ was a nice break, but I think the old style would be best now. Maybe if we're lucky the characters will have real voices this time!

Yeah, if there wasn't any voice acting it would be a bit odd. (Do they actually make any RPG's without voice acting any more?)

I agree about the Nina with proper wings thing- those red things she had on her back in V were pretty stylish looking, but they weren't really wings... I'd like to see a Nina that had working wings this time. (So we can fly around as her!)

But at the same time, I'm a little tired of the bubbly naive Nina we saw in 3 and 4. I think perhaps an older Nina would be better- not really old, but maybe 25- 35, somewhere in that sorta' region. It'd be a nice change. Not many games feature older heroes, it seems to have become an unwritten rule that heroes have to be teenagers.

It's never too late for another Breath of Fire. If Capcom can get some good advertising for it, they'll do fine.

OMG, more news!!!

Apparently a games company called Camelot who are currently working with Capcom on something want to make a new RPG. They're thinking about joining forces again and making a new Breath of Fire. Take note of the bold on that 'thinking' people.

A link for y'all.

It's nothing concrete, but it's something, eh? Breath of Fire seems to be getting in the news again after years of silence, and I think that may be a good sign. Maybe the winds of change are finally beginning to blow on the BoF front?

Ah, so that's who they are. Thanks for that. To be honest, I had absolutely no idea who Camelot were before you said!
