Role playing games come and go, but few stay as relevant talking points like the Breath of Fire series has. Recently, in an interview with developer Camelot Software Planning’s Takashi brothers, it was revealed that a new Breath of Fire title is something that they are considering.
…It is possible to start planning for titles such as the Breath of Fire series. As I mentioned earlier, the number of games we can develop at a time is quite limited so we would like to consider what people want the most in order to determine the next title for development.
According to the Takashi brothers, the only reason why Camelot was unable to pursue the possibility of a new Breath of Fire game was because of the loss of critical team members during the Mario Tennis: Power Tour crisis of 2005. Since then, the team has been rebuilt, thus making retro RPG enthusiasts excited all over again.
If every RPG developer or publisher thought like this, I would already be playing a localized version of Mother 3, or wandering through the vast deserts of Tecmo: Secret of the Stars 2. Barring another Mario sports game, I wonder if Camelot would consider bringing a Breath of Fire title to a console. Fully realized 3D fairy queens? I’m in.

Glad to hear they're still interested. As much as I'd like to see another Golden Sun game from them, they can go fuck themselves if they make GS over a new Breath of Fire. I've been waiting so many years, Camelot. So...so many years.
Do want.
I second the call for a Golden Sun/Lost Age remake or sequel.
P.S. @Evil Cheese, you are referring to Township. BOFII is full of epic.
Yeah, the previous games were made under the idea of making a game and not an exercise of removing your own sexual organs, in reverse.
A new Breath of Fire game would be great. Especially by someone like Camelot.
"Play" Dragon Quarter? You don't play Dragon Quarter, you freaking well summon your persona for real and then the gods subject you to the 13th circle of Gaming Hell.
It just happens to be a realy badly done RPG that maskerades as a chapter in the Breath of Fire Series and instead is the demonseid of the bad stuff of Nethack and Resident Evil.
...There is no Dragon Quarter. There is no Dragon Quarter. There is no Dragon Quarter. There is no Dragon Quarter.
If only we could ever have a localized version of Seiken Densetsu 3. That game was so awesome.
But yes, Golden Sun sequel is something i'd want more though.
