Unlike a lot of series, the Breath of Fire line of games keeps getting better with each installment. When you play this game, you are playing a very fresh and original game. This breath of fresh fire.... er... air makes playing Dragon Quarter a lot of fun. The whole strategic battle system is a major plus, but the real enjoyment comes from the awesome Scenario Overlay system, as well as the D-Counter. The replay value for this game is relatively high as well.

In addition to a detailed walkthrough, we've have included a list of all the skills in the game, as well as where to get them. A list of the special D-Ratio areas and a method for getting the best ratio is also inside. We will also try to help you tame the dragon within Ryu - if even for a short time. Much luck finding the sky!

During your quest, you meet a man who wants to set up a wares shop. If you invest in his start-up expenses, the shop will have different stuff for sale:

1-100 gold - Basic weapons
101-500 gold - Basic skills
501-1000 gold - Better weapons and some skills
1001-2000 gold - Better skills at the cost of more items available
2001-2500 gold - Mega heal kits at lowered prices
2501-3000 gold - Good weapons, items, skills, armor and a mini-game
3001-5000 gold - Great weapons for Lin, poor weapons for Ryu and Nina, and good spells for Nina
5001-10000 gold - Great weapons, skills, spells, stat increasers, armor, items, but no mini-game

If you opt to restart the adventure, you unlock more and more areas previously unavailable, but the monsters also match your party's experience. If you restart too many times, you will be in for an extremely tough fight in the beginning!

However, if you established a shop in the Ant Village and proceeded deep into the game, you may want to restart with all the items you currently have. By fighting constantly in the beginning, the Ant Village Shop will have newer and better skills that will be more useful.
