#Breath of Fire

[prokopetz]

One of my fondest childhood gaming memories is playing Breath of Fire II and discovering there's no actual limit on counterattacks, so if a character with a high counter rate attacked a monster with a high counter rate, sometimes they'd just counter each other's counters until one of them died. Was this good game design? Absolutely not. Was it hilarious every single time it happened? Yes, yes it was.

I like when media depicts dragons as creatures that come in many different shapes and sizes.

I was thinking about how i'd joked before about blond anime dragkings in the 90s having been a death sentence. But honestly there's only so many of those, and seemingly fewer and fewer in modern series... Where as the archetype that came about at the same time that really did get me down bad for the next decade+ was the tan skin, red (often messy) hair, big girl/muscle girl/sword girl/athlete. (with optional tomboy or feral personality)

(I'll admit a few of these I remembered differently in my head --either I remembered their skin being darker or hair being redder-- than what turned up once I started googling, but a few are definitely a conflict of in-game sprites vs official art, or having a more noticeably darker skin tone compared to the other characters in their respective show/game, but more light skinned looking on their own)
