Breath of Fire 6 never came to the West, so that's one reason to bring it to GOG. However, it was also a mobile-style gacha type RPG with a big emphasis on microtransactions, so it's a bit complicated. On top of that, it has virtually none of the devs involved with the first 5 games, the art style was changed dramatically, and the combat was very simplistic with only occasional nods to its predecessors (like townbuilding, fishing, and classic BoF costumes/skins). Having played it on Android in both beta and release prior to its shutdown, it didn't really feel much like a BoF game, but I also couldn't understand any of the story, and I wish I did! The nicest thing I can say is the soundtrack's great, the characters seem interesting, and it led to Capcom acknowledging BoF a little more with a still-working series website portal. But given 6's bad reputation and shutdown due to bad performance, it also feels like it's severely hampered a proper BoF revival. I hope now however, that enough time has past where BoF can come back in full glory. A proper Breath of Fire VI (with a roman numeral) is the true dream!

I know everybody was disappointed by this game being mobile cash grab garbage, but it's part of my favorite game series, and I would like to be able to play it myself and see how disappointing it is. The Art is nice like the rest of the series at least

The reason this failed was the greedy like approach they went with it.
it felt like a Chinese rip off game, just stole the breath of fire name and threw a bunch of gambling mechanics in, and that was it(tried very little to be part of the lore).
a really poor style and approach(the gameplay style felt really off too).
honestly in my opinion this should have never be considered BOF6 and ever part of the series.
If they actually learned from BOF 3 and 4, put more effect into it.
less gambling/mobile approach, it would have been soo much better.
we could have only wished it was.
