Breath of Fire VII: Chains of Fate

Warning: Reading further will subject you to a rant about a video game franchise.

Ok, so this piece means a lot to me. With the announcement of a shitty phone game as the next installment for the Breath of Fire seires, I've pretty much given up hope of having another good game. I raised myself (somewhat literally) on Breath of Fire 3 and later 2. Sure, 4 wasn't very good, and Dragon Quarter while being a decent game was a pretty bad BoF game, but I always had hope they'd go back to their roots. Now it's a phone app. Sigh.

So after 2002 there were no games for about 13 years or so. During that time I started dreaming up possible plot lines and the like, and settled on a sort of showdown with the goddess (a reoccuring villain) that spans dimensions, using a customizable archetype system for modifying your characters (In each dimension there was the chance you could find different versions of your characters, along with new characters, doing so, you could absorb them and take on their archetypes, like healer, sniper, swordsman, ninja, etc. Then for your character you could add elements of their design as well as perks from the different archetypes so that you could change up how your character or even entire party fights. As for the dragons, they were based around the seven deadly sins, five elements, sunlight and another option to change up design and make small adjustments to functionality.

In this piece, the goddess had made it into our dimension and found Nina before Ryu. Recognizing her, the goddess struck her down just as Ryu was coming up to meet her. 

Ryu knelt down and put his arms around Nina, holding her close. She was still warm, could easily be mistaken for alive but for her empty eyes. Cradling her broken form, Ryu pushed himself to his feet, his eyes trailing up to lock on the goddess.

As the air began to distort around Ryu, the goddess came under the uneasy feeling that she may have made a mistake. The aura of the Brood was intense around this one, so much so that it left a visible corona. Unconsciously, the goddess took a step backwards, then another. A sick feeling welled up inside of her, and she caught herself. Looking upon the avatar of Wrath,  the goddess rediscovered fear.
