Great news, classic role-playing game fans! Starting today, Breath of Fire and game music aficionados in North America, Europe and Oceania alike can purchase and download the original soundtracks to the first three Breath of Fire games!

Breath of Fire I ~ III Original Soundtrack Collection, previously exclusive to Japan, can now be downloaded on the Capcom Store – altogether that’s a spicy 192 DRM-free MP3 tracks for just $14.99!

The first three BoF games were composed by the prolific Capcom Sound Team “Alph Lyla”, who also worked on a slew of other beloved Capcom games. You might recognize their aliases in the credits of some of your favorite retro titles:

Breath of Fire (SNES)

Yasuaki “Bun Bun” Fujita (Mega Man 3, Final Fight 1 & 2)
Mari “Mari” Yamaguchi (Mega Man 5, Super Ghouls ‘n Ghosts)
Minae “Ojalin” Fujii (Mega Man 4, DuckTales 2)
Yoko “Pii♪” Shimomura (Street Fighter II, Final Fight)
Tatsuya “ANIE” Nishimura (Final Fight 2)

Breath of Fire III (PS1)

Leading up to Breath of Fire’s North American SNES debut in 1994, Capcom was already a champion of videogame music. At this point, the memorable tunes of Mega Man and Street Fighter II were constantly inspiring countless fans. Since Breath of Fire was our company’s first 16-bit flagship RPG, it’s no wonder the composers wanted to go all-out with the score.
