I just looked up Breath of Fire V and it seems pretty interesting. It seems that a lot of people think Breath of Fire V was extremely difficult and very short. How was the difficulty for you (and if it was difficult for you, why)? How often do you get to save? Also, how many hours did it take you to beat it?

The game was designed to make you start over from the beginning (with some items and exp carried over) multiple times; the difficulty and overall length is designed with this in mind.
Things that ramp up the difficulty:
- You can only save by using a "Save Token" or suspending your game. The tokens are in rather short supply and can't be carried over.
- Limited inventory. There is no healing magic, only items, and even when you expand the inventory through gameplay, space is still at a premium.
- Time limit. Every step you take, every turn in battle, and every use of your dragon power fills up a meter. When it reaches 100%, it's game over (though you can of course restart).
That said, I was able to beat it in about 25 hours, and only had to re-start 3 times (always near the beginning, so not a lot of backtracking). By saving your dragon powers and only using them on the tough final bosses, it's quite possible to slog through.
(Incidentally, I'd add Radiata Stories to the list.)
Jam it back in, in the dark.
