To be fair: at this point would anyone have trusted Capcom to deliver a competent BoF 6 on consoles or handhelds? It probably would have been garbage either way, I figure at least this way I know immediately upfront I don't have to bother with it or get my hopes up.

They waited 10 years to release a successor to Breath of Fire V, a goddamn magnum opus of the JRPG genre and a beautiful swan song for the series itself. And what do they do? Announce a glorified flash game.
Fuck you, Capcom. First you shit all over Mega Man Legends 3 (in an ongoing effort to take a greater dump on the Mega Man franchise) and now this. Insulting.

I agree that BoFV is goddamn fantastic, but the game was a big departure from the previous entries and doesn't seem to be widely received that well (it sold less than half of what 4 did in all territories), so whatever 6 was going to be it was probably going to be nothing like what 5 was. Goes back to my first point of it was probably going to be shit anyway. I don't trust most of the big name companies to make competent JRPGs for the most part at this point.
As an aside they also announced that Breath of Fire 2 is coming out to the Wii U Virtual Console in the upcoming months. While it's hilarious that it's going to take "months" to release a digital version of a fucking SNES game, the game also has quite possibly the worst english translation of a RPG of all time, so that really helps with the sting of this announcement.
