In 24 years I haven't gotten BoFIV out of my head: the best sprite art the PS1 ever saw, the dragon ball-like transformations and battles - well-paced and turn-based capped with the intricate combo system. The main quest and cast; Kahn, my beloved Ershin, and the tragedy of Fou-Lu are personal highlights. And the breadth of charming mini-games on offer (Fairy town sim and actually fun fishing stand out) complete the package.
Music-wise watch the trailer and tell me that intro doesn't fill your heart with yearning, I'll replay BoFIV sometime in the near future one way or another, would love to buy a BoF collection to do so and show Capcom I care.
This DOES have a PC version! Capcom and SEGA are notorious for having one-off PC versions of their historic catalogue even if those versions aren't exactly great representations of the game or franchise. I would hope GOG reaches out to these publishers to look into preserving them for modern platforms!
Loved this game back in PSX era. I remember playing the whole game in japanese since it was the first version to arrive here in Brazil for some reason. When the US version came out, I played it all over again and this time understanding a little bit of the story. This is one of my all time beloved JRPGs and I would love to have this immortalized with GOG.
Truly one of the best JRPGs of its time.
With a beautiful art direction, wonderful animations and a pastel color palette.
Truly an inspiration for me who aspires to create pixel art as gorgeous as this game's.
The combat system is also super interesting with its combo mechanic.
And the story remains interesting the whole way through.
Played this on my PSP not too long ago and I really hope this comes back on gog so more people can experience it, as the old PC version does not run on modern hardware...
BOF4 is my favorite game in the series, it does so much right and the story engaging. I loved how it went backa nd forth between you and the villain getting to know more about him. Because some games the final boss isnt even mentioned until the end. Anyways this is one game i will never forget, i could go on and on about its characters, story, battle system or music even. Such a good game.
So charming! This game has amazing artwork and fluid sprites, a beautiful and eclectic soundtrack, a varied cast of characters with engaging arcs that are a joy to experience, and a litany of detailed environments and towns to explore — all of which perfectly compliments a compelling story. Plus, the combo system, while perhaps simple by modern standards, is particularly satisfying. There’s very little fat on this game.
It’s a shame the series has seemingly been banished to the wastelands by Capcom for as long as it has. Just as with Breath of Fire 3 and the series at large — this would be an ideal candidate for preservation on GOG.
ERSHIN BEST CHARACTER BAYBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
In all seriousness, this is an excellent Capcom JRPG game released during the PSOne era. With over 3,000 Animation Sprites, a great story, a wonderful Combo system, awesome famous Japanese voice actors, plus an amazing Art direction that is to this day, still ahead of its time.
Given this is the "PC" port, I hope the OST can be fixed, so that it'll loop correctly, as in the PSOne release. But that being said, this is my all-time favorite Capcom game !
I got Breath of Fire IV on my 12th birthday for PS1. Nearly 25 years later, this game remains the pinnacle of polished, refined Capcom pixel art. The sprites and animation are masterclass. The game's story is really engaging and has you playing as both the hero and anti-hero as you progress. The combat is some of the Breath of Fire series' finest, allowing you to swap characters in and out during battle (well before Final Fantasy X did it!). There's also a lot of polish with the game's Master System, Fishing minigame, and Faerie Colony; all improved over III's. The robot character Ershin also remains one of the best characters in the series! And how can I forget the game's incredible soundtrack by Yoshino Aoki? It's a wonderful melding of orchestral, folk, and world music.
The only knocks I have against the PC version are the forced bilinear filtering on the character sprites, certain resolutions stretching the aspect ratio, battle transition swirls being cut short, audio sounding richer on PS1, music not looping correctly, and the text font not looking as good as the PS1 original. Otherwise it's still very much the BoFIV fans have grown up and fell in love with! Hopefully GOG can give a re-release of this one its proper due and fix those aforementioned issues.
This was by far one of the most Unique and captivating Breath of Fire games in the series and JRPG of all time. Fou Lu was a force to be reckoned with. The transformations, boss battle themes and insane combos were part of what made this a gem. If ANY Breath of Fire game in the series was worthy of a true Sequel, then it was this one. Hope to see the entire BoF series make a come back someday soon!
This is one of the best games i played in my childhood... and one of the best jrpg on ps1...the soundtrack, the level design, the graphics at that time everything was amazing....please bring back this game
