This was one of a kind JRPG that I found in my early teens, back when I wanted to play Diablo and couldn't. Ended up addicted to it - simple gameplay and mechanisms, the companion is really useful and very well done/placed into the game. It is quite linear but is still very fun. Would be awesome to have this here as an complete package (all 4 episodes), with support for widescreens and high resolutions so I can finally revive those old good memories of this awesome game!

This is such a hidden gem of a game I would love to see come to GoG! What sticks out to me was the awesome gameplay, awesome music, and fun RPG system. It was released in parts but I would love to see the full game show up here with support for modern systems! I want this game on GoG so that others can also discover this gem of a game!

I've only ever played the first episode. I remember there was an external program that would catalogue the items you had found but you would have to save, quit, scan, and reload. The completionist in me didn't mind the interruptions to gameplay at the time. The first episode was free, acting as a demo for the saga of four. It was fun, and the dog companion was a neat addition to the Diablo formula. I think you can still purchase the episodes from the original developer but it would be amazing for it to be here, preserved on GoG as a complete collection.

Breath of Fire
Breath of FireRecognized by Capcom as their first traditional role-playing video game, Breath of Fire would set the precedent for future entries in the series, and features character designs by company head of development Keiji Inafune, as well as music by members of Capcom's in-house sound team Alph Lyla. In 2001, the game was re-released for the Game Boy Advance handheld system with new save features and minor graphical enhancements, with the English version being released in Europe for the first time. Set in a fantasy world, Breath of Fire follows the journey of a boy named Ryu, one of the last surviving members of an ancient race with the ability to transform into mighty dragons, as he searches the world for his sister. During his quest, Ryu meets other warriors who share his quest, and comes into conflict with the Dark Dragon Clan, a militaristic empire who seeks to take over the world by reviving a mad goddess. The game experienced mostly positive reception upon release, and was followed by a direct sequel, Breath of Fire II, in 1994.
