I never post reviews. Breath of Fire IV breaks that trend. One of the "holy grail" JRPGs from the Playstation 1 era (which for me is the greatest JRPG era), an absolute masterclass in pacing, design, and presentation. The visuals are unlike anything from the generation, and still have a cohesiveness that puts a majority of new games to shame. The fact that this is not only back, but part of the GOG Preservation Program, is astounding. I genuinely didn't think it would ever happen, but it did! Now, about releasing Breath of Fire III...... If you are, or have EVER been, a fan of turn-based JRPGs, this one is a no-brainer. A cream of the crop release, something that will last a lifetime. I mean, over 20k fans voted for this on the GoG Wishlist, 4 console generations (and damn near 30 years) after its initial launch, which shows the longevity and impact this one had. Breath of Fire for life!
