Breath of Fire IV

Great game but terrible port

This is one of best jrpgs I've ever played. The story is amazing and original, the main villain is one of the best ever portrayed and well written, the battles are cool and engaging. This port on the other side is a terrible mess! Don't be fooled by the "Full support for modern controllers" and "Stunning New and Improved Graphics" descriptions as the controller support is terrible and will get different errors depending or your system (just look at the many complaints shared on the reviews) - in my case I couldn't map the Confirm button and also somehow I keep entering the initial area again on the worldmap (even when I don't press anything) The graphics are the same as in the ps1 version, the only thing they did was upscale to modern resolutions and even that is messed because the characters and textures are blurried and sometimes it feels like the game is stutering. Besides, there is no added quality of life options such as fast forward battles (something I personally think that would be very welcome in this remaster) I always wait for a sale and some initial patches to buy any game, even those that aren't too expensive. When I heard about this, however, I got it right away. I know its a great thing to have these games getting the attention they deserve but its also important they get the proper treatment and polishment. It makes me sad to say this, but unless they fix it, avoid it and get the console version instead.
